I'm walking you through how to build simple, repeatable systems that actually help you grow, without making it your full-time job. If you've ever said, “I know I need systems, but who has time?”—this one's for you.Key topics covered:What SOPs really are—and what they aren'tHow to create effective systems in just 3 minutes using the tools you already haveWhy messy, imperfect SOPs are better than perfect ones that never get usedTips for building a culture where your team creates and owns the systems tooWhether you're onboarding clients, posting content, or running payroll—this episode gives you a clear roadmap to make systems your secret weapon (without the overwhelm). Let's get your time back and start building a business that runs without you in the weeds.ChallengeA simple action step: pick one task you do regularly that you're ready to delegate.

This week, we're calling out the reality of what it takes to have the week we truly want. Are you tired of feeling like a victim of Monday? Without the proper preparation and routines in place, it's easy to get trapped in the cycle of dreading the work week and just waiting for the weekend to come around. In this episode, we're sharing how to create routines you actually want to show up for, how to make your week feel way less heavy, and how to start trusting yourself to build a life you're excited about — not just surviving through. It's time to stop barely making it through the week. It's time to take back your time, take control of your Monday, and build momentum that makes every day enjoyable. Key Takeaways:Momentum isn't optional — it's how you take control of your week.The first push matters. Stop waiting, start moving.Fun isn't a luxury — it's the fuel for real productivity.Self-trust isn't “nice to have” — it's non-negotiable if you want a life that lights you up.Systems don't make you rigid — they give you the freedom to actually live.How you show up Monday sets the whole damn tone. Own it.Rest and self-care aren't breaks from progress — they are progress.You can pick up the rock of responsibility anytime — the question is, will you?If you hate your tasks, make them fun — your mindset depends on it.Living for Friday? You're robbing yourself of 5/7 of your life.

James Misner is committed to building systems that create lasting impact. Growing up near Philadelphia in the 1990s, he was struck by his community's negative attitudes toward refugees from the Balkans and Rwanda. This led him to study political science, work in resettlement, and dedicate his career to helping nonprofits secure the resources they need to drive change. After roles in refugee resettlement at Wheaton Bible Church and McLean Bible Church, he spent a decade at World Relief as Senior Vice President of Strategic Engagement, leading partnerships and revenue strategy. Now, as Founder and CEO of The Kipos Group, he helps small and mid-sized nonprofits overcome fundraising barriers and grow sustainably. In this conversation, we explore his journey—from hands-on refugee work to rethinking nonprofit fundraising—beginning in the neighborhood where it all started.

Snag Our Simplified Budget System! This week, we dive into real-life stories of entrepreneurs and business owners navigating the tricky intersection of personal and business finances. From a law firm struggling with employee accountability to a property manager juggling the demands of short-term rentals, these lessons will inspire and challenge you to take a fresh look at how you manage money in your business. Lesson #1: Leadership in Business Matters More Than You ThinkOne law firm owner learned that “good enough” isn't good enough when it comes to employees. Shana and Vanessa helped him reimagine his business with KPIs, bonuses, and expectations, transforming a stagnant office into an opportunity for real growth. Lesson #2: Are You a Business Owner or a Technician?Sometimes the leap from being excellent at your craft to running a business isn't as seamless as expected. We explore the challenges of wearing both hats—and why not everyone has to own a business to be financially successful. Lesson #3: The Airbnb Hustle Is RealWhile short-term rentals might look glamorous, they come with unexpected challenges. One client considered switching to long-term rentals but discovered they weren't financially ready. Shana and Vanessa share why running the numbers first—and setting up systems—is crucial for avoiding costly mistakes. Lesson #4: Systems Save the DayA property manager with eight rentals (plus homeschooling, a medical diagnosis in the family, and multiple moves this year) credits automatic systems for keeping her finances on track during chaotic times. The takeaway? Set it and forget it systems can be lifesavers when life gets messy. 4 Ways To Connect With Us: 1️⃣ FREE CALL: Book your FREE 20-Minute Financial Coaching Call now!

