The Automated Wisdom of Bill Gates

The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency. - Bill Gates
Last week we had a quote that wasn’t actually Bill Gates fronting this blog, so this week we have the real deal. We here at CMAEON are big fans of Bill Gates. After all, he’s not just a tech visionary; he’s also become one of the most generous people in the world and has given away over $28 billion dollars of his own money. (So, if you’re going to listen to words of wisdom from anyone, we think Bill Gates is a pretty good place to start!)
This particular quote speaks deeply to the philosophy behind our flagship product, 1to1Real, and what we try to help entrepreneurs do with the Connected Market Coach program.
We designed 1to1Real to help companies and entrepreneurs take all the work they needed to do, put it into one place, increase their efficiency and start automating their work. Real businesses and entrepreneurs wear many hats, juggle multiple priorities and have too much on their plates. The problem we found was productivity solutions and CRM were too linear and only did a small portion of the job. Any efficiency expert will tell you that using multiple programs with overlapping functionalities to get the job done isn’t the right approach – efficiency is about streamlining and simplifying the process as much as possible. That’s where 1to1Real comes in. First you streamline and create an efficient operation and then you automate it.
Taking that advice and applying it to practical, hands on lessons that anyone could use was the genesis of the Connected Market Coach. It’s all very well to tell people to simplify, but sometimes people don’t want to go it alone. Entrepreneurs were constantly approaching Tim asking him for his guidance and advice on matters of technology and thus the Connected Market Coach was born.
The philosophy of creating an efficient operation (and efficiently using technology) is the whole foundation of the Connected Market Coach. From the Four Pillars Method to the 7 Step Connection Ladder, the Connected Market Coach program gives you the information and the tools to discover the most efficient way to run your business, and then break those processes down into simple, standardized, repeatable processes that can be automated to save you time, brainpower and headaches.
