Synopsis

Are you running your business—or is your business running your life?

If you remember to eat lunch, you do it while checking emails, hurrying to return to the assembly-line and work alongside employees to meet production quotas. Family time is scattered and short—there’s always a fire that needs you. The idea of vacation days? Forget about it.

When you became your own boss you had no idea of the stress and struggle you’d endure. If freedom is the opposite of what you have, it’s time to fire yourself and build a small business that thrives without you.

In That’s It, I’m Fired, CEO Jeff Finney shares the blueprint for developing every element of your company, from operations to project management, for optimal performance and growth so you can find freedom in your professional and personal life. With this tactical guide for the manufacturing entrepreneur, you’ll shift from operator to owner with valuable tools that enable you to work on your business—not simply in it.

You’ll discover:

• Three pillars of LEAN to improve processes and create more value for customers.
• Areas where you can automate for better efficiency that will help reach goals, grow your profit, and gain an edge on competition.
• Which duties and decisions you can delegate to employees, including choosing the right second-in-command.
• The 3 Ds of Directing Beyond Disaster, the strategy to create a crisis plan for the unexpected.
• Marketing that works without your leadership, through awareness of the organization, product, and customer.

Step back confidently, knowing that your company’s vision and customer loyalty will stay intact. Get That’s It, I’m Fired and find the freedom you deserve as a business owner.
