Are you running the business or is it running you?
TAKE CONTROL BEFORE YOU LOSE CONTROL
Once you have delegated authority to others and have set aside the time you need each week to “work on” your business, you need to decide what to focus on.
Ever wish you had more time? We all have before — whether we’ve been up against a tight deadline or were thinking about spending extra time with someone. And o en, we wish we had more time to spend a er it’s too late.
When faced with this, the conclusion that many people come to is that they just need to do a better job at time management.
Well, I’m about to break that bubble. e truth is that you cannot manage time! It will continue to march forward at the same, steady pace that it always has — and always will. You have absolutely no power or control over it. e only thing that you have power or control over when it comes to time is what you do with it. So while you cannot manage time, you can — and must — manage yourself. is is especially true when running a business. You probably have heard some version of “You need to work more on your business, as opposed to just in your business.” at sounds good. But as you already know, that’s hard to do.
Sometimes we have great plans and ideas to move our business forward. However, before we know it, we are caught up in our “everyday” and in the minutiae of the business — only to realize that our ideas never came to life. And even if you tried, it simply “got lost.”
When this happens, you must realize that you are no longer running your business. Instead, the business is running you. is is a prescription for disaster.
Sometimes when this happens, your business may still be performing well nancially. is gives you even more of an excuse as to why it is OK to allow those great ideas to vanish.
“We’re knocking it out of the park right now and can barely keep up. We’re in a great place!” we tell ourselves.
Well, to quote Will Rogers, “Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” is may be the most prophetic statement ever made when it comes to business. e reality is that it’s very easy to let stagnation happen. You have a lot going on in your business. ere are moments when it may seem that you are juggling more balls than you can handle. You have questions coming at you from employees
and customers. You have issues to deal with regarding inventory, equipment, vehicles and people. At times, it can seem that you are simply trying to keep your head above water.
But here is the bigger issue. Until you learn to better handle this, it will never change. You will be stuck in this perpetual loop — the never-ending whirlpool of stuff. is is why I mentioned earlier that you must learn to better manage yourself. It starts with personal accountability. Just as you would hold an employee accountable for doing their job, you must do the same for yourself.
As an owner or manager, part of your job is to lead the business to success, both for today and into the future. Today is what it is. But the future is completely dependent on your willingness and ability to plan, forecast, adjust and change.
With this in mind, the rst thing you need to do is hold yourself accountable for setting time aside every week to look at — and plan for — the future. It does not have to be several days at a time. Perhaps you set aside one morning each week to spend a few hours “working on” your business. is means that you are not to be pulled away from this task. Your team must know that this is a time when you are unavailable. Only a serious emergency can peel you away.
Because daily business does not stop, you need to have delegated certain authority and tasks to others in your business in order to accomplish this. is seems to be the biggest obstacle for many business owners.
Too o en, leaders feel that only they can do it properly or that they are the only ones who can handle certain situations. is becomes a self-ful lling prophecy. You must develop others so they can take on tasks that you primarily handle. is will take time and there will be mistakes along the way, but it will be worth it. I have o en said that the best leaders are the ones who don’t have to be there because they have developed others to carry forward in their absence.
Once you have delegated authority to others and have set aside the time you need each week to “work on” your business, you need to decide what to focus on. Allow yourself to be critical of your business. Look at what is working well and where you have opportunities to improve. Be honest with yourself. Realize that “good” can be a limiter to becoming “great.”
Maybe your business is doing OK in a speci c area, but you know there is an opportunity to be better. Do not be afraid to admit this. In fact, recognize that your future success is dependent on these types of improvements.
Now that you have identified and listed out your opportunities, you need to prioritize that list. I like to use this analogy: “You can only eat an elephant one bite at a time. Just make sure the rst bite tastes so good that you want to go back for more.”
In other words, go a er the things that will have the biggest and best e ect on your business rst. Go through your list and rank items or ideas based on their value to the business. Put your most critical items rst. en list those things that are still important, but not as critical at the moment. Finally, add the items that you feel you need to do, but not before you have implemented the other items.
You cannot do everything at once, so start with just a few items at the top of the list. Focus on two or three that you can drive e ectively. If you try any more than that, you will likely not get any done as you will become overwhelmed. You may not think that will happen, but remember — you still have the rest of your business to run.
As you look to develop plans, make sure they are doable. I once worked with an executive who told me that he based his plans according to three key criteria, which I still remember and use to this day. Whatever you do, he said, make sure your plan is “realistic, sustainable and executable.”
If it is not realistic, you are wasting your time. If it is not something that can be sustained, it will not create long-term value. If you do not have the ability to execute the plan, it is simply a dream. Once your plan ts all three of those criteria, you are ready to put it in place.
