Can I Master My Business Like a Rembrandt?

The definition of Mastery

Have you ever asked yourself? Can I Master My Business like an expert?

According to Dictionary.com, Mastery is defined as

“A comprehensive knowledge or skill in a subject or accomplishment.” 

Rembrandt is known as a great Master of art. He is one of a few notable artists who have ever achieved that status based on quality and quantity.

Rembrandt is also considered a Master because he taught, mentored and transformed artforms for all.

Many of us consider ourselves proficient in many areas. In addition, some claim to be experts. Mastery requires a high understanding of any discipline and takes time to acquire.

We can master business skills with intensive focus. Here, Success.com identifies ten key activities to achieve mastery.

1. Determine the skill you want to master.
2. Set specific stretch goals on your path to developing that skill.
3. Attach a high level of emotion to your journey.
4. Identify the factors critical to success and develop your strengths in those areas.
5. Develop visualisations that clearly show what success and failure look like.
6. Schedule challenging practices developed by experts.
7. Measure your progress and get outside feedback.
8. Socialise your learning by practicing or competing with others.
9. Continually set higher goals so you keep improving.
10. Teach others what you are learning.

Mastery

The first level of business success as Mastery. Without a command or a full understanding of these key areas, business owners will fail to reach their full potential.

• Destination
• Money
• Time
• Delivery

Destination Mastery

Here focus is on establishing a powerful mission and vision for a business. Setting S.M.A.R.T. goals will achieve objectives. But, understanding WHY a business exists and WHY one is driven to success is key. Also, at this level business owners need to be clear on their vision and mission. We then move to Money Mastery.

• Cash Management
• Financing and Lending
• Terms and Invoicing
• Accounts Payables/Receivables
• Financial Statements
• Pricing Strategies and Discounting
• Cost Controls and Cost Reduction
• Overhead Reduction and Resource Reallocation
• Sales Forecasting and Revenue Maximisation

 

Most business owners will employ expertise in these business areas. But remember, it is critical that owners themselves understand every area that affects business results.

Time Mastery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the roadmap for your business destination and money mastery are underway, we then shift your focus to Time Mastery.

At this level, an owner must focus on planning and delegating. Self-education and development are also key areas to commit to for long-term success.

Delivery Mastery

Last, but certainly not least, is Delivery Mastery.

As a Business owner, you must ask,

“How can my business deliver on our brand product or service promise?”

Everything from supply lines, delivery services to customer experience must be analysed. This ensures that the focus is on maximising satisfaction and how easy you make it for customers to buy from you. These are all inherent in this level of mastery.

All level’s of Mastery require study, research, and practice. But, to truly call yourself a business master you must also be able to share and educate others. It is through the sharing of your expertise that you can call yourself a master.
