What we check before we book
Cashflow notes belong beside the marketing plan. A pretty brand with late supplier payments still stalls. We nudge owners to list the three invoices that hurt most and the dates they land. Simple, slightly uncomfortable, effective.
Supplier shortlists work when each row names the real lead time, the MOQ, and who answers the phone after three. Fancy catalogues without those three fields waste a Monday. Ask for a sample invoice layout before you connect carts.
Observatory mornings and Sandton afternoons treat the same ops pack differently. Note which supplier owns which ritual. Return unused sample units labelled by lot so the next picker does not mix grades. Carrier cut-offs should sit on the same sheet as your pick wave times.
Training time should be booked like a paying job. Put it on the calendar with a start and end. Open-ended YouTube evenings rarely finish the module that matters. Keep a paper fault log next to the till for the first month.
Starter kits work when the checklist names the next human action, not a vague aspiration. We write steps a tired founder can follow after a long delivery day. Keep copies of supplier emails in one folder named by week. Future you will not remember which WhatsApp thread held the VAT number.