Make sure your plans are clear and detailed in what you want to accomplish and exactly how you are going to do it. When any of these are unclear, you run the risk of the people in your business interpreting your plans di erently and acting upon them differently. Do not leave any doubt as to what everyone’s role is. Meet with your team and outline everything to everyone. is ensures that not only do individuals know what they should be doing, but they know what others are doing, as well. is creates layers of accountability that can help lead to success.
Once your plan is launched, you must report back to everyone regularly on how they are performing. It will likely be a struggle at the beginning, because any change o en is. Even if things start o well, if le alone, people will o en fall back into old habits or ways of doing things. You need them to develop new habits. And this takes time — o en at least three months of constant focus.
That is why you must continue to evaluate and report on progress regularly. You must keep this top of mind with your team, as well, if you want them to do so.
Once you have taken the time to build and execute solid plans to improve your business, you will see results. Additionally, you will also feel that you have more control over where your business is going and you will feel more confident in your ability to steer it to where you want it to go. is all starts and ends with you holding yourself accountable. If you let yourself get washed away in the everyday tides of business, you will eventually drown. Do not let this happen.
Only by forcing yourself to step away regularly from the “day-to-day” — to focus and develop plans to improve your business — will you achieve the levels of success that you want. is is a non-negotiable that you must do for yourself and your business. ■

Growth opportunities
FOUR TIPS FOR MULTI-STORE OPERATORS
By Dennis McCarron
There are many types of independent tire dealerships throughout North America. There’s “Big Busy,” which is a giant store with a giant daily car count. “Big Slow” is in the same enormous building as “Big Busy,” but has a smaller car count. en there’s “Small Busy,” which is just a roller coaster ride of a ton of cars, with half being worked on outdoors because there’s just no room inside. And of course, you have “Small Slow,” which is a threebay operation with single-digit car count.
All of these types can be pretty interesting when they are owned by the same person — a multi-store operator (MSO.)
It’s easy for an MSO to wonder why one outlet always seems busy, while another seems dead. (And you can’t assume that “Big Busy” is the store that makes the most pro t. at’s not always the case.)
Let’s look at things a MSO can do to improve his or her business:
Build your teams strategically. First and foremost, if you own more than two stores, I hope you have gured out that you cannot be in three places at once. When you owned two stores, maybe you were able to manage this feat. But three stores? It’s not happening.
MSOs must learn to step back and remember that they are not in the tire business anymore. ey are in the people business. e people they manage are in the tire business.
Let’s say you’ve mastered the art of delegation by either hiring strong people around you or hiring a middle manager. Congratulations! at’s a very big step. If you have ve stores or more, you will need to do both.
Let me know if this sounds familiar. Your first store made a lot of money and you were happy. You thought you could double your money by buying a second store. But all you did was double your headaches and split your profits in half. You doubled your employee problems, property problems and customer problems. at’s because you tried to divide and conquer. You took your awesome team in one store and robbed them of half the talent to ll your second store. Instead of building your second store’s talent from scratch, you broke the mojo of the rst store and created two new teams that now need to gure out how to work together.
You don’t have to do that again. It’s OK to build a solid salesperson up to an assistant manager, promoting that person out when the time is right. Just don’t do it all at once. If you build a new store, build a new team. It will take a year or so to nd the right crew, but don’t destroy what you have developed in the rst team.
Homogenize your point-of-sale systems — pronto. Don’t wait to let the dust settle. If you acquired a store that uses a di erent point-ofsale system, get a matching set as quickly as possible. Yes, this will cause some tension in the store that has to give up the point-of-sale system they love — and sometimes love to hate — but it’s a great opportunity to build some credit in the bank by o -setting it with something they like, such as LED lights in the store or a new break room table — whatever was on the team’s wish list when you bought the store. (You did have a meeting to ask for their input, right?)
Hire a dedicated HR person or a third-party that can handle HR for you. With two stores and roughly 15 to 20 employees, you can handle hiring, onboarding, termination, other disciplinary actions and some employee disputes. With three stores, this becomes someone else’s full-time job. ere are too many rules, laws and pitfalls for you, as an owner, to try to gure out
what’s right, what’s wrong and what’s legal. If you do hire an HR professional, make sure they have several years in that eld and are certi ed. You don’t always need to pay out for a top-of-the-line person. You need someone who is functional and willing to stay current.
Sharpen your marketing. Aunt Julie’s kid’s friend who is getting a marketing degree might be ne for a single-store location that needs someone to keep Facebook and Instagram popping daily. A multi-location business needs to step it up a little and have coordinated marketing programs and campaigns.
And finally, here’s some extra advice for you, the owner. Once you grow to three stores, you’re going to feel like employees fall into three categories: superstars, strong bench and seat warmers.
Don’t be that owner who spends too much time on the bench warmers. Focus on getting the strong bench to become your next-generation superstars. Don’t ignore the superstars. Ask for their help in growing your bench. And don’t worry about the seat warmers. They will likely be just that and will hop from team to team. And that’s OK. ■
