Do chores well, get through difficult things, and become big things
If you feel that you are busy doing something, it means that you are about to have a problem.
You really can't be too busy, but you have to be free.
This "idle" does not mean that you have nothing to do, but that your things must be arranged.
In 2018, the company was developing very well at that time, and every employee was busy every day, and the employees were desperate to increase their salaries. Later, my eldest brother in Shanghai came to me and asked me what I was doing lately and why I didn't talk to him anymore. Then, when I was free, I had time to reply to him, and told him about the current situation of the company, and now the company is doing too quickly, but I am a little too busy, can you help me come up with ideas? Shanghai brother told me, do you really think the company's development is good? Are you sure it's not because it's too fast? Can you stabilize now?
Hearing what he said, I instantly understood that it was the company's rapid development that gave me the illusion of good development. You can't control your own time, is this still called development? We must put the company in a controllable range, which is called fast. Therefore, what I understand as fast is not fast at all, and my eldest brother gave me a thorough point at once.
Therefore, if we have a lot of urgent matters, you have to solve them. Do you want to cut things? Do you want to add someone? But I can tell you very seriously that cutting things is more efficient than adding people, because the most difficult thing in this world is to find a suitable person, whether it is to find a partner, or to find a person in charge, this matter is too difficult. However, if you cut everything first, let go of everything in your hands first, it will be an efficient operation for you.
Urgent things are not important things, and other decisions need to be made on top of urgent things, so that there are fewer urgent things, which is the important thing, do you agree? You have to go to the next dimension to think about the problem, so every day is very anxious, every day is very busy, how many things around me are in a hurry to ruin popularity.
If you want to stabilize the company, the company should occupy about 20% of the urgency.
So what's the big deal? It's a big deal about life and death, and it's a big deal about money, but I don't think there's a big deal in the business, why? If you are very serious and focused on dealing with slow things, and do slow things well, do you believe that there will be no big deals?
Therefore, I would like to tell you book lovers that the best of the good things is the miscellaneous things, what are the miscellaneous things? It's the little things that you take seriously, standardize, repeat, and can replicate.
Until now, I still have a habit of going to the warehouse to inspect the goods. Warehouse management is a very good position to handle chores, they have standards to do in every link, and each link has standards to follow, at this time you will find that there is no major thing in the warehouse.
There are often urgent things in the company because you don't understand the chores, and if you do all the chores clearly, there will be no urgency in your company. Therefore, every time you are in a hurry, you have to think about what kind of chores you are not doing well. What miscellaneous thing did not be done clearly, which led to an emergency?
What a boss has to deal with is not urgent, but chores, and what a boss has to deal with is not a big thing, but a slow matter.
Slow things are those things that require long-term investment and continuous accumulation. For example, brand building, corporate culture, talent training, etc.
These things don't have immediate results, but they are critical to the long-term growth of your business. A boss must know how to take a long-term view, not be confused by the immediate rush for quick success, but calm down and do these slow things.
To do chores well is to have a standardized and repeatable work attitude. Whether it is warehouse management, financial management, personnel management, or business processes, service processes, it is necessary to formulate clear processes and standards, so that every link has rules to follow and is well documented. In this way, not only can you improve your work efficiency, but you can also reduce the error rate and avoid rushing problems.
To survive difficult things is to have a spirit of perseverance. On the road to entrepreneurship, there will always be various difficulties and challenges. A boss must have firm belief and perseverance, constantly encourage himself and his team, and never give in or give up in the face of difficulties. Only in this way can the enterprise stand tall in the wind and rain.
To be quiet is to have the ability to think calmly and make decisions. In the face of a complex and changeable business environment, a boss should keep a cool head, not be swayed by emotions, and not be disturbed by the outside world. We must learn to look at problems from a long-term perspective and not be confused by immediate benefits. Only in this way can you make the right decisions and achieve great things.
A successful boss has to deal with chores and slow things; Have a standardized and repeatable work attitude; Have a spirit of perseverance; It is also necessary to have the ability to think calmly and make decisions. Only in this way can enterprises be invincible in the highly competitive market.
