Lesson 8

     This week’s biggest lesson was on consistency from the book E-Myth Revised.  I remember when I read the book before that that was one of the biggest lessons I had learned and how important it is to have consistency in every aspect of my business.  And the best and practically only way to ensure consistency is to have system in placed that is automatic or depends little upon a human to work.  Having an automatic system that produces consistency will always allow a customer to receive predictable, god service.  This is why McDonald's is the same everywhere in the United State, you know that if you go to New York or Oregon, it will be the same and that is what we as humans want.  By giving my customers in my personal business as well as my $100 Challenge business I will ensure that my customers are happy because they will get the same results every time.

     This week we finalized the logo for our Facebook, craigslist and Etsy websites.  I thought this was done last week but I changed it because my artist came up with a better Logo.  I was planning on buying the stationary at Michael's, 50 cards for around four dollars, but they changed the type of cards they sell, so I had to purchase two packs of 25 and with a coupon it came out to be around ten dollars. Like they say, three times as long and three times the cost; I am literally living that part right now in my getting my $100 Challenge business up and running.  This also is being applied to my personal business, I was planning on having it done at the beginning of April and I barely just published my website. The great thing about my business is that I do have at least one customer lined up to buy some thank you cards because he recently had a birthday and needs to write thank you to a few family members and friends; hopefully he will have bought some by the end of the week, fingers tied.
