David and Mike Andes explain how to make a business sellable by building systems that work without you. They call W2 staffing a band-aid for weak processes, and say the real test is whether your business runs for two to three weeks while you're gone. Most fail because they skip training, procedures, and documented SOPs.
Going to W2 is like a forcing function for control. Yeah. Like we can have all control. Like they have to do what we say. It's also a band aid sometimes for bad systems. Gotcha. Because we don't have systems in place right now to know what a good cleaning is like, we don't have training systems in place to make sure they're actually doing it the way that Instant Cleans does.
It in any business. Even if you're not trying to sell the business next two or three years like David is, it's a really good idea to build the business as if you're going to sell it. I say this built to leave build the business in a way that it could actually handle you leaving the business for two or three weeks right now. If David was gone for two or three weeks, if his mom was gone for two or three weeks,. The business would fall apart because there are no systems, there is no training, there is no procedures, there's no standard operating procedures for people to follow if they're not there.
