The Bottleneck Strategy For Success

By blogger on

The bottleneck strategy is a strategy used to maximize your success potential in achieving goals and in completing projects. It is a strategy for identifying where you should place your maximum focus and concentration in order to gain the best results.

Whether or not you achieve your goal, or complete your project, within the desired time frame will depend largely on how well you allocate your resources, including time. If you focus on the right tasks in the right order then, provided your time target is realistic, you can ensure that you will achieve your target on time.

The first step in the bottleneck strategy is to break your goal or project down into a complete list of elements.

Let’s say, for example, that you are starting a new retail business. We will assume that we have already done our market research and determined a strong market need for our target product. The elements of establishing the business may be; establish your product supply chain, find a suitable premises, furnish the premises, hire staff, generate a flow of potential customers, make sales, deliver the product, and provide an after sales support system.

The second step in the bottleneck strategy is to look at that list of elements and ask if there is one element that is crucial for success. This is an element upon which success most depends. It is the bottleneck because if this element is not functioning correctly then your business grinds to a halt.

To find that bottleneck start with two questions. Question 1 is; which elements are only required or possible after another element is completed?

In the example above delivery and after sales support are only required or possible after sales are made and making sales is only possible after you have potential customers. This implies that the only candidate for the bottleneck amongst this group of elements is generating a flow of potential customers.

Question 2 is; what elements could I replace with another strategy if really necessary?

In the example it may be possible, even if not desirable, to replace the staff element by starting as a one person show. It may be possible to replace the two premises elements by selling door to door or on the internet or from your garage (some of the world’s most successful companies started from a garage). That leaves us with establishing a product supply chain as a candidate for the bottleneck element.

In our example we now have two possible bottlenecks; a flow of potential customers, and a product supply chain. Now we have to decide which of these is the most crucial. This will vary depending on what our product is and how difficult it will be to find suppliers and potential customers.

Let’s assume we decide that product supply is the most important, then that becomes the bottleneck. Once it is achieved then flow of potential customers will become the bottleneck.

Now it is time for the third step in the bottleneck strategy; focusing our resources and energy on solving the bottleneck.

If we make solving the bottleneck our number one priority then we will maximize our success potential. We should allocate 80% of our time, resources and energy to this task and pursue the other tasks with the other 20%.

In our example we focus on establishing that supply chain and then once that is achieved we focus on establishing a flow of potential customers. Without these two elements being achieved everything else is pointless.

If we had not applied the bottleneck strategy we may well have done what the majority of new businesses do and concentrated on establishing and furnishing an appropriate premises. We may then find ourselves with an expensive premises to cash flow but no products to sell or customers to sell to.

Whenever you set a new goal, or a new project, apply the bottleneck strategy and you will get the best value for your time and resources and maximize the probability of your success.

Goal Setting – Secrets From Billionaire Bill Bartmann On Setting And Achieving Success

By blogger on

I just finished the videos series on Goal Setting by Bill Bartmann (Billionair Entrepreneur). I have just two words INSPIRATIONAL and AMAZING!!! Mr. Bartmann presented a straightforward 10-Step Process to Set Goals that I wanted to share with you. Goals are essential for any area in your life, whether you have personal goals, health goals, economic goals, career goals, company goals, and more. If you have not yet identified your targets or goals, you need to do so. If you dont, how do you know what you are trying to achieve AND more importantly, how do you measure your results???

So, here it is COPY THIS and more importantly, USE IT!

Step #1 Be sure it is YOUR own goal.
This is the most important phase. What is it that YOU want to achieve? This is about YOU!!

Step #2 Do not call it a goal; call it a PROMISE.
When you have set goals in the past, have you achieved them? Let’s not get caught up in the word “goal”… time for a change!. Think about this how often do you keep your PROMISES? According to a study by Harvard, people keep their PROMISES 98% of the time!!! (versus attaining goals goals are not achieve 70% of the time!!!).

Step #3 Clearly name your PROMISE.
What are you specifically trying to accomplish and achieve? How triumphant do you want to be? How can this be measured? BE SPECIFIC. For example, I will be making $20,000 a week by December 31, 2010.. This is precise and calculable.

Step #4 Use the tools around you.
There are both positive and negative motivators around you. Use them!

Positive motivators are the people that you love and care for. Attain your PROMISE for them (and you)!

Negative motivators are those telling you that you CANT succeed in your business or you are crazy for trying to do so. Mr. Bartmann suggests writing the names of these people down on a 3×5 card and keep these cards in front of you, at your desk, in your purse, etc. This can be a daily motivational tool for your success.

Step #5 Develop a PROMISE PLAN.
By creating a BLUEPRINT, you will be well on your way to success. This is your business strategy and there are 6 critical pieces that will create this plan:
– WHAT are you going to do?
– WHEN will you achieve this?
– WHERE would you be when this is achieved? On a magazine cover??
– WHY do you want to do this? Is this for YOU? Or is this to show someone you can do it??
– WHO do you need in your life? Who will help?
– HOW can I execute the plan?

The HOW question is the most important but is the most difficult, as well. You cant know HOW right now. Things are going to change and the HOW may change. Keep a focus on WHAT and WHY and the HOW will evolve.

Step #6 Evaluate your PLAN and your PROMISE daily.
Bill Bartmann states to assess your PLAN and PROMISE 20 minutes per day. 20 minutes daily????? (are you serious) Honestly think about this.. Instead of watching TV for 20 minutes, review your PLAN and PROMISE. By evaluating your PLAN and your PROMISE repeatedly and consistently, you will realize how significant this is AND this will help to create original and creative ideas.

Step #7 Tell yourself you will succeed.
Your success is a derivative of your belief. Start listening to yourself; this is the only voice you should be listening to. Stop sending negative affirmations.

Step #8 Communicate your PROMISE to everyone.
There is nothing like being held liable Announce your PROMISE and let the positive and negative motivators to move you to accomplish your PROMISE. Make your PROMISE known. How is this for motivation?

Step #9 Imagine your outcome.
You have to see your success. You have to imagine your success. Quite often, we think of Bill Bartmann shared a story about Michael Jordan visualizing a free throw before he even shot the ball. To prove his point during a game, Michael Jordan shot a free throw with his eyes closed! He envisioned making the basket before it was even shot.

Step #10 START!!!
Guess what? This is the MOST IMPORTANT STEP! If you never start, you will never succeed and why even complete the previous 9 steps? You will make mistakes thats okay. Understand your mistakes and move on!

Here is to all your success!
