but, tested and proven ways of doing things, no matter how boring they may be...produce profits. Everybody jumped on the "systems" band wagon...either the 4 hour guy, or the purple cow guy or the Work the System guy (names left off on purpose, I know who they are)...
but, I've yet to read any book that lays out all the systems a business needs like Ben laid them out in 7 Steps. Yea, it's boring to read about the 72 steps in a product assembly system...but...
Good for you for referring to the "manual" on using systems to build a business.

If you want to know how a franchise businesses works read Ben's book. Even though he isn't writing about franchise prototype businesses, you can easily make the connection.
If you are not into setting up a business to be self sustaining through a series of systems, don't read this book. You will be bored out of your mind.
I've actually read all 600+ pages all the way through 4 times, but referred back to specific sections hundreds of times.
Ben may come across paranoid but in all reality he's no different than Ray Kroc was with McDonald's.
Net Profit Generation System is something to really study, but the more I've read the book the more I'm convinced that it is the foundation and any system built must refer back to the foundation to keep the business self sustaining.
