The Theory of constraints (TOC) was originally written about by a chap called E Goldratt, who proposed that :
"any manageable system is limited in achieving more of its goal by a very small number of constraints, and that there is always at least one constraint"
... which can be rectified through the use of Five Focused Steps
We All Fall Down
Friend and Author Russ King tackled the TOC in his book "We All Fall Down" which relates to Beth's story and experience in the National Health Service (NHS)
"By using a business process called the (TOC) Beth manages to get her colleagues on her side and together they find not only the core problem of health systems worldwide, but they also discover how to free up 10 to 30% of the hospital beds without significant investment."
A really great book and a good example of how even the NHS can benefit from the Five Focused Steps. View at - Russ King's Website
Your Constraints
Now, if you are like me, a work from home mum and solo entrepreneur, you can bet your bottom dollar that you have a few constraints of your own that are holding you back from achieving even greater business success.
It's ok knowing that you have constraints, and its ok knowing that you need to do some constraint busting in order to overcome them. But first you really need to ensure that you have clearly identified what your constraints actually are.
...and this is where most of us come unstuck.
You can easily mis-identify your constraints and start constraint busting in the wrong places.
More time, more effort and still no breakthrough achievements!
hmmm... sound familiar?
Constraint Busting Partner
Constraint busting on your own is certainly doable, if a slower route to success, and if you can identify your constraints properly, and you have the patience to work through your constraints at your own pace, one step at a time.
However, If you really want to bust through your constraints more quickly so that you can achieve much more sooner than you can working alone, then you will want to grasp the rare opportunity to have Rich personally rework your business with you from the inside out.
