1. $2mil in revenue – add retail channels, build more solid online sales, recruit 2 new pay for performance sales people, forge alliances with 5+ companies with complementary products for bi-directional web sales.
2. Weekends off – train up team to be self-managed, delegate more to office manager.
3. Cut costs by 20% – work new terms with existing or find new manufacturing sources, streamline internal processes with an online self serve helpdesk, use SOPs across all departments.

Example 4: Jane is an intrapreneur, and entrepreneur in a large corporation. She is super frustrated by the bureaucracy and feels she can’t get much done. Sales are flat and she is sitting on some unfinished products, and her team isn’t engaged either. Her 30 day needle movers are:

1. Develop a product path for 3 complementary offerings and present to management.
2. Teach staff how to use needle movers, create contest for executing needle movers each month, with dinner out for 2 as reward.
3. Increase use of SOPs for all common tasks, have SOP contest for who can spend least time doing repetitive tasks. Winner gets to spend 3+ hours each week on new product development.

See how key it is to have specific and measurable needle movers? And see how you can have annual, quarterly, monthly needle movers? This is what EVERY ONE OF US should be doing.  Whether we’re an entrepreneur, an intrapreneur or the CEO of the biggest biz on the planet.  There’s just no way to focus on the revenue-generating success points unless we first DEFINE them and then clear away everything else.
