Doing Your Business

About the Book

Doing Your Business is a comprehensive guide that provides step-by-step directions for owning a business. It uses the personal approach to solving the many problems that can confront owners as they travel along the road of satisfying market demands and operational efficiency. It emphasizes that all business owners are not experienced in the techniques of supervision or the skills of management. As such, this nature is shared by many small “Mom and Pop” stores, Dot.coms, light industries, or service entities. Through its pages, readers will find guidance about when consultants should be hired and when the owner may do his or her own consulting to save the costs of outsourcing. Griffith cuts through the maze of getting equipment for a business and reveals how shortcuts may be made to encourage employee participation in finding better ways of doing business. Also discussed are procedures, and many of the prime policies are listed for their inclusion within a company policy manual. Lastly, an outline is given on how an owner may personally rate the business and how he or she may get feedback from the customers. Richly layered and informative, Doing Your Business talks about how to organize any business and how to measure progress while looking at employee needs and training.

About the Author

Mr. Griffith is twice retired – first from a career of thirty-six years with the federal government and second from a self-employment career in business consulting. His last duty station in federal service was Washington, D.C., where he retired in 1987 at the position of management analyst for the Naval Sea Systems Command. Then he started a consulting business north of Atlanta, Georgia, providing services for over another decade. After his last retirement, he has directed his time toward helping charitable organizations and, more recently, freelance writing. He is new to the field of book authorship, but he has prepared this guide for a very wide audience.
