BusinessWISE

We come to a level of the Admin Scale, IDEAL SCENES, that, amongst other things, has been made complex to serve those with vicious agendas.  You will learn about that.  In fact, it is a simple and beautiful level vital to one’s ability to analyze and correct one’s group or any part of a group; a family, a society, or even oneself.

We are continuing our series on L. Ron Hubbard’s discovery and delineation of the Admin Scale with our second episode on ORDERS.  However, we are also going to introduce you to a word that is not broadly known even amongst those quite familiar with the Hubbard management system, but it is a concept that is just as critical to your success as more familiar terms like “statistics” and “org boards”. ...

Is there a technology for issuing an order?  Really?  You mean there is more to it than just cutting loose when you feel like it and getting sulking looks and non-compliance in return, or cheerful, blank “Yessir’s” that don’t result in anything, or “compliances” to what was ordered that are not what was asked for?   Yes, there is something to this subject.  We counted up twelve points from Mr. Hub...

The thing you want, let’s presume, is a bright, lively, smooth-running team with initiative shining and production flowing.  What you don’t want is a dull group with a “squad mentality” with everyone waiting for orders.   ORDERS is probably the most USED level of the ADMIN SCALE and possibly the LEAST understood.

Learning is not just about listening, it’s about applying.   To apply successfully, one must practice.  Welcome to the first episode of its kind in BusinessWISE, and may well be a first in podcasting history.  This is a critical episode in learning to USE programs and projects to achieve your goals.   Let us know how you do with it.  We are very interested.  If it’s a hit, we will do more like thi...

You have come a long way if you have come this far in your study of the ADMIN SCALE.  If you have been applying what you are learning, it is certain that your life is improving and your prosperity increasing.   But you will still step into a tangle if you don’t understand what a PROJECT is, how it relates to the rest of the scale, and how to use it to achieve your goals.

We are entering a new year.  Many of you will take this opportunity to make resolutions, but many will not keep them.  There’s no reason you shouldn’t, but you must understand that a resolution is fundamentally an idea.  If you can master the IDEA, you can master ALL.  Listen to this episode and start mastering the IDEA.  

We interrupt our series on the Administrative Scale of Importances to bring you a special episode of BusinessWISE to impart to you not only a seasonally appropriate message but what L. Ron Hubbard has defined as possibly the greatest secret in this universe.  Feel free to leave us your comments and your own holiday message, and may the light of love and truth grace your days during this special ti...

We have been covering PROGRAMMING, the fifth level of the admin scale, over the past three episodes, but there is no way we can move on from programming without covering these 6 vital points.  While we have PLANNING in the title, this is actually our last episode on PROGRAMS and should put it all together for you. Don’t skip this one!

Programs.  Members sometimes look upon them with a touch of disdain.  So orderly!  So disciplined!   Sounds like a lot of work!   Do I really need programs? Not really, if you want your business, your career, or your life to be a meandering mess and your goals only vaguely achieved, I wouldn’t bother with programs.  On the other hand, if you are serious about attaining your goals and making your d...

Programming is the bridge between planning and action.  You can dream, you can plan, but if things don’t get laid out in detail and step by step, the indefinite quality of what you are doing is going to lead to indefinite results.  So, know your programming!  We are going to do a couple more episodes on this subject, starting with these 12 rules.

With this next level of the ADMINISTRATIVE SCALE OF IMPORTANCE or Admin Scale we reach the threshold of ACTION and DOINGNESS.  Before we dig in on the level of PROGRAMS let’s make sure we have cleared up this vital subject of CAUSE; what it is in the context of the Admin Scale as well as a surefire technique to becoming MORE cause!

Once you have established GOALS, you know where you want to go.  Once you have established the PURPOSES you have the why’s and wherefores of the activities needed to get you there, and with POLICY you have set the workable guidelines.  But you still need to figure out how to get there!  If you don’t have that you don’t have much. You still need a roadmap, and that is your PLANNING, the fourth leve...

Let’s say you are a one-man band, or you are simply planning out your own career, or you have a small business with just a half-dozen employees.  Do you need such a “high-flown” concept as a STRATEGIC PLAN?  Isn’t that just for big corporations or governments? Nope.  If you have GOALS, if you have PURPOSES, you need a strategic plan if you want to get there, period!   But don’t get the idea you ne...

I guess one could say that “planning” is just something humans do, and everyone sort of instinctively knows or learns how to do it.  You think so?  Well, maybe everyone does it but judging from the number of failed plans around, I don’t know that they do it very well.  Don’t be one of the casualties!  Learn the basics of successful planning!

All episodes of BusinessWISE are intended to stand on their own, and this one is no exception.  Optimally, though, listen to Episode 43, Volume 3, our last week episode entitled POLICY V.S. COUNTER-POLICY, and then listen to this one.  But if your group is verging on the chaotic or just plain inefficient and disorganized, and there are a lot of dropped balls around, then this is the episode for yo...

Believe it or not, the joy, liveliness and productivity of your group stems from sound, authorized policy, and the source of insanity in your group stems from illegally set, random, counter-policy.  Sounds good, but as you read this, you might wonder what the heck we’re really talking about.   You are about to dig into one of the most important subjects in all of management, POLICY!

This is episode four of our series on L. Ron Hubbard’s phenomenal discovery and delineation of the ADMIN SCALE.  In the last episode, we discussed PURPOSES, but no discussion on that subject would be complete without describing and providing the solution for FAILED PURPOSES.  If you want to achieve anything worthwhile, you better learn how to deal with FAILED purposes, or you probably won’t get th...

This is our third episode on Mr. Hubbard’s ADMINISTRATIVE SCALE OF IMPORTANCES, and in this one we tackle the all-important subject of PURPOSES- CLARIFICATION OF.  This is a hidden factor that means the difference between success and failure for any of your executives or employees, and even for your entire organization.  Don’t underestimate it!

This is our second episode on the ADMIN SCALE.  We start with the first in sequence and the MOST IMPORTANT level of the scale; the level of goals and goal making.   This point is make or break as far as your dreams are concerned.  It’s the difference between you having a thriving, booming, expanding business and a game that is YOUR creation or being anchored to what may have started as a dream but...

No topic has been more requested than an episode on L. Ron Hubbard’s famous “Administrative Scale of Importances”, or “Admin Scale” for short.   I can’t blame you for that, one could almost describe it as the backbone of the Hubbard management system!   But it is a pretty big subject, so we are going to have to cover it in sections.  Here is Part One!

If you have been listening to BusinessWISE, you are probably aware that we put a lot of emphasis on the definition of terms.   One term you better fully understand is the word “entrepreneur”, especially if you are or are trying to be one.  You’re about to discover that there is more to this than you thought.  In this episode you will learn Mr. Hubbard’s thoughts on the entrepreneur, and how they a...

Income is of intense interest to most members, isn’t it?   So much so that those BusinessWISE episodes that focus on income we make sure to designate as INCOME BOOSTERS so you can easily dig them out of the archives.  This week’s episode is certainly an income booster, and one could almost describe it as a vital one that underlies all others.  Give it a listen and you will find out why.

Every now and again we are forced to speak to you in expletives.  I’m sorry, there is just no way around this one.  We have chosen this celebration of Labor Day to discuss a critical subject using language that at the very least can be counted on to get a few disapproving looks.   Too bad.  In for a penny, in for a pound, we like to say around here.  Let’s see how you do with it!

This is the episode l wish we didn’t have to do, but we do.   If you are going to build and administer an organization, or many organizations, if you are going to lead in any quarter of society, or if you just want to get along in life, you better know about the criminal mind.  Listen to this episode as though your life depends on it, because it might.
