Welcome 3to5Club Business Owners

Are you busy making money or are you focused on BUILDING A BUSINESS that makes money for you when you're not around?

How intentional are you about building a business that will do that? Do you have a date for when your business will be mature?

This is a club for business owners who have declared the maturity date of their business and are completely focused on building their business to get there. It's the only requirement of 3to5Club.

If you have a date (and preferably a time of day on that date) when you plan to have built your business to maturity and are willing to publish here, you can join this club.

7 Fundamental Organizing Principles of the 3to5Club.

1) Business Owners should be more focused on building a business that makes money than on making money.

2) A business owner focused on building a business that makes money will always create more wealth than a business owner focused on making money today.

3) The biggest reason we don't focus on building a business: we are ruled by the Tyranny of the Urgent and never get around to the Priority of the Important (building a business that makes money).

4) Every type of business can go from inception to maturity in 3 to 5 years, and under the best and worst of circumstances, 2 to 7 years. PICK A DATE & TIME - WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS MATURITY DATE?

5) Few people who bought or started a business are actually "business owners". There are seven stages to a business. In Stages 1-4, people who think they own a business have a business that owns them. 3 to 5 years to build a mature business is normal. 15-25+ years is average. 3to5Club members are normal, not average.

6) 3 to 5 years is normal, but is unlikely unless the business owner has two bosses in place:
Boss #1 - a 12 month revolving Strategic Plan (not a Business Plan) from which they run their business and make all critical decisions.
Boss #2 - an advisor or committed and intentional peer advisory group to provide objective clarity and support from outside the business.

7) Why and When are the two most important and least asked questions in business. 3to5Club members don't focus just on what they sell, where they sell it, who they sell it to, and how they make and sell it. 3to5Club members always attach why and when to what, where, who and how. WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS MATURITY DATE?

If you can't see picking a date when your business is mature, 3to5Club won't work for you. If you understand the value of getting a clock ticking in your head to help your business grow up, 3to5Club will be a great experience for you.
