To illustrate the exponential power created by making proactive business improvements, consider if you were to enhance just one small aspect of your operations every day for 5 years—you would have over 1500 improvements. Presumably, some of those tweaks to your business will be significantly profitable if you have stayed focused on the items that appear to offer the highest yield based on your studies and discussions, or the “lowest hanging fruit,” which can be readily converted to cash.
Conversely, if one of your competitors, who wants a more relaxed lifestyle, decides to improve one item merely every third day, at the end of 5 years, he will have just over 500 tweaks.
So with more than 1000 additional improvements to your business than your competitor, you will have much more profitable operations due to the many added efficiencies and opportunities. Remember, there is always a means to improve an already good product. Overall, everything in your company will be a work in progress, which means you always have additional opportunity to work on it and make more progress.
