#17 Introducing systems and process to give your business more structure, with Brad Flowers from Bullhorn Creative - a podcast by Jon Darke
from 2016-10-16T18:30
This week Jon is joined by Brad Flowers from BullHorn Creative - a brand & communication strategy agency in Kentucky USA. Brad and his fellow directors have been making changes to how they run their business, inspired by meeting folks at peer groups and studying business books. This inspiration has helped provide them with a more solid foundation for growth and stability. In this episode Jon and Brad go over this experience, and share how anyone else can do the same.
In this episode they cover
Focus on working more on your business than in your business.
Adapting and assigning roles to individuals as you grow.
Having accurate data to be able to make informed business decisions.
Understanding your core values of your business - why you exist.
Using peer groups to share experiences and learn from others locally.
