Systems and Love

At work, we've been talking about systems. It's kind of funny because entrepreneurial people typically don't like structure, but it's a very important part of any business. Structure is the coordination of a team, and a team can play well if all the players are good, know the game, and if they are lucky. Success is intentional every step of the way. A good plan doesn't always mean a good outcome, but it sure helps.

Systems also only work when everyone, uses the system the same way. For example, if my boss trains me a certain way to do things, and I deviate from that, I teach someone else to do it another way. Eventually over time, there will be a procedural game of "telephone" circulating around the whole company until one person barely knows what the original procedure is

In the Og scrolls this week it focuses on love. There were a lot of things that I really liked, such as that we must love ourselves, make more time for love, less time for hate, and that love is both a key and a shield. I do disagree however. that love for clients and people can not make a business successful. There needs to be some love for the trade and love for discipline. As long as we keep love in our lives, we can succeed at anything we put our minds to. Love truely is the most valuable asset one can posses.
