Growth Secrets of America’s Strongest Car Company

From the desk of Roy Furr, Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Did you know if you choose a skill or process, and improve it just 1% every week, in just 70 weeks (about 16 months) you’ll be twice as good at it then as you are today.

It doesn’t take much to improve a skill or process 1% in a week. And through the power of compounding (what makes a little investment grow HUGE through time) your skills grow quickly.

This works for playing piano. This works for marketing and copywriting. This works for business processes. This works for manufacturing. It works in any skill or process you can imagine!

Toyota is the perfect embodiment of this process. Check out this article about how they constantly refine their manufacturing process. If you ask me, it’s why they’re one of the — if not THE — strongest car companies in America right now.

If you do the same in your business, you’ll experience incredible results (it’s not just for manufacturing — the same principles apply in marketing, product creation, customer service, etc.).

Continuous improvement is serious business. It’s how you get — and stay — ahead of your competitors. It’s something worth starting right now.

How can you improve an important aspect of your business 1% this week? How about next? And the week after that?

Good luck!
