If time is money (as the saying goes), then automation and outsourcing should be your two best friends. On the other hand, what often sets us apart in our small businesses are our personal touches and customer service, so many photographers (understandably) struggle to find a balance between personalization and profitability.Longtime listeners know that I'm a big fan of automating my workflow and outsourcing work where possible, but I balance that with personal touches that my ideal customers appreciate. Today I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own photography business to share exactly what I outsource and automate, and why. Then, I'll help you find a formula for figuring out what you can streamline in your business without sacrificing the things that make your business special.

OVERVIEW: “Efficiency is doing better what is already being done.” – Peter Drucker Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the importance of systems and processes. In business, every single second of every single team member counts, so in this episode, Jason teaches us how to streamline workflows and maximize efficiency and productivity through automation, software, and A.I. tools. Tune in until the end to learn more about Jason's book! 3 KEY POINTS: Document every step of your team's tasks or job functions. Use software tools to lessen the risk of human errors. Build systems and processes while your business is still small or has yet to start. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: All businesses run on a series of workflows, wherein much of what our team members or we do is repetitive. In today's episode, Jason runs us through his repetitive workflow when producing and publishing his podcast as an example. Jason learned some of his workflow efficiency strategies from Richard Winters, part of his Mastermind Group and a previous guest on this podcast. Document every step of your or your team's tasks or job functions. A summary of Jason's workflow is that he records his podcast episodes and uploads the individual audio and video files on Google Drive to pass on to his podcast team. The team then has its own workflow with multiple steps from editing to publishing. All the individual steps in these processes require multiple clicks and much time. We can optimize any workflow by reducing repetitive tasks to a minimum. To help streamline his business processes, Jason ensures he's always up-to-date with the latest software and technology and utilizes whatever is most beneficial. Jason used to record his Podcast with his Rodecaster Pro and transfer the files to his desktop afterward. To make things easier, he now records on Riverside.fm and pairs it with Zapier to automatically upload his recordings to Google Drive and notify his team. The Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast uses Libsyn as its hosting platform. One of Libsyn's great features is connecting to Jason's website on WordPress, wherein published episodes will automatically be uploaded to Jason's page. Jason and his team use software and A.I. tools for various purposes: Recording Editing, Project Management, Password Management, and many more. Software tools not only improve efficiency. They help reduce human errors. A Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P.) is a step-by-step list of instructions for doing something in your business. Start utilizing S.O.P.s, software tools, and automation strategies while your business is small. Once your business grows and is at max capacity, it'll be difficult to build these systems. A benefit of having S.O.P.s is it makes turnovers easier, as all the tasks new people need to be trained on are all located in the same place. TWEETABLE QUOTES: "Anytime a human is involved in anything, there's a chance of making errors. Software tools and automation help make workflow less error-prone." – Jason A. Duprat "Build your systems and processes while your business is still small or before you even start your practice. It's hard to focus on this when your business has grown to at almost max capacity." – Jason A.

As an entrepreneur, it's important to not only focus on building a profitable business but also to consider the potential for a future exit. In this blog post, we'll discuss some key factors that appeal to buyers and how you can increase your potential multiple for exit. We'll also take a look at the "Exit DNA" course by Mac Lackey, which offers valuable insights into the exit process.

