If you have a fast growing business, and need a practical system for taking control of the chaos, you need to model serial entrepreneur and CEO Matt Smith.
Since 1995 Matt has worked on over a dozen businesses, managing rapid growth without breaking the business - or himself.
Take his last role as CEO.
Joining a successful financial newsletter publisher, Matt was tasked was a difficult challenge.
It was three months after their best year ever, and the company had entered an unexpected nosedive. Revenue was down a mind-boggling 30% year on year.
Everyone feared the end of the business was just around the corner.
The fast paced customer acquisition the year prior had pushed the company to its limits, and the leadership was didn't feel in control of the business.
When Matt took the reigns of the company, he started addressing the frustrations every entrepreneur has faced:
- Deathly slow decision making processes, rarely resulting in implementation even when something was decided on
- Employee conflict and confusion as everyone tries to move in different directions, lacking a single clear vision
- An overwhelming work load that threatens to grind you down, because you don't know how to unlock employee performance so they can take on more responsibility — and free up your time
But by the end of his tenure, these problems were all but gone.
From Out Of Control Nosedive T o
Smooth And Predictable Growth
When Matt's finished his role as CEO, he left behind a different business.
Under his leadership, the business had recovered from the nosedive.
Revenue had shot-up to 25% year on year, surpassing an annual revenue of over $200 Million.
The team of over 200 employees working for him performed at a higher lever - now achieving in days what used to take weeks.
And the business operated in a smooth, predictable way — without anyone scrambling to keep all the plates spinning.
The business didn't control the leadership. He controlled the business.
And he did it all:
- without working himself to exhaustion by cleaning up after employees who coudn't get things done on time or to a high quality
- without skipping holidays and time for himself as another emergency in the office appeared that demanded his attention
- without sacrificing precious time with his two children
How did he take back control and tame the business without sacrificing his personal life?
Matt used a simple management system to eliminate frustrations, and start growing the business with more focus and more control.
And more importantly, he got his entire team using the same system, too.
And as a result, Matt was able to take multiple “off the grid” family holidays without worrying the business will fall apart in his absence, eliminating email for weeks at a time:
The beautiful “off the grid” destinations Matt’s visited on his holidays from running fast growing companies have included Panama, Argentina, Nicaragua, Germany, Lithuania, and Costa Rica —
This isn’t the first time Matt has used this practical system to grow a business without burning himself out.
Since 1995 Matt's used the same system to quickly grow and build businesses in a range of industries including publishing, software development, home decoration service, performance advertising, and even financial services.
And every time he's used it, the business has seen breakaway success.
This is because the system strengthens the business, simplifies the management process, and eliminates the most exhausting and energy draining distractions that hinder smooth growth.
How This Simple Management System Can Give You Control Of The Chaos, Shrink Your Stress, And Give You A Grip On Your Business
Matt's system brings order to the chaos by transforming the way the business operates.
He changes the DNA of the business from reactive to proactive by addressing the 5 critical questions every business must answer:
- What are our big goals right now?
- Is everyone working in alignment with these big goals?
- How is each employee working towards these goals this week?
- How is each employee working towards these goals today?
- How do we solve the biggest block to achieving these goals today?
Now you probably know the answer to some of these questions when pressed. You might of even thought about the answers to these questions in the last two weeks.
But the difference between being in control of your business, and being controlled by your business, isn't in simply knowing the answers to these questions.
The difference is answering these questions on a pre-planned schedule. This is what it takes to take back control of your business.
And that's exactly what Matt does with his simple management system.
But Before You Learn Matt's Simple Management System Thereā€™s One Thing You Must Know
Implementing Matt's simple management system will simplify your business, and put you back in the driver's seat.
It will stop you from being pulled in a million directions every day, and give you the clarity and structure you know you need.
But before I share it with you, you must know one thing:
This is a practical system. To see the results and stop your business from flailing out of control, you'll need to invest some time in implementing it and using it with discipline.
And no, it is not software. If Trello, Asana, Basecamp, or any other tools could solve your issue, you wouldn't be here right now.
The truth is, if your business has you feeling stressed, frustrated, and even overwhelmed, you don't need another "quick-fix" tool.
Instead, you need to address the true root cause of your business' dysfunction:
A weak operating system.
This is why you’re stretched so thin just trying to keep your head above water.
It's why you don't have any spare time for yourself or your family.
And it's why you're stuck putting out fires every minute of the day - even emailing from your bed late at night, and taking calls on weekends.
But if you decide to take a step back, and make the time to implement this proven management system, you'll finally strengthen your business so you can get back in control.
The 5 Pieces Of The Simple Management System That Takes Back Control Of Your Business ā€” And Your Life
In just a moment, you’ll learn the 5 CEO tools that make up Matt's system.
These are the tools he's used to strengthen every business he’s worked with, giving him the control he needs to drive performance.
