THE THREE LEVELS OF BUSINESS �Level ONE: one-man-band; working from home; the boss does EVERYTHING; 100 hour ‘working’ week & no off-days; etc. �Level TWO – largely a one-man-band; no real team to talk about; customers/clients; generating some sales, here & there; �Level THREE – business systems & financial & operating controls AND a team FACILITATOR: GABRIEL CHIPARA (MANTIS AFRICA) 7

GROWTH & THE THREE LEVELS �TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More �Having a TEAM in itself forms part of creating a BUSINESS SYSTEM based entity! The best way to build a L 3 business is to have great team members who consistently perform for you company �In a Level 1 ‘business’: nothing happens when the ‘boss’ is away (assuming s/he has employees) FACILITATOR: GABRIEL CHIPARA (MANTIS AFRICA) 8

GROWTH & THE THREE LEVELS Level 2 business: a bit better than Level 1 in most respects – one or two ‘employees’ but they still can’t do what the boss knows & does; working fewer hours; still no real distinction between personal and business bank account or budget; an unqualified & inexperienced spouse is still involved in the business; FACILITATOR: GABRIEL CHIPARA (MANTIS AFRICA) 9

GROWTH & THE THREE LEVELS Business growth can best be accelerated when you become a Level 3 business! ØSystems are in place & working as they should ØRepeat business – clients satisfied with initial order/request and the quality of service ØMore (knowledgeable & talented) people = TEAM can now synergise to maximise revenue growth ØWork gets done and results produced in the business owner’s absence, i. e. – your business will have eventually replaced you from it’s day-today operations!
