Hone your Process

Learn how to operate lean and mean before you hit your stride. If you haven’t already, get efficiencies and processes in place and create SOPs so anyone can jump in and pick things up. 

• What are your biggest business pain points?

• Are you tracking waste? How can you reduce this?

• Where are the bottlenecks, and how can you revise the process to alleviate these?
