Many people who are unfamiliar with - or who are not sold on the concept of systemizing their business - believe that systems will stifle their creativity or freedom.
Nothing could be further from the truth! By implementing systems in your business, you will actually free up both yourself and your staff to apply your and their creativity to those matters that require creative thinking… rather than requiring them to apply their minds to reinventing the wheel on routine tasks.

One of the most popular and enduring business models is the franchise business model. More and more people are buying franchises these days. At the same time there’s a growing awareness that the franchise business model is innately helpful to any business. Just as franchise systems are based on clearly established and documented operational procedures, so too would most businesses benefit from approaching their businesses as if they too were franchise systems.

Success means different things to different people: for some it is building wealth; for some it is successful relationships; for some it is creativity and independence; and, for others it some form of leadership.
Whatever constitutes your definition of success, you will find some common principles that are needed to make it achievable. Consider the following four actions. Notice that they are called actions. Some would call them attitudes, but attitudes are birthed out of actions that you willingly embrace over time.
Action # 1: Embrace New Information

Finding the paid survey sites is both easy and difficult to do. While you can certainly do a search for “paid surveys” or “online surveys” through Google or another search engine, the results you get back may not always be as helpful as you would hope. It’s likely that many of the results you get back are membership sites that require a payment to join. Otherwise, you need to go through hundreds of results to find all the good paid survey sites that you should be joining to be successful as a survey taker. While this works, it is a long and time consuming process.

And this precursor is a state of mind. It’s the underlying reason you want to go into business, online or off.

Imagine a builder whose plumb line was somehow defective. Let’s say due to magnetic forces. The plum line missed the perpendicular by one degree. Such an error would probably be inconsequential on a ten foot wall of a bungalow. It may not even be such a big problem for a 25 foot wall on a two story mansion. But it starts becoming a precariously hanging wall on a 80 plus foot wall on a ten floor storey building. If you building a one hundred plus floor story building like the former towers of the collapsed World Trade Center in New York, one degree error in laying the foundation of the walls would require you to bring down the building and start again.
