John Seiffer
Over 30 years of business insight in one place.
Yes, I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 30 years and a coach/consultant to others for nearly as long. In my semi-retirement I guess it’s time I did something else. So I’m putting all that stuff here in a (mostly) organized fashion for free.
I still do some coaching and consulting – sign up for a free session HERE and if we like each other and want to keep working together, I’ll see if there’s room in my schedule. Otherwise…
5 Focuses, 1 Business
CEO Skills:
Running the whole thing
The skills that come with being in charge. Mindset, time, delegation, and picking KPIs that keep people honest, and "CEO" here means whoever sits at the top, title aside.
Customers:
Getting & keeping customers
The reason you have a business at all. How you find people who'll pay you, and how you deliver something worth paying for.
Company:
Building & running the company
The machine behind the sales. People, money, structure, and the systems that keep it running without you holding it all together.
Conditions:
Your business environment
The stuff you don't control but have to plan around. Markets, competitors, regulation, technology, the economy.
Owners:
Vision, planning & growth
Set direction, make the big calls, grow the company to give the owners what they want from it. Your vision for the company unfolds from that.
