Maybe the physician who delivered me had a clipboard with a checklist. Maybe he used that checklist to slap me for my first breath of air. It stuck. I still have it. Still today, checklists, systems and procedures rule my life. To design it, implement it, manage and to control it.I live by this because it eliminates mistakes. It takes away confusion and I always know what my next step is going to be. Now you will say: "Yes, but life and business do not always happen according to checklists."True, but even change, new opportunities, expansions, scaling down - all the good, the bad and the ugly- need to be controlled with a system that is manageable and measurable. Living and working according to this has given me the opportunity to start a third business for my employer. He took me to an empty premises, gave me the keys and said: "I want you to open a fitment center." So I did. I build it from zero to a profitable business within a year. I was 22 years old. Since then this is who I am and what I do: Develop, implement, measure, improve.