If you use these same practical tools, you'll strengthen your business by putting structure to the chaos.
And with structure to the chaos, you'll be in a position to solve those sticky issues that threaten to drag you down every day:
- Slowly made decisions that nobody acts on, robbing you off opportunities to take your business to the next level
- Unfocused and ineffective employees who fail to get their assignments done with urgency and accuracy
- Frustration as you're the only one who appears to be doing any work — even though you've hired the "right people" to help you
Don’t let the simplicity of these tools fool you.
Used correctly they’ll eliminate the confusion, chaos, and volatility you’re facing — putting you back in control of your business and your life.
The Quarterly Plan
Used once per quarter, the Quarterly Plan answers “What are our big goals right now?”
This process to defines the big picture for your team, guiding their work for the next 90 day sprint.
When one health publisher learned Matt's evolved Quarterly Planning process, they were in desperate needed help.
For too long the business had been completely reliant on the owner. It was hurtling along with no rhythm or real direction, and everyone was reacting to new ideas every week.
Wins weren't locked in. There was always a new fire to put out, and a new shiny object to chase. Morale was low, and staff were confused about what they should focus on.
And then they used Matt's evolved Quarterly Planning process.
After identifying the critical few initiatives they needed to focus on every 90 days, employees knew exactly what was expected of them. The owner stopped having to carry the business on his back.
And with the team working together, the health publisher's customer base exploded — 5x-ing within 24 months.
The WAM
Used once per week, the WAM answers "Is everyone working in alignment with these big goals?”
This process aligns your team, getting them all working in the same direction. It also serves as an opportunity to kill expensive and risky projects before they spiral out of control.
Matt's current business, a marketplace for financial instruments called Royalty Exchange, recently used The WAM to save $140,000 and two months.
In their Quarterly Planning, they'd decided to create a comprehensive piece of sales software.
As they began working on the initiative, they discovered this would take 3.5 months and cost $150,000 to accomplish.
They knew their had to be a better way to test their theory — and do it without investing so much time and money.
But in reviewing their plans, they realized that there had to be a better way.
By using The WAM, the leadership team identified a way to test their idea for just $10,000 - and have it live within 30 days.
$140,000 saved. Two and a half months reclaimed.
The GS&R
Used once per week, the GS&R answers “How is each employee working towards these big goals this week?"
This process focuses each employees attention on their two most important tasks, eliminating distractions by clarifying what really matters.
A number of years ago, a retirement planning business was struggling. They couldn't seem to crack the sales ceiling, no matter how optimized their processes were.
They were stuck in sales and fulfilment hell. Easily avoidable mistakes dragged out the time it took to get the payment from each deal, and no system or SOP was solving it.
And then they introduced the GS&R.
Using the GS&R, the owner was able to unlock his employee's performance.
His employees stopped being assistants who waited for him to give them the next task, and started contributing to the business in much bigger ways.
And within just 3 months of using the GS&R, the business had lifted deal flow by 70%, and cut the time it took to close each deal by 30%.
The DSU
Used for 15 minutes each morning, the DSU answers "How is each employee working towards these goals today?"
This process creates accountability and focus for your team as they share what they're working on for the next eight hours.
The DSU was recently used by an insurance company who wanted to double their business in 12 months.
After reverse engineering the numbers they needed to hit in their Quarterly Planning, they began using the Daily Stand-Up to track their progress towards their goal.
Everything was going to go to plan, or so they thought...
By using the DSU, the owner was able to identify the silent killers that were destroying their sales.
Without the DSU, these would've otherwise been written off as "time of the year" issues, slipping under the radar until the team was left scrambling to hit their goal at the end of the year.
The DSU gave them the insight they needed to address the problems early, tackling them head-on.
The result? Instead of being surprised with a stressful November and December as they struggled to make the quarter, the business has boomed with rapid adjustments to their sales approach.
The War Room
Used daily for 30 minutes, The War Room answers "How do we solve the biggest block to achieving our goals today?"
This process eliminates the obstacles blocking your team from making real progress on your quarterly goals.
Advertising.com used this part of Matt's system to claw their way out of bankruptcy, turn the business around, and later sell for $435,000,000 to AOL Time Warner.
It happened in the Dot Com Bubble. Over night Advertising.com's revenue dropped by 60%, leaving them scrambling to find revenue.
At first, things looked bleak. There was a risk they wouldn't make it out of their sudden crash in one-piece.
But by using The War Room, they turned the business around. They capitalized on every opportunity with speed and discipline.
And in 2007, Advertising.com was sold to AOL Time Warner as one of the Top 10 acquisitions to date — all because of The War Room.
These are the 5 tools that make up Matt's system.
There’s no high-level theory. There’s no complex HR psychological profiling or time wasting tests. And there’s no guessing.