This requires looking years out and considering the types of businesses that would be interested in acquiring your company. For example, if you're in the e-commerce space, you might be looking to sell to private equity or strategic acquirers. Assessing TAM & Competitor Position Investors always look at TAM (Total Addressable Market) with an eye towards growth opportunities. Consider the level of competition in your niche and whether there is an opportunity for you to take market share. Is there a private equity or strategic acquirer in the niche? If so, building towards a market-leading position in that niche could make your business more appealing to buyers. Why Start in the USA? Starting a business in the USA offers a significant advantage due to the large population of 350 million people, with 50% of e-commerce sales happening on Amazon. This provides a vast TAM to penetrate and build market share. While other markets like Australia may offer less competition, the smaller population makes it harder to achieve meaningful scale. Maximizing Multiples To increase your potential multiple for exit, it's essential to have a clear distinction between getting ready for exit and maximizing your multiples. This requires identifying areas of the business that are critical to the multiple, such as SOPs, training videos, and documentation. Automating and delegating to people who are better than you are at certain tasks is also crucial. Building Relationships with Suppliers Building strong relationships with suppliers is also essential to building a sellable business. Aggregators and other buyers are interested in businesses that are operationally sound and can continue to grow even without the founder's involvement. Having clear SOPs, training videos, and documentation helps ensure that acquirers can understand how the business works and can integrate it into their operations. Inventory Planning and Budgeting Inventory planning and budgeting are also critical to building a sellable business.

Having a strategy behind your sales funnel is crucial to ensure that your marketing efforts are effective and efficient. However, many companies don't have a sales funnel in place, which means they are missing out on opportunities to generate leads, nurture prospects, and convert them into customers. Today, Jordan discusses automating the four funnel archetypes.

Lisa coaches leaders on simplifying sales and business meetings with fun and interesting 3-word topics to create a conversation and inspire your sales team. Maximize Time and Focus on Making Money! As the clocks spring forward, I have a few recommendations to maximize your time and focus. As the saying goes, Time is money! You have limited Time to make sales as a salesperson, so finding ways to maximize your Time and focus on money-making activities is essential. Before I share tips on how to maximize your Time each day, I wanted to spend some time focusing on you. How do you feel about yourself? Because I can list all the tips to save you Time and help you be more productive throughout the day. But the day starts with how you feel—the direction and actions you will take. It could be the most critical TIME in your day. I highly recommend that you start your day with this morning routine. It will help you set your mindset for the day before diving into your business activities. Let's look at the word TIME. The goal is to schedule 3-15 minutes a day for you! Begin by walking through this process. Thankful - Think about something you are grateful for today, not just a general topic. Not generic that anyone can be grateful for, but specific to you. I am thankful for the blue sky; my family is too generic. Trying to be more precise, I am grateful that I can talk to my mom every Morning, my sisters, that I spend Time running my fur kids, and my conversations each Morning with the love of my life, Olivia. Insight - Learn something new and gain new insights. You can perhaps listen to your favorite Podcasts or audiobooks or read something that will inspire you. Meditation - Our days have multiple deadlines and timelines. So we must find better ways to slow the mind. Meditations like Walking and breathing-focused movement can help. For more examples https://mindworks.org/blog/different-types-meditation-technique/ Exercise - Everyone needs to keep moving. Take your fur kids for a walk or Play with your kid's in the yard. Incorporate scheduled Time to go for a 5–15-minute walk. Make it fun and something you look forward to. Now let's shift gears to tips to help you save Time and be more productive. Set Goals and Objectives Setting specific daily goals and objectives is the best way to maximize your Time. It helps keep you focused and ensures you are accomplishing things that will help you reach your goal of making more money. It also helps ensure you are not wasting valuable Time on activities that don't contribute directly to earning more money. Make sure your goals are realistic and measurable so that you can track your progress. Organize Your Day Organizing your day is vital to maximizing your Time and focusing on money-making activities. It means developing a plan for how to use all the available hours in the day, including when you start work, take breaks, have client meetings, etc. A focused strategy will help keep you focused and lets you stay on top of tasks without getting overwhelmed or side-tracked. It also ensures that all your energy is devoted to the most critical tasks first. Utilize Technology Utilizing technology is another excellent way to maximize your time as a salesperson by automating processes or freeing up more daily hours so you can spend more face time with your clients. Automating emails or scheduling meetings can save valuable minutes throughout the day, which you can spend doing other money-making activities. For example, using customer relationship management software can help streamline lead tracking. Get Grammarly, a software tool to ensure your emails have the right tone, clarity, proper grammar and punctuation, and spelling. How can AI help your sales? The increased insights and flexibility AI generates allow sellers to tailor messaging and proposals and implement account-based marketing and account-based selling. In addition to helping you sell more, thoughtfully applied AI can help move customer relationships to a higher level. AI tools like Chatgpt, Jasper AI, and HubSpot are great tools to save Time. Your Time is money! Time is our most valuable tool, especially for salespeople with limited daily hours, to generate revenue for their companies and themselves. I hope these tips can help you maximize your Time to focus on money-making activities such as prospecting for new customers, closing deals, or following up with existing clients. Time is money, so use yours wisely! If you have the Time, could you do me a favor?

