BusinessWISE

There are FOUR CATEGORIES of products.   Lack of knowledge of these four categories causes their neglect, and their neglect tells you all you need to know about any difficulties you are having with your business.  See if you can work out which ones are the trouble spots for you!

Crazy world right now, isn’t it?  Lockdowns, inflation, compromised media, crime, drug issues, environmental issues, a gloomy prospect on the economy with banks failing, and what’s next?   You!  You as a stable point of survival and expansion! You bulletproof, armed and armored with the know-how of prosperity and ethics in the face of whatever comes.   Here is one of the most fundamental lessons i...

Everyone is looking for it, but how many find it?   Happiness.   Maybe you think this is one you can skip.  Who needs a talk about happiness?   What’s that got to do with running my business better?  You’ll see.   This one isn’t just a game changer, it’s a life changer.

What would constitute the greatest gift you ever received?  I am sure you can think of many things.  What would you say if you were told that the greatest gift of them all has already been given to you? What would you say if you were told that this gift is sitting quietly on a shelf, within reach, and all you need to do is recognize and accept it?  That would be pretty good news, don’t you think? ...

We have covered L. Ron Hubbard’s ADMINISTRATIVE SCALE OF IMPORTANCES, the ADMIN SCALE, one of the most important and embracive tools in the Hubbard management system, thoroughly over 21 episodes.  It is time to conclude this series with a summary and some final words on the subject.

Here we are on the last level of the Admin Scale, a level that stands alone and is highly unique from the others, but is, of course, tightly related.  You can come all the way down the Admin Scale doing just beautifully and blow it entirely at VALUABLE FINAL PRODUCTS.  Find out why and how to avoid this by understanding fully its relationship to the other levels.

We now come to the final level of the LRH Admin Scale-  Valuable Final Products.  The word “product” is so important that the third episode in the history of BusinessWISE was devoted to its definition, which most members actually have slightly wrong.  Maybe only slightly wrong, but wrong enough to wreck their business!  Before we publish a fresh episode on Valuable Final Products, you should revie...

There are no two levels of the Admin Scale more integral to each other than STATISTICS and IDEAL SCENES.  Wrongly work out a statistic for an activity and it will not only make your Ideal Scene almost impossible to attain, but it will also drive you in the opposite direction! No matter how far you have come with your own admin scale, you will be lost without the information in this episode.

There are a lot of wrong ways to manage.  Has anyone noticed this?  Look around and one can easily spot mismanagement on a small scale, like a family or small business, all the way to a huge scale like the governance of countries.  There is a right way to manage, and it's pretty simple.  Learn about it in this episode.  

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...
