How can you demonstrate your value or return on investment (ROI) as an operator? As an entrepreneur or service provider, you know that when you invest in something… you want to know what your return on investment (ROI) is. As someone who does a lot of hiring for entrepreneurs and small businesses, it is important to me as a hiring manager that they see a ROI. One thing that is very challenging is finding the ROI from an operations professional. There are two sides to every business: the front and the back. The front side is focused on marketing and sales activities such as finding leads, finding your audience, communicating to your audience and bringing them to you through marketing and visibility efforts. The back of the business is about operations. Operations looks at the infrastructure or foundation of a business, such as processes, systems, management, team management, and building teams. It is what is needed to fulfill the product that was marketed and sold. When I hire, it’s always my goal to guide the client to create 30-60-90 day goals (also called key results areas). This is so both parties are clear on expectations, for performance management reasons, as well as helping me to find tasks, responsibilities, and projects that bring a return. My goal is to have this resource bring a return to the business and “pay for themselves” within 90 days. Most people ONLY think of this in terms of ROI meaning hard dollars. That’s a great start, but after being in this space for many years and building teams, I’ve seen a return in many other ways. I also want you to know that marketing typically sees an ROI easily, whereas the operations side has a softer return and oftentimes is not financially solvent in 90 days. Because of this, I’ve gone to work to show the operators in my Director of Operations Certification Program (and now you) how you can show value in a variety of ways. I’ve shared this soapbox moment with you before but as service providers, regardless of front or back of house, we MUST quantify our value. It's not enough to trust that your leader sees your value or even knows what you’re doing. Reporting is massively overlooked and underperformed in the freelance, online, and service space. “If you SHOW your value on a regular basis, you become easy to pay, easy to retain, easy to promote and refer. You do this by reporting.” You may have to do a little data gathering but it’s 100% worth it. Today’s podcast is here to help you with two things: quantifying your value + identifying metrics you can use. I’ve got a method I am excited to introduce. It’s called the Return on TIES method. TIES stands for Time, Investment, Effort & Stress. T: Return on Time This is the amount of time you remove off of your leader’s calendar/desk. By bringing on an operator, the leader is going to shift some hours that they were recently spending in admin, meetings, research, to you. This leaves them more space and time. Every leader wants more time back, but what they plan to do with the extra time varies. They may want to work less hours, take more vacations or amplify what they’re doing with those hours that you now oversee. I believe CEOs are truly in their CEO role when they are focusing on content creation, product creation, strategy, sales, and networking. When their plate is full, they can’t do that. By bringing in an operator, they now can use their time on more strategic items. How to measure: This involves noting the number of hours the leader is working and what they’re spending time on. I recommend you do this at the beginning of the relationship and then 1 week a month. Ask them to track their hours and get a report or an understanding of how they spent those hours, or what they were working on. The hard part is getting a CEO to actually do this. Get creative! Ask the question “how many hours did you work last week and what did you accomplish” as part of your weekly or monthly meetings. It certainly won’t be as thorough but you’ll be able to see trends. You’ll know you’ve paid for yourself when: The leader is doing less admin and more strategy or visioning work. By doing this, the revenue of the business will increase because their time is available to focus on revenue generating activities rather than the minutia. I: Return on Investment This is when you make more than you spend. For example, when you buy a course on how to do Facebook ads. You invest $1K on the course but the product of the knowledge you’ll gain will bring you 4x that in a 4-week period. That’s a positive ROI. Some people will challenge themselves to get the fastest ROI and in this case you will track time. The same goes for expanding your team. Marketing and sales personnel are the easiest to see an ROI. For example, adding a funnel designer to design a funnel for $3K. You’ll know you get your ROI when the funnel exceeds $3K. It’s a little more difficult for the Operations focused labor. It can absolutely be done but it’s oftentimes a soft return vs. a hard return, meaning it’s not hard dollars. It’s often through savings of time and becoming more efficient. The return on those are soft, meaning that time in itself isn’t going to bring you cold hard cash but how you use the discretionary time can produce a return. How to measure: By sales and profit margins. It’s very important to chart your revenue, expenses, and profit against your presence in the business. How do those factors improve as a result of having you here? Look at the sales and profit margins, and compare before and after you showed up in the business. You’ll know you’ve paid for yourself when: Profit margins expand beyond your investment. If they are paying you $5K a month, make a point to celebrate with them when you see an additional $5K in sales or profit. It’s a collaborative effort but one you need to watch for. E: Return on Effort (Efficiency, Ease) This is how heavy or strenuous your business activities feel for you. When I hear people say “it’s too hard”, “want to quit”, or “burn it down”, it means they are at max effort. This is far from the optimal place of ease. It’s in this state that we focus on the small things rather than the vision, which is where passion and ease meet. To overcome the overwhelming feeling of effort, you can delegate tasks to others who enjoy