The Honey Bee

What if your business operated like a honey bee colony?

To make one pound of honey, honey bees must gather nectar from nearly 2 million flowers, which they bring back to the hive. This is what allows them to survive, and thrive.

How is this possible? Let’s look at some very strategic and purposeful efforts by the Honey Bee Team…

• Each bee has a role throughout their lifecycle, evolving with time and experience.

• Each action they perform has a clear purpose, leveraging the tools and technology (in this case, their wings to dry out nectar until it becomes honey, and building a natural jar to store the honey during winter when there are no blooming flowers to feed from).

• This species of bee doesn’t hibernate, rather they remain actively focused on their work all year.

• They have trust in one another, working together to stay warm by clustering together during the cold days of winter.

How does this relate to you?

• Strong businesses have big goals, and a strong team builds a strong business.

• Clear roles and responsibilities ensure efficiency and engagement, and allow for future development and advancement.

• Leveraging tools and technology to execute creates scale and purposeful action.

• There is consistent effort and focus on the business, driving toward those goals.

• The team has confidence and trust in one another, foundational to a thriving business.

Do you have a plan and vision to reach 2 million flowers? Is your business running efficiently with a team that is committed and engaged?

This is a great time as we are heading into the end of the year to bring focus on what will make you wildly successful. If ignored, it will instead continue to create the stress that keeps you up at night.

Be the honey bee…
