According to Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert Comic Strip, “Losers have goals. Winners have systems.”
When I first read that quote it struck me as kind of odd. I have set goals my whole entire adult life and from September-December I teach my clients how to set goals; and by no means am I or my clients losers.
Then I started to dissect what he was saying and he is absolutely correct. You see the definition of a goal is a dream or a wish with a timeline around it and appropriate action steps. The appropriate action steps are where systems come into play.
Here is a checklist of the systems that you should be running in your office. This list is not complete and is in no particular order; but it a list of the majors. If you do not have a system then create one. If you do have a system, evaluate it to make sure that it is still serving you.