So… Are you going out on your own? If you are starting up or planning to start up your firm this podcast is for you. Being a solo- practitioner is where we all start. It can be a scary move, but it is well worthwhile! When you're starting your firm, you want to be focused on getting clients in the door so that you can have a healthy cash flow and climb to the next level. Automating as much as possible is essential and starting with the right practice management software helps you with that. Let me go into more detail about what is happening with the practice management landscape, especially here in Australia. Just recently, in one of our masterclasses at the Scalable Business Lounge, we invited a software practice management systems guru to speak to us about all the options on the market. Having someone who knows an awful lot about these practice management software products, what they do and what they don't do which ones are good for what types of firms, sizes, and practice areas were invaluable to all the lawyers in the group. In my law firm, we have had the same software platform since 2009; we haven't always been happy with it. So I tried to move to a new platform, but that journey is so overwhelming and difficult that I am stuck with this ridiculous lock-in contract I learned later that you could negotiate terms that don't involve lock-in contracts. Now we have a further option in Australia with Clio now a player. Last year I went to the Clio conference in Nashville and learnt that I love everything about this company and product. What I love about this product that sets them apart and why I'm so excited! No lock-in contract and the user fee is affordable Clio Manage - standard legal software management system Clio Grow, this add-on allows you to manage your front-end marketing (intake form, calendar, email marketing) inside your software. Everything integrates into CLIO…so you are able to streamline your law firm in a way that no other practice management software can. If you want to learn more about what practice management system is right for your firm, join the SCALABLE BUSINESS LOUNGE SBL is specifically for law firms that are from the start-up stage to a team of five employees. What Happens in the SBL We are working on working on who your ideal target clients How to implement 3 pronged marketing approach across three different funnels Test your marketing using data collection Cash flow and predictability, and systemising enable you to up-level your firm. We also offer: Masterclass every single month that is relevant to how to run your business One-on-one coaching calls on what not to do so you don't have to waste time and money Hot Seats we talk about your issue so you won't have to be alone in this journey.

