I was driving down to one of my clients Keytek UK Limited one morning recently, on a lovely summer’s day, listening to Michael Gerber on my CD player. I have a rule that if I am in the car on a work day, that is work time, so I must use this time to improve my knowledge in some way (you should try this it is a great way of learning about running a successful business).

Gerber is the author of the e-myth and one of the world’s leading experts on small business.

To be honest, I was only half listening, when suddenly he said something that made me ‘prick my ears up’.

He started talking about how McDonalds first started. Ray Crock walked into the McDonald brother’s restaurant when it was a small local restaurant to sell them a milk machine. Ray noticed that the McDonald brothers had a fantastic business and so he approached the brothers asking to buy the franchise rites to McDonalds and as they say the rest is history.

History shows that Ray Crock bought the rites to franchise McDonalds for next to nothing, because that it what the McDonald brothers thought is was worth. They had tried to franchise the business, but let’s face it. In those days who would buy a franchise Burger Bar? The brothers believed that if someone wanted to be in the Burger Bar business they could just go ahead and start their own. The reason the McDonald brothers did not value their business was that they believed that they didn’t have the time to franchise it, as they worked every hour there is making hamburgers.

This reminds me of what many business owners keep saying to me. They are too busy making hamburgers, or completing accounts, or repairing locks, or cleaning ovens, or designing websites, or what ever it is that the business does.

If you think abut it, most people reading this article went into business X years ago and they went into business doing the work of the business.

If they had worked really hard and long hours where do you think they would be now? You are correct, still working very hard!

However, all successful businesses people go into business to run a business that completes accounts, or repairing locks, or cleans ovens, or designs websites, or whatever it is that the business does and that is what we help people to do.

My questions for you at this time are:
