Just what the heck are they talking about?

To orient you a little bit in our approach to small business management, perhaps a brief explanation of our forthcoming book would be helpful, to make you more familiar with our “lingo”.

We developed Trucker Management to allow busy entrepreneurs to efficiently address both the small daily details and the long-term considerations of their businesses simultaneously. It establishes easy-to-implement routines and provides specific practical tools for use by the small business owner to “drive” their business towards success, similar to the long-established tools and proven practices used by truckers to drive their complex rigs towards their destinations through busy and unpredictable environments.

“Trucker Management”, both the book and the approach, consists of three main sections, each mirroring a tool or resource that truckers have available to help them reach their destinations.

The “Small Business Circle Check” ™ is the daily, objective physical inspection small business owners should undertake of their premises, both outside and inside, to monitor their maintenance and the ways in which they add value to the business overall.

Your “Small Business Dashboard” ™ consists of a number of gauges or instruments to better let you continually monitor the various human, competitive, financial and other aspects of your small business. Reading it regularly will keep you constantly informed about the state of your business and its components.

“Small Business Mechanics” ™ are the means through which you then actually implement action and undertake change, steering, accelerating or braking on your journey in business.

Hopefully these brief descriptions might help make future posts make sense!