Do you run live webinars and promote them through your email marketing? Have you ever thought about switching to automated webinars? Oh, the possibilities...You see - one of our members, Brad Brown, went from running two live webinars a week to an automated one. And here he shared the story of how he made $90k in the process. He not only increased his sales and profits but also smashed his ad spend and freed up his time to grow his business in different ways. What's not to love here? Ready to hear exactly what Brad did (and what you can do in your business)? SOME EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: (0:19) Join our FREE Facebook Group.(4:23) When did Brad start using email marketing in his business?(9:11) What were the biggest barriers to email marketing?(10:24) Why did Brad join The League?(12:55) Switching to automated webinars.(18:16) Implementing other email campaigns.(20:34) The ONE action with the most impact.(22:28) What's next for Brad and email marketing? (23:14) Has email marketing taken over Brad's life?(25:26) Subject line of the week.When did Brad start using email marketing in his business?Brad and his business partner run an online coaching business where they help people become the best runners they can be - no matter whether they're new to running or they're professional athletes. When they first started, Brad and his business partner would travel around South Africa helping the organisers of a famous running race, and ten years or so ago, they ended up setting up a business together. Like many, they started with one-on-one coaching, but in order to leverage their time, they eventually built a training platform that connects with all the main running apps and created a community of engaged runners around the world. So when did they start with email marketing? Quite early on. Brad had a lead magnet that he used to grow his email list. From selling digital training plans that would be emailed out to runners, he built an online platform in late 2018 where he's been relying on email regularly and consistently. What were the biggest barriers to email marketing? Brad believes that, at first, he struggled with messaging. They were creating a lot of content (YouTube, podcast, etc.) and that felt a bit like bombarding their audience. They had no real strategy around selling through email marketing, and as a result, they dabbled with different promotions or webinars to find something that worked. Emails would all be live (broadcast and not automated) at that point and mainly around the YouTube videos that were published every week. The barrier was that nothing was selling on an ongoing basis. Why did Brad join The League?Before Brad joined The League, their business was purely event-based, which means they helped people train for events and marathons. But when Covid hit, people stopped training, and that brought the business to a halt. So Brad and his partner started looking at what they could do to grow while people couldn't train for events.While focusing on the over-50s as a niche, Brad and his partner decided to run a live webinar. That became so successful that over the following two years, they delivered a staggering 60 live webinars, with the aim to accommodate the most time zones possible.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Automating Consistency, published by Hoagy on February 17, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. tldr: Ask models to justify statements. Remove context, ask if statements are true/good. If not, penalise. Apply this again to the justifying statements. Status: Just a quick thought. Doubt this is a new idea but I don't think I've encountered it. Happy to delete if it's a duplicate. Mods: If you think this is closer to capability work than alignment work please remove. Background A failure of current LLMs is that after they've said something that's incorrect, they can then double down and spout nonsense to try and justify their past statements. (Exhibit A: Sydney Bing vs Avatar 2) We can suppress this by giving it poor ratings in RLHF, but perhaps we can do better by automating the process. Setup: We start with a standard RLHF context. We have an LLM which assigns probabilities to statements (can extract this from the logits of the tokens 'Yes' and 'No'). These can be propositions about the world, X, or about the relationship between propositions, X supports Y. To make it easier, we fine-tune or prompt to give these statements within a defined syntax. We also have a value model that evaluates sequences, on which the LLM is trained to perform well. Method: We prompt the model to make true statements {T} and then to provide logical or empirical support for these claims, {S}. We then remove the context and ask the model whether supporting statement Si is true. Separately we also ask whether, if true, Si would support Ti. If either of these conditions are not met, we add a strong negative penalty to the value model's evaluation of the original outputs. Train for higher value model scores while incorporating this penalty. Apply the same procedure each of the supporting statements Si Value Consistency: This could be combined with values-based fine-tuning by alternating logical consistency with asking it whether the output is consistent with the preferred values. This is similar to Anthropic's Constitutional AI but by combining it with the ability to recurse down the tree of justifications, it may be able to embed the values ore deeply in its behaviour. The recent genre of 'would you rather say slur X or kill Y people' represents the kind of failure I imagine this could help prevent. Thanks for listening.