performing that task, identify what you’re doing that’s out of your wheelhouse, look for opportunities of automation and leverage technology, or become aware of perfectionism and hire. Operators, this is your greatest gift to an organization! If we can make hard things easy, there’s a return on effort. We do this by showing up as strategic partners rather than limiting yourself to implementing… when you are creating processes, building and managing teams, leading meetings, managing projects. I know a business is ready for a DOO when they crave ease and efficiency. How to measure: Objectively, we measure by documenting profit margins. When they get wider, it is usually a reflection of business becoming easier. Subjectively, we can ask the leader to rate their satisfaction with their job as the CEO/leader. How are they enjoying it? You’ll know you’ve paid for yourself when: Profit increases as a byproduct of the efficiencies you have put in place and when the leader’s satisfaction improves. Another subliminal way is when the leader returns to their creative/passionate zone. You may see this with innovation, new product lines, or new business ideas. S: Return on Stress This is defined as improving your physical and mental health and quality of life as a result of sharing work or business responsibilities. It’s no secret that entrepreneurs and business leaders struggle with depression, anxiety and stress. This prevents them from optimal wellness and if they aren’t well, this bleeds into the business, the brand, the team, the vision, and the reputation. When a leader brings on an operator, they are no doubt looking to reduce stress. That stress can be physical, mental, or quality of life. How to measure: At this point I don’t know a way to measure this objectively but I know this matters SO MUCH. I recommend doing this by reaching out to the leader and the team and gathering their stress levels as it relates to physical, mental, and quality of life. This is probably best done with a survey tool so it can be anonymous and without judgement. Plot this each month and make notes of what key projects you all are working on in the business. Wouldn’t it be cool to show the impact of stress that launches or certain campaigns at specific times of year do to people? You’ll know you’ve paid for yourself when: The stress rating decreases by 20%+. All of these (TIES) result in greater stability, profit, and satisfaction but are not necessarily directly monetary. It’s important to look beyond the hard ROI. Leaders desire a return on time, investment, effort, and stress…and they can’t do this alone. They need operators to help them obtain this! Another reason why DOOs are so foundational for scaling businesses. As an operations leader, I want you to show your value to the business you're working in but I also want you to know how your gifts are blessing others. We don’t take the time to quantify it and I hope this podcast encourages you to begin charting this today. Weekly Ops Activity Make a move! Start something new with your existing clients. Introduce this concept to one client. Focus on stress and effort because they may not have thought about that. Ask them to rate their stress and effort levels, then track every single month. Show your value and earn your return! If you aren’t in a place where you have access to business financials but you know you have the leadership to guide businesses, I encourage you to consider the DOO certification. There are businesses that are scaling that know they can’t do this alone. They NEED DOOs to move forward with less stress, effort, and time. I would love for you to join us in our next round beginning in late November.

Welcome to The Whole Phil podcast, I am your host, Phil Reese, the DJ, that's my Facebook name, Really Phil Reese, that's my Twitter, Phillip J Reese, that's my Instagram, my dot com and my real life. Tweet me right now, hashtag #getyourwholephil and tell me about yourself. I am a loving, lovable, chubby, queer, sober, spiritual, vegetarian, feminist radical leftist web developer, and deejay in DC. This is the podcast where you get your whole Phil. I talk about whatever I want, with whomever I want, and do whatever I want, because there's no rules, no format, and no fucking censors. Let's start the show. Today is Sunday, May 3, and we're talking about what prayer is for the deityless. When most of us think of prayer, we think of worship of a deity. Getting down on a kneeler, making the sign of the cross and repeating a 2000 year old mantra. But can those of us who don’t have a deity pray too? I’ve talked before about what spirituality means to me, and how you can be spiritual without having a deity -- even atheists can work on their spiritual side. But how does prayer fit into that? If the essence of spirituality is the health of your higher mind, as opposed to advancing your rational mind through learning new things, then prayer are those things that advance your higher mind -- the part of you that deals with your personal morals, ethics, and your relationships with your immediate communities, your greater society and the universe or nature itself. Prayer is what you do internally to make sure you are on the path to becoming a better human being, and you don’t need a deity to do it. When you focus on yourself, when you are self-involved, when you are driven by your own id, when you lose sight of your positive goals, when you beat yourself up over things you can’t change, when you take the good things in your life for granted, when you hate others and lack empathy for others -- even the people it’s hard to have empathy for -- when you manipulate others to get what you want, when you undermine others or throw others under the bus, when you fight against the natural flow of the universe and nature: all of these things do damage to your higher mind. While I am not an atheist, my conception of a higher power is not a personified, anthropomorphic being. I believe in the flow of the universe, the natural progression of time, the power and energy that moves around and throughout everything. Because I believe that my higher power is the flow of the universe and nature, I harm my higher mind when I fight against these things, and I want to stay spiritually fit, because I