When setting up a business chart, what do you do? Do you just step into the process blindly, or do you have a plan that saves you and your client time and money? This lecture features some key components leading to an optimum outcome. Like any other thing in life, you have to have a structure in which to work, fully aware that everything is never perfect. Georgia Stathis walks you through this process.

The process requires some careful forethought. For one, make the client work — they need to tell you the time frame in which they wish to work. Georgia has a questionnaire that she's designed for clients who want her to analyze their businesses, but you can easily change it to gather your client's ideas regarding when they wish to start. Secondly, doing this is important because it saves both your time and theirs, and their money as well (always a good selling point). Thirdly, it sets some of the responsibility on the client so that they have to work at it, rather than just sitting back.
