To Work Successfully From Anywhere...
you'll need more than remote access.
SUCCESS STARTS HERE
A 'Fixed Mindset' Limits You
A 'Growth Mindset' Will Serve You Better
"Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it."
- Steve Maraboli"Mindset + Skill Set + Tool Set = Assets"
- Myron GoldenMake It Easier For Your Business To Run Itself --> Go Digital
Adjust your mindset if you truly wish to do what you want, when you want.
Develop a Systems over Goals Mentality. Shift your mindset to focus more on systems than goals. Goals are good for setting direction, but systems are best for making progress.
Achieve personal freedom by adopting 'Data-Driven Systems' to run your company while you monitor your firm's Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from anywhere with a custom app serving as your 'Executive Dashboard.' Today every company needs apps to engage their customers and run their businesses. Effective custom apps should boost performance, improve quality control and the firm's scalability while reducing your personal commitment of time.
The problem is that most small business owners don't have systems and processes that help them scale.
No matter what industry you're in, CompanyAxis.Systems enables you to build a self-managing company.

"If you truly want to be an entrepreneur, you don't need to work at being better at what you do, you need to work at creating the systems and processes that can replicate what it is that you do - flawlessly."
- Michael E. Gerber
Achieve Operational Efficiency Using Ai with a Relational Database System
Success favors action, so develop a mindset that has a bias for action. To work less, earn more, and enjoy life - put a system in place that enables your own team or others to manage your business processes without you being physically present. You can centralize your processes while streamlining operations and enhancing analytics. Use the system to empower employees and independent contractors, or even another company (outsource) to achieve the objectives you want.
Grow a Self-Managing Company
An 'Owner-Independent' Business
What will work - just right - for your firm?
There's no single right way, there's only the 'right way' for you! Every business has key steps to accomplish objectives. If those 'key steps' are all stored in your head, then that's a problem you can correct. Invest in the growth of your business by making the effort to get those 'key steps' documented in such a way that they can be acted upon by others. Create a process based system to get things done, a system that others can follow. 'Workflow Systems' are reliable processes and procedures that empower your team to get the results your business requires, so - systemize everything!
"Developing systems to the point where they run the business instead of you is the fastest path to predictable profits." -- John Sheridan, advisor to small business owners and author of The Perfect Business. NOTE: Systems run the business but people run the system. You'll need to find key team members, build strong operational systems, and cultivate a culture that encourages your teams to own much of the day-to-day decision making to run your business. As management guru Peter Drucker once said, "The founder has to learn to become the leader of a team rather than a 'star' with 'helpers.'"
Business Process Management: Employ Ai with a 'Relational Database' to manage and automate your systems. Example: Our CompanyAxis databases run on the Claris FileMaker® (An Apple Subsidiary) platform to automate tasks and processes for our firm's internal business operations. You can do the same. We'll guide you. FileMaker® works on your mobile devices, computers at your physical locations, the web, and in the cloud. You can customize and control it yourself - to do exactly what your business needs.
You can get more done by doing less. Our ultimate goal is to remove you from your company's architecture. Look, you know your own business better than anyone else so start by writing down everything you do so that you can focus on and choose specifically which tasks should be completely eliminated, automated or delegated. In fact, Ai gives you a way to get stuff done faster than it would take to describe it or delegate it - so learn how best to use it.
Eliminate non-productive busy work. Automate repetitive tasks and delegate the rest. Never delegate anything that can be fully automated! The responsibility for a partially automated task can and should be delegated to a person on your team. After you Eliminate, Automate and Delgate... all that should remain for you to do are those tasks that directly result in increased revenue because your team, using your 'process based system,' will do the maintaining for you.
Start by reading 'Simple Processes Create More Revenue' and then Process Mapping - a key to Owning a Business (both by Chuck Blakeman) and execute the process.
Remember, the ultimate goal is to have your system run the business instead of you. You need to see in your mind's eye, to imagine it, your 'process-based system' and visualize it, see it from the end - complete. You can use a 'Mind Mapping' software application like LucidChart as a tool to help you visualize your firm's processes. Start with a simple macro view of your firm's processes and then you can add detail later to map out a micro view. The micro view provides information needed for both automated and non-automated processes.
Apply a 'system based - process driven' approach to workflows that'll accomplish your firm's objectives. Streamline your scattered information and any inefficient business processes you may have by deploying custom digital apps to assist with your workflow. Create custom apps with the Claris FileMaker® platform (like we do) for your onsite and remote systems. You can also create many of the apps you'll need with your favorite spreadsheet program. Engage an expert to get it done for you or, businesses using 'Google Workspace' like we do in our extranet can follow the same 'How to Create Custom Apps' DIY instruction that we use.
Executive Dashboard
You can access the Google Data Studio from your Google Workspace Account to create what you need with a free template like this one and track the KPIs important to you. We use this one ourselves within the Google Marketing Platform.
You can build and grow any small business and make it run independently of you by supporting team members with digital workflow solutions, so develop your leadership and 'team building' entrepreneurial skills. Improving these skills along with implementing a 'direct response database marketing system' will make it easier for you to build a portfolio of small private companies. Systems run the business but people run the system.