believe that life is best when we work with nature rather than against it. When we come back, we’re going to talk about how PRAYERS can help those of us without a deity to build up our higher mind. I want to pause for a moment to encourage you to keep this discussion going. If you like what you hear here, please share my podcast on social media or text the link bit.ly/findwholephil to your friends. We can keep this conversation going on Twitter, I'm @reallyphilreese, use the hashtag #getyourwholephil. If you're new, subscribe at the bitly link I just mentioned, and give me a rating wherever you subscribe. Thanks, fam. Now on with the show.Every day I turn my will and my destiny over to the care of the flow of nature, and try to open my mind up to see that flow so that I can follow it. In order to do that I say my PRAYERS. I don’t pull out a rosary and say 53 Hail Marys though. Here is what I mean by PRAYERS: I Park my ego--or id -- and my self-will and self-interest. I Reassess and realign my goals and hopes. I Affirm to myself my good qualities and the positive qualities I want to foster more of. Your -- or rather my -- gratitude list happens every day. I practice the joy of appreciating the good things in my life, and remember I am grateful for those things, so I don’t take them for granted and risk losing them. I Empathize with everyone, especially my enemies and people who I could easily dismiss. As difficult as it is, and as often as I can fail at it, this means people like Donald Trump, famous homophobes, and other evil people. I Return to the flow of life, nature and the universe, and I atone for anytime I’ve screwed that up. I Serve others, and show generosity and compassion. Park your ego, Reassess your goals, Affirm your positive qualities, Your gratitude list, Empathize with everyone, Return to the flow of nature, and Serve others. P. R. A. Y. E. R. S. Prayers. That’s how I execute my PRAYERS even though I do not have a deity. A lot of people who have a deity don’t even do all of these things. That’s why we see that a lot of people who have a deity are very unhappy. While they put a lot of focus on “R”, their goals and their hopes, they treat prayer like it’s their Amazon wishlist, and they are angry when the old man in the sky doesn’t deliver. But PRAYERS aren’t about what I want, or what my will is. That’s why the first thing I do is park my will in the garage and put it away. How is nature flowing, and how can I get into that current and follow it, instead of fighting it. If my goals and hopes -- my wish list -- aren’t in line with that flow, I jettison them. If I hold onto them, I’m going to get sucked into the undertow and drown. A few words on empathy, probably the hardest part of this. If you only show empathy for people who already show you empathy, you’re not doing anything difficult. The more difficult act is to show radical empathy. To empathize and see the humanity in even the people who have behaved the most inhumanely. This doesn’t mean excusing them of their wrongs. If they’ve not atoned for their wrongs, there is still an imbalance and I don’t endorse that. But I can forgive and see the basic human dignity in everyone. I can. I don’t always do, but I can. This is an important and powerful step to making your higher mind HELLA strong. You don’t have to like people to empathize with them. You don’t have to sign off on what they’ve not atoned for. But you do have to afford them basic human dignity, give them the space and freedom to atone for their wrongs if they decide to, and forgive them and move on whether or not they take that opportunity. Grudges and resentments are a poison that I drink expecting other people to die. So dump the poison out. Just because I have empathy for evil people doesn’t mean I’m going to start watching the Cosby show, go to the Super Bowl with George W. Bush as my guest, or playing R Kelly in my DJ sets. They still have not atoned and I cannot sign off on the imbalance in justice that they are refusing to correct. But I can move on, and at the very least, put them out of my head and let them be the flawed people they are on their own time -- nowhere near my life -- and let them go. If PRAYERS were easy, everyone would do them. This is hard work, and I often fail at following this as well as I should. My id is very strong. I often foolishly think that my way is best -- better even than the way of the universe itself. And reality often hilariously reminds me how very incorrect I am, when I do this. That’s why I try to start my day parking my id and my will, and opening up my mind, to how I can best operate in the world I already live in, instead of trying to force the planet to bend to me. That opens me to be able to practice the rest of my PRAYERS. That's it for today. I hope you're enjoying the show.

Tweet me at @reallyphilreese with topic ideas you think I should cover. About my DJ gigs: which I usually discuss here. I don’t have any right now. I still have my day job, and my rent is paid every month. But my monthly income has been cut by at least one third, and things are tight. I live in DC, after all. That monthly paycheck is spent pretty much as soon as it comes in. There are people struggling much more than I am, but things get dicey at the end of the month. I hope to set up some virtual DJ sets soon, so keep an eye out for that, but if you want to support me and help me break the ramen cycle with a pizza or burrito every once in a while, my venmo is at phil-dash-reese. That’s at p-h-i-l-dash-r-e-e-s-e. But please remember there are people right now with NO income who need it more than I do. I did want to put that out there, though. In the mean time, do keep a look out on Twitter and the Phil Reese the DJ Facebook page for upcoming announcements of virtual DJ sets. Ben Norman I and I did a great Kicks & Giggles virtual set last week, streamed from both of our apartments uncut, which was a technological marvel and was a lot of fun. I can’t wait to do more of these. And, finally, remember, be good to yourself, love yourself, and we're all in this together.Support Whole Phil by donating to their Tip Jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/whole-philFind out more at https://whole-phil.pinecast.coThis podcast is powered by Pinecast.
