   When a machine breaks down, it's clear that there's a flaw in its mechanics or system, which can be identified and fixed to make the machine work again. However, dealing with complex living systems like families, workplaces, or the natural environment,  success systems are  not so straightforward. These systems are dynamic, lacking a simple baseline to restore, and they often overlap and interconnect with other systems. As a result, successful systems can be illusive, and implementing simple solutions can easily backfire.    A Systems Thinking mindset helps problem-solvers approach, consider, and predict the outcomes of their ideas, making it an invaluable concept when dealing with any system.  Business system support helps business owners learn to fish rather than be given a fish.    But how can you develop a systems mindset? Our guest in this episode will be a fantastic resource on this topic.    Josh is a consultant, coach, and speaker, who specializes in business system analysis and business systems for small business.   With his skills in business system analysis he is the sole worldwide licensing agent for the Work the System Method, based on Sam Carpenter's book Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less,  now in its fourth edition.

Josh Fonger is a consultant, coach, and speaker who is recognized as the leading authority in Business Performance Architecture and CEO of WTS Enterprises. He helped hundreds of businesses grow simply using the WTS Method, from working “in” their businesses to working “on” their businesses. What problem do you solve?  Help ambitious business owner break free of the day-to-day and working their tails off by working on systems and processes. Show Notes: Yoyo business is where a business grows and then they hit a plateau and then just kind of go up and down. The business is often their own deterrent to growth. This comes from a continuous back and forth shift from sales to customer service. Working on systems and processes can help alleviate the yoyo situation. It's important for business owners to realize their business is a separate entity from themselves. That allows them to look at their business more objectively. Concentrate on doing the important, not urgent thing. Create the system. It makes your business scalable. It is crucial to document your systems and processes. Look at your company as a collection of systems. Take your biggest problem and create a system and then hand it over. Document it, delegate it and free up your time. Josh Fonger's Best Small Business Tip: You probably don't need more information. You need to assimilate the right information in the right order to take you where you want to go. Get someone from the outside to hold you accountable.

In today's conversation we want to focus on a specific area that if strengthened, you will more enjoy life in the business while at the same time increase the value of the business making it more transferable or sellable. And if you have a transferable business you will have more options for your eventual exit.The topic for discussion is often neglected by business owners because for most of us… it's one of those things we know we should do….but it's painful to even think about doing it…so we often just continue to kick the can down the road rather than taking steps to get it done.Want to learn more?

It's going to be tedious, but it will open your eyes and allow you to be able to recognize the recurring problems and inefficiencies.If you're a manager, you've got to delegate the tasks properly. You need to have full documentation and clarity on the instructions on how to do the task correctly from start to finish. By doing this, you could also empower your team so that they know exactly what to do.The only way to get consistent and controlled results is to fully document the instructions for a task. Doing this doesn't only bring clarity to what the team member is supposed to do but it also helps them know what is expected of them.  "If you develop and then document the systems that make up what you do, what your team does, eventually, those problems aren't gonna be happening anymore because you're gonna be cutting out variability, you're gonna be cutting out waste in terms of time and materials." —  Josh Fonger  See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Josh Fonger:  Website: https://wtsenterprises.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/workthesystemLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshfonger/  Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

