Why do some small businesses succeed while others fail?

That is the question one young entrepreneur faces in this illuminating business parable for our times. Loops reveals the soul-searching story of Tony, a business student who doesn’t understand why he can’t quit school and work in the family business.

Then his professor surprises him with an unusual final exam—a twelve-week, summer-long study of the small businesses in his local area. This simple real-world assignment opens Tony’s eyes to the most important lessons an entrepreneur can learn, such as how to:
Manage “experience zones”
Build strong customer
relations through “vision moments”
Standardize key processes for employees
Innovate, improve, and maintain quality
Accomplish real results by “closing the loops”

As you follow Tony’s journey, you’ll receive a week-by-week crash course on the seven essential loops for small business. You will learn how to distinguish yourself from the competition, improve your operations, and close the loops. Best of all, you’ll discover innovative ways to apply the loops concept to every challenge you face, with every endeavor, in any economy.

When you close the loops, you open the door—to limitless opportunities.

Loop Four: Standardize Every Process
Loop Five: Innovate Constantly
Loop Six: Live in the Real World
Loop Seven: Lead by Example

Legendary small business consultant Mike Chaet and bestselling Fish! coauthor Stephen Lundin combine years of hands-on experience with a refreshingly simple concept that goes straight to the heart of successful entrepreneurship.

Relating the personal journey of a young man entering the world of small business, the authors explain how to close the seven essential loops that really matter— the commitments that build trust, the innovations that improve service, and the day-to-day routines that deliver real results.
