Welcome back to our twice monthly newsletter…. Recently, my 22-year old dryer died and I had to buy a new one. In my typical manner, I did some research and found a mid-priced dryer that I thought would meet my needs. It has so many more features that the dead dryer lacked. Those extra features sure have made drying clothes easier for me. Please understand, the last dryer worked perfectly fine, but now that I see what this new one will do, I am pleased with the end-result, and it is much more efficient and effective at doing its job.

It struck me as I began to enjoy my new purchase that having the right tools and resources is very instrumental in equipping us to get a job done.

We often do not realize how ineffective we are until we find a better solution. We struggle along doing what we do. We waste valuable time doing it the same way that we have done it for years. We do not take advantage of tools and resources that are available to us because we do not realize that there is a better way available to us.

This new dryer is a great example of not considering how the introduction of a better tool to do a daily task can make one’s life easier. There are a multitude of daily tasks that we must perform where we often do not consider how using a new tool (in my case, a new dryer) can increase effectiveness.

I believe My COO Resources can be valuable for Business Owners. It provides you with a resource and tool you do not even know exists and equips you to do more than you can imagine.

By taking four short (and free) assessments, My COO Resources will identify for you the operational issues that are causing the greatest challenges for your Company. Once you upgrade your membership, it will walk you step-by-step through solving those identified operational issues.

It is a resource you probably do not know you need… yet, like my new dryer, it will provide improvements you had not even considered.

For our newsletter friends, we are offering a free month when you upgrade. Once you take the Simple Start Assessments, use this code to upgrade for a free month: 1M4233

Welcome to My COO Resources’ emails. We recently launched an on-line, interactive tool, taking the knowledge and expertise Aldridge Kerr has offered to medium and large firms, and customized it to meet the needs of smaller Companies. Aldridge Kerr continues to offer consulting services to our Clients; however, My COO Resources now provides an alternative and affordable tool for Companies who prefer a do-it-yourself approach.

You are receiving this email because of our trusted relationship. Twice monthly, I will be sending an email with insights, thoughts, and helpful hints; I hope you enjoy them. Here is our first email:

On Monday, April 3rd, both the Final Four and the Texas Rangers’ Opening Day occurred. This caused some angst for die-hard sports fans who love both basketball and baseball. In fact, this has caused some debate as to whether this could be better managed by either the NBA or the MLB.

For fans that did not attend either event, it was easier to decide what game to watch. And with the wonder of a remote control, flipping between the two could be (somewhat) managed. For those very lucky fans that had an opportunity to go to one or the other, they had to give up seeing both. Those fans had to decide what their priorities were and whether there was a greater love for baseball or basketball.

Choosing what to do when there are multiple priorities to consider can be a real challenge. It is easier when several can be simultaneously addressed. But when we must choose between several options, decisions have to be made on those that are the biggest priority.

Do you have a clear and concise method for identifying what is most important within your Company? If you must be like the fan that amazingly had the opportunity to attend either the Final Four or the Rangers’ Opening Day, do you know what activities within your Company would be the biggest priorities?

My COO Resources has a solution that helps a Company to identify those processes most critical to its ongoing success. It walks the User through the identification and the prioritization of the tasks (processes) within your Company. This helps when tough decisions have to be made on what processes take precedent over others. In fact, we think it is so important to understanding those critical processes, that it is the first solution that Users take when they upgrade their membership to begin to address those issues that were identified while taking the Simple Start Assessments.

Do you want to determine what processes are most critical within your Company? Get started at www.mycooresources.com and use this interactive, self-paced tool to identify and then address your operational issues.