This episode is the fourth in a series of four episodes that I want to share with you as a lead up to my 50K VA Group Coaching program that is launching in the next couple of weeks. Today I want to talk about creating systems to scale your VA business. Having strong systems in place helps to make sure that your business runs smoothly and that when you are ready to scale, you are able to. Effective systems are the backbone of business growth, and will help you stay in business a very long time! Being able to scale your VA business whenever you want means being able to bring in new clients whenever you want, make more money whenever you want, take time off when you want, or travel, or make a big purchase, you get the picture. Scaling is the way you grow, and it's much easier to get yourself set up for growth than you think. A report by Small Business Trends says that 66% of small businesses that do not adopt automation and advanced digital systems as part of their productivity, fail to do so because of ineffective systems and a lack of proper organization. Think about it - we offer our clients organization, time management, productivity, and efficiency - but many of us don't do it for ourselves... for our own VA businesses. You have to treat your business just like your clients' businesses. It's important, it needs structure and strategy. And it needs systems. When you are organized and efficient, you can handle new clients easily. you can invest in training or support when you need it. We weren't meant to do everything ourselves. Even thought we are solopreneurs as VAs, there are things that others are better at than we are. There are things that others should be doing, instead of us. Again, it's all the same stuff we tell our clients. Some things are out of our area of expertise - and yet we struggle through them. VAs tell me every day that they are learning to build their own website, learning how to do FB ads, learning how to use every CRM system out there in case a client needs them to know it. We need to be able to identify when it's important for us to learn or do something in our VA business, and when it's more efficient or just smarter to outsource it Today we are going to talk about the importance of systems in your VA business growth.

In today's episode of the podcast, I chat with family photographer and host of the This Cant Be That Hard podcast, Annemie Tonken about developing essential systems in your photography business to ensure efficiency, client satisfaction, and growth. Learn how strategic planning can transform your operational approach for the better.The Big Ideas:Embrace Systemization: Treat your photography business like a well-oiled machine. You'll save time and avoid stress.Audit Your Processes: Regularly checking your current processes teaches you where improvements can be made for smoother operations.Focus on Fulfillment: Perfect your fulfillment system first; this ensures your client's last interaction with you is memorable and professional.Use Tools Wisely: Leveraging tools like CRMs can drastically improve your workflow and client management.Photography Action Plan:Audit Your Current Workflow: Review each step in your current process from handling initial client inquiries to final delivery of photos. Identify any bottlenecks or repetitive tasks that slow you down. Document your findings in a simple spreadsheet or flowchart. This will give you a clear visual representation of where you can begin implementing improvements.Set Up Basic Systems for Marketing, Sales, and Fulfillment: Implement a CRM tool to manage client communications and keep track of sales leads. This step is crucial for maintaining organized client interactions. Create a checklist for each project phase. This ensures that nothing is missed and each client receives consistent, high-quality service.Automate Repetitive Tasks: Identify tasks that are repetitive and time-consuming, such as appointment scheduling, email responses, or social media posts. Find tools that can help automate these processes. Start small, perhaps with automating appointment confirmations or thank-you emails, and gradually expand as you become comfortable with the technology.Focus on Client Experience: Map out your ideal client journey from first contact to post-delivery follow-up. Think about how you want your clients to feel at each stage. Solicit feedback from recent clients to understand what they loved about working with you and areas where you might improve the experience.Educate Yourself Continuously: Enroll in online courses or workshops that focus not only on photography techniques but also on business practices specific to photography. Seek out resources that offer practical advice on systematizing your business, such as free video lessons or worksheets that help you develop efficient workflows.Resources:Annemie's systems audit resource - https://www.thiscantbethathard.com/bppLearn What Camera Settings to Use in our free guide!https://perfectcamerasettings.com/ Build Your Dream Photography Business and Keep More of the Money You Earn with CloudSpot Studio.And get my Wedding and Portrait Contract and Questionnaires, at no cost!Sign up now at http://deliverphotos.com/Connect with the Beginner Photography Podcast!