Nathan Walter, founder of Briefpoint, joins Technically Legal to explain how his company is using technology and artificial intelligence to automate routine legal drafting tasks. A good portion of lawyers' time and those helping them is copying or re-using prior work. This is especially true in litigation and especially in discovery. Thankfully more and more apps have been developed that help automate the creation of legal documents. Historically, these programs have been form based and users populated documents by selecting choices from a menu. But with advances in generative AI maybe form based software is unneeded. That's what Briefpoint is banking on. Briefpoint uses tech to analyze legal documents, like interrogatories and document requests, and then generates preliminary responses to give legal teams a head start on drafting. As Nathan explains, if more legal processes are automated and augmented with AI, it will bring legal fees down and free up lawyers to focus on the complicated stuff rather than cutting and pasting prior work product.
In this episode, Marcus Edwardes speaks with Robin Choy, CEO of HireSweet, a talent acquisition platform built to empower outbound data-driven recruiting teams. He is the host of the A-Players podcast.Robin wrote an excellent guide for recruiters called The Definitive Guide to Sourcing in Recruiting (https://content.hiresweet.com/the-sourcing-guide/), which breaks down the process into four key steps: preparation, sourcing, contact, and closing.Listen in as Robin does a deep dive into all things sourcing as well as how ChatGPT can become a valuable tool for recruiters. He shares the importance of ascertaining your candidates' unique value proposition via the intake call, and thinking of outreach like a funnel.Robin gives his thoughts on finding the right balance between personalization and automation and what's working today (and what's no longer working) with regards to outreach.Finally, Robin explains how recruiters can best use ChatGPT as a powerful tool in their kit.What You'll Learn in This Episode:● [02:17] How to maximize your preparation as a recruiter● [07:59] Outreach best practices● [11:14] How to go about salary transparency● [16:58] Cold emailing versus InMail● [17:31] Considerations around personalization● [20:12] Automating connection requests and personalizing invites● [25:10] The importance of culture● [29:30] Crafting a great subject line● [33:57] The impact of ChatGPT in recruiting● [35:58] How to use HireSweetKey quotes:● “Preparation is key to productivity. If you don't look for the right person, you can be the best sourcer in the world and shortlist candidates, but they won't be the right fit for the hiring manager because you didn't spend enough time in the preparation phase.”● “If you send an email to someone, you should always send an invitation to connect as well.”● “ChatGPT won't replace recruiters. But recruiters who know how to use ChatGPT will replace recruiters that don't.”

In a perfect world, none of us would use credit cards. We would only use cash or debit cards to pay for things, and we wouldn't spend more than we can afford. While this is definitely an option, using credit cards is a necessity for many people. On this episode, I'm going to cover seven credit card rules to live by so you can utilize them responsibly and to their full potential. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Why you should always make your credit card payment [1:00] Automating your monthly credit card payment [3:21] Getting your annual fee waived [4:16] Lowering your APR [5:16] The benefits of keeping your credit accounts open [6:54] Increasing your limit for a better credit score [8:47] Taking advantage of your credit card's secret benefits [11:39] Understanding credit card basics The first and biggest rule for credit cards is that you have to pay them off regularly. Debt payment represents 35% of your credit score, and it's one of the single most important things you can do to improve it. Even committing to make the minimum payment every month goes a LONG way. Ignoring your credit card bill means asking for a lower credit score and a late fee. Even a single missed payment can drop your credit score by 100 points and raise interest as high as 30%. If you happen to miss your credit card payment, the best thing to do is call your credit card company, make the payment ASAP, and see if there is anything they can do for you. Sometimes they are willing to waive the late fee or forego reporting the mishap on your credit history if you catch it soon enough. One way to ensure you never miss a payment is to automate your credit card billing. This can be done by contacting your credit card company directly or taking advantage of the online payment services they may offer. That way, if you forget to pay during the holidays or while you're on vacation, you've at least made the minimum payment to avoid late fees and other credit consequences. Wait…I can do that with my credit card? One thing about the credit card industry that many people fail to realize is that it's customer service based. If you are using your credit cards responsibly, you may be able to reach out to your credit card company for additional perks, benefits, and services. Many credit cards charge an annual fee counterbalanced by its benefits, such as airline points or cash back. But if none of those benefits appeal to you, give your credit card company a call and see if they are willing to waive it. The same goes for lowering your annual interest rate. Threatening to leave a company you have a long and positive history with could open the door to a lower APR. Aside from the standard perks, there are many hidden benefits to owning a credit card. My favorite is that a lot of cards cover collision insurance when you rent a vehicle instead of paying for additional coverage through the rental company. I've even had to use this coverage with my credit card, and it worked out great! Another secret perk for some cards is that they carry trip cancellation insurance. Some credit card companies will cover change fees if your travel plans get shaken up. Listen to this episode for more insight on using credit cards well!

Sociologist Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra, a professor at University of California San Diego, talks about his book Automating Finance: Infrastructures, Engineers, and the Making of Electronic Markets with Peoples & Things host Lee Vinsel. The book traces the long, largely anonymous, and in some senses boring history of how experts applied computers to financial systems since the 1970s, creating a digital infrastructure of the trading world. The conversation also touches on Pardo-Guerra's more recent work on how systems of quantitative metrics have been applied to the management of universities and what might be done about it.

