Awareness and Mastery: Two Essential Keys to Successful Small Business
Introduction
Mastery is practice. Mastery is staying on the path.
?" George Leonard, US Pioneer in Human Potential
Running a successful small business isn't about long training sessions or thick manuals. The key lies in two simple concepts: awareness and mastery. These principles can transform how your employees perform, just as they did with my sports team.
The Coach's Perspective
Managers often voice frustrations about unproductive employees. Similarly, youth sports coaches complain about kids not listening or trying hard enough. I can't relate, as the players on my team are focused and hardworking. The same is true for my business employees.
Why? I simplify their tasks into two core elements: awareness and mastery.
Encouraging Awareness
With my team, I emphasize awareness by asking them to be conscious of their surroundings?"knowing where the ball, teammates, and opponents are. This isn’t easy for ten-year-olds, but it’s critical.
Building Mastery
I assign homework to each player, asking them to find a spot on the court where they can consistently make a shot. It doesn't matter if it's close to the basket; what’s important is that they can make it repeatedly. As confidence grows, they move further out.
These simple concepts instill confidence in the players. They're aware of their positions, and they know they can make their shots. I don't need to direct them constantly, freeing them to focus on the game.
Applying to Business
As a business owner, I apply these principles in training my employees. From day one, I guide them on task expectations and customer treatment, urging them to master their responsibilities. Once tasks are mastered, they can improvise, much like my players.
When corrections are needed, it's usually because someone either lacks awareness of their duties or hasn’t mastered the task. By focusing on these areas, my team achieves remarkable results.
Success Stories
My first sports team lost only one game all season. In my business, employees rarely lose a sale, and our products often win awards. Both on the court and at work, people enjoy the straightforward structure, as reflected when a player chose practice over a professional game.
Employees arrive motivated, happy, and ready to work. Awareness and mastery truly are the keys to running a successful small business.
