If you haven’t grabbed your complimentary copy of the cash flow system I told you about last week, don’t worry. We haven’t released it yet. You haven’t missed it. I got a bunch of emails from people thinking they had, but nope. We haven’t even opened the doors yet. It’s coming – soon – I promise.
In the mean time one of my obsessions has come full circle. I picked up my first copy of Michael Gerber’s E-Myth back in 2002. Back then I never dreamed I’d meet him, let alone get to know him. Fast forward to today, I have gotten to know him and on Sunday he asked me to write systems for HIS business. My idol is about to become to my client. How amazing is that?! I asked Sandye Linnetz our systems coach to write an article for you this week. I hope you enjoy it.
Take care,
Beth
Here I am with Michael Gerber, author of the E-Myth at the Prosper Now event. Ssshhh, don’t tell anyone. I really wasn’t planning on going, but when I got a call from my friend Kelly saying Michael was looking for me, I hopped in the car. Turns out he need some systems created for his business and he wanted to make sure I met and talked to the CEO of his company.
| Systemizing Your Business: In A Perfect World |

Thoughts from Sandye Linnetz, Systems Coach and Goddess
This may come as a news flash to some of you... but you can't Systemize your Business in the "perfect world" - that "perfect world" doesn't actually exist. Don't be alarmed. While this may, at first, appear to be bad news, in reality it's quite fabulous. See, it is through this "perfect world scenario" - which we get to create (first in thought and then with words on paper) - "what'spossible". We get a sneak preview of business as it could be - rather than as it is.
The "perfect world scenario" is something new, undone and uncharted. It is the process (or, more likely a manual full of processes and systems) that will turn your company around. To begin creating a new system, you must first take a realistic look at the way the process is happening right now. This we call the "as-is scenario". Stepping into the "as-is scenario" allows you to see where changes are needed in the way things are currently being handled. From this perspective you can also see where nothing is being done, where there are holes in your current process and where tasks might be more appropriately outsourced or delegated to someone else. Finally, the as-is perspective allows you to pat yourself on the back for where things are working smoothly and shouldn't be changed.
The system creation process is beautifully designed to get us from where we are to where we want to be. If we follow this creation process carefully, we can even figure out the best way to get there!
The power of a perfect world scenario is that you can take an idea and see where it leads.