It's a really interesting model, because we hear attorneys say all the time that they need to systematize, but don't have the time to do that. Well, her company is tasked with doing just that. They come in, interview you, and go through the workflow. They then find out what needs improvement, they design how to do that, and then they implement the systems for you, including the training and the procedures and what have you. Taskly Group will help you set up your systems and, and provide training to your staff. And I think it's a really interesting model for those people who are busy tending to the legal needs of their practice and don't quite have the bandwidth to be able to do the necessary systemizations. I am really thrilled to have Shanice on the program, and I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. In this episode, Neil and Shanice discuss:Systems development and implementation. The three departments of every business. Building a system unique to your law firm. Growing to the next level. Key Takeaways:You need to define what is causing problems before you can figure out how to design a system to fix those problems. Communication is one of the biggest complaints from many law firm clients. Building a system for regular communication will allow the client to feel cared for. There are a lot of different tools that do similar things - pick one that will work for you. The systems can be built into and around that system. There are only a certain number of clients you can serve without having systems in place. "Systems are the key to success in business. It is the key to helping you produce a sustainable business with less stress, fewer errors, and happier clients." — Shanice Miller Get in touch with Shanice Miller:Website: https://tasklygroup.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100081770791413 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanicemiller/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tasklygroup_/ Get Shanice's FREE 3 Steps to Automating and Scaling here: https://tasklygroup.com/neil Thank you to our sponsors!Ruby Receptionist - Virtual receptionist & live call services that will help you grow your office (and save money), one call at a time - to learn more, go to http://ruby.com/ or call 844.311.7829The Net Profit CFO - Ryan Kimler works with attorneys who want to enjoy higher net profits without working longer or harder.

We are more likely to spend when we have money in our pockets. That's why automating the process of saving for retirement is a great way to achieve your financial goals. On this episode, I'm going to share five ways you can automate your retirement savings this year and stay on track for years to come. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Are you automatically saving? [1:29] Automated savings through an HSA [3:27] Using a Roth IRA for automated savings [5:58] Opening a high-yield savings account [7:39] Automating debt payments [10:58] Easy retirement savings automation The first and easiest way to automate saving for retirement is to set up and contribute to a work-sponsored retirement plan. If your company offers retirement options through a 401k, 403b, or 457 plan, chances are you're already taking advantage of this. But perhaps other financial priorities have kept you from signing up for one of these automated retirement savings plans? If that's the case, make sure you sign up for a retirement plan this year so you can receive the maximum match for your company. If you want to max out your 401k this year, my recommendation is to double-check the amounts you're set to contribute on an annual basis. The maximum contribution for a 401k in 2023 has increased to $22,500 if you're under 50. For those over 50, you can make an additional $7,500 catch-up contribution, bringing the maximum to $30,000. It's also a good time to review your investments and make sure you have an advantageous asset allocation. Going beyond the basics Do you have extra money just sitting in your regular bank account? Whether it's for emergencies or fun, it's time to check the interest you're accruing. Without even looking, I can tell you that it's probably almost zero. Banks make money by paying you little to no interest. So take matters into your own hands! One option is opening a high-yield savings account. You could also open a brokerage account by combining an investment and savings account. With interest rates rising, any of these options will give you a more competitive yield than a traditional bank account. Another great option for automatic retirement savings is through a Roth IRA. If opening a Roth IRA makes sense for your financial situation, you need to determine how much you want to contribute to your Roth account on a monthly or semi-monthly basis once it's set up. The annual contribution limit for 2023 has gone up to $6,500 for those under 50, and $7,500 for anyone older. If you want to make the maximum contribution, simply divide the amount that applies to you by 12 or 24 and set up automatic contributions in that amount. Listen to this episode for additional tips on automating your retirement savings and investments!