What's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome another episode of the real estate marketing dude, podcast. It is 2022. If you haven't been following this show, we've been on this little kick lately. And what we've been chatting about mainly has been running your business as a business not being a salesperson, just chasing your next check. Unfortunately, in the real estate space, whether you're a lender and investor or real estate broker, that's just what happens. You have to realize that you're running an entrepreneurial business and you are the business you are the brand. And that means you're running a damn business. If not, you're just a salesperson. So what we're gonna do today is because it's the beginning of the year, because it's 2022, we're gonna talk about how entrepreneurs really run their business as they spend more time setting up systems and things in their business, they could work on their business and not in it. So if you feel like you're just being ran around by clients, you don't have enough time in the day, this episode's gonna be for you. He has, he's in charge of the book, work the system. This dude knows what he's doing. And without further ado, we're gonna let him tell you all about it. Josh fungerer. Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself, Josh, and tell everybody a little bit about yourself, we'll get right into this interview.Sounds great. Glad to be here. Thanks, Mike. Yep, Josh bunker. And those, I don't know if you guys have this on video or not. But I'm only have a book called work the system, what I do is take the methodology in that book, and help his owners entrepreneurs fix their life expenses by getting control over their systems. And ultimately, that allows them to make more and work less, which is what most entrepreneurs would like to do. And we kind of free up their their mind space as well.In the real estate industry, we all get into this business, because we think we're gonna work less and control our hours, but fucking nothing is further from the truth. You get in the business. And if you get busy, you have no life. And it's a major problem within it. So I think everyone here is going to really appreciate what you have to say, sorry, I'm going to cut you off.No, that's great. Yeah, I've worked a lot of folks in in real estate, whether it's investors or realtors, or developers and home flippers, or you name it, anyone who's doing any kind of work ultimately has things that they do every day, every week, every month. And our whole goal is to help them see the separate pieces that make up their lives. And then realize those can be made from organic, which means you're just doing it by the seed your pants, just reacting to mechanical, you can mechanize those things. And it starts with a shift of the way you see your work. But then once you see your work differently, you can start to take those separate pieces and get some help along the way. I'm sure a lot of people who listen to this have some assistance or some part timers people that they that they use, and how to really expand that help and duplicate what you do. And ultimately, it's allow you to buy more houses, sell more houses do do more of what you already doing, you just gonna be able to expand that. Butso many of us are control freaks, I'm guilty of this I guy, I'm the guilty, I'm your ideal client. The, you know, no one could do it as good as I can. Or, and honestly, I've been you guys, I've been going through this shit for the last three years, no BS, like I've had a road from hell building these businesses. And I've lost family time. I've suffered time with my wife. No doubt, and I have no problem sharing that with you guys. But I've also learned a lot about business throughout this last three to four years of my transformation out here to San Diego. And what I've learned a lot is what my business partners have taught me and working on the business. I'm an operator. I'm not a business owner. That's one realization I came to this year, it's very hard to go from operator to business owner by by mindset, I'm just an operator, I like being in the fucking grind, like get in the trenches. And I'm a control freak. I don't like giving up stuff because I don't know if anyone could do it quite as well as me and I think a lot of people that are entrepreneurial are in that position. Which is what real estate agents and lenders are. So how do you is it fair to say that's the first step?Yeah, it definitely is. The first step is to is realize where you are you are self employed operator, right? And it's a build, they like to stay in that phase. And that's fine just to stay in that fight phase but you're, you're going to hit a wall, right? We call it the plateau and whatever that plateau is maybe that's making, I don't know, 100 grand a year, 200 grand a year, whatever that plateau is. You're going to be able to raise the plateau a little bit if you work more hours and your pipes gonna go down if you work less hours, but you're just gonna hover there, we call it a yo yo business, basically, you're going to be there. And if you get sick or you have family issues, it's gonna go down. And then if you you know, have less responsibilities at home, you're going to go up, but you're not going to go anywhere. At the end of your life, what you built will just be a job, and you can't sell it, you can't expand it, and some people are fine with that. And if that's you, then you know what we're going to talk about the rest of today, maybe you won't be that helpful. But for those who want to go beyond that, there is a way and it is a different way of working.You're right on the money with that. But God I'll use myself, as an example here you guys is that when you will hit a plateau, you can only do so much. You won't grow your business by yourself. There is no I in team. And no, I get to the next level like and we're talking about running a business like not just being the average agent, you wait, you sell fucking 50 houses a year, congratulations, I'm talking about selling 150 houses a year 300 houses a year, becoming literally local celebrity building a brand in your market that requires business. And there's no way that anyone in the top ranks right now, regardless of what profession you're in, does this without what I think you're about to share with us. But at least the vast majority unless you're freakin Superman, but let's be honest, we're human beings. We have feelings, we have needs and whatnot, and it's very difficult. Let's start off with how you sort of walk us through how we work the system here, if you will, and let's start off with that. Like, how do you and I'm just gonna act like how do you? I feel like this is a question. But how do you know what to give up and what not to give up? This is something I personally struggled with. Because ultimately, the biggest thing is you got your business you're running, there's a million things going on. You're the CEO, CFO, accountant, CPA, you name it, you're wearing every hat. Where does it make sense? I think one of the hardest things people has is I have to pay someone for that. What do they decide? And how do you help people overcome that? Because that's the control factor, I think is just was hard for me at least Yeah.Oh, yeah, definitely. And I think that's a really important step. It was usually a few steps before that. And the reason why is to handoff. So whatever you're doing right now, and entrepreneurial people, especially in real estate has a lot of ways to make money in real estate. But people who are entrepreneurial in that space, they, they there's so much in their head and in their instincts and in their experience, that they know how to make success out of all sorts of random situations. And so they they've lived that for so many years that you had to hand over what you're doing right now, or even pieces of it, the next person you handed over to is going to drop the ball, they're going to screw it up, they're going to miss the context, they're going to miss the opportunity, they're going to botch it. And so even before you can start handing things off, is you need to do, you know, sit out, sit alone for a minute and really think, okay, of the 10 different ways I make money in real estate, what is the piece that is the most scalable, that is the most efficient, that is the most simple, that really I could build a team around. And that could be duplicated, because maybe it's not everything that you do, but there's probably certain pieces. And that's the part that you want to really think through and make a business out of, and we call the document, you write a strategic objective, because if you if you do that, then you know, okay, there's, again, a lot of ways to make money real estate, but the business I want to build is going to be Gatineau flipping houses that are in the, you know, starter houses that are under $300,000 a year, or said that would be much in San Diego, but you know, whatever, whatever the range is gonna park in space. Yeah. And so you you pick, you pick exactly the kind of housing type, you pick the exact area, you pick the exact buying type, you pick the exact, you know, all the different pieces, and you really simplify it taking this, this buying group this product this way, you know, marketing this way, and like this is the plan. And then, and then you can start bringing people on. Because both people want to do a good job, they just don't know how to, they don't know what a good job looks like. And they don't come with 20 years experience. It's not their business, they learn how dedicated and so you you have to say hey, it's a very simple thing, I need you to move this from point A to point B, I need you to to pound a real estate sign in the grass. Can you do that you dig the hole, put that in there. And yeah, someone can do that. And so the more you first have a simple strategy, then you can have simple processes and then you can bring in people to do simple things. And if those people come and go, which they do, then you can bring someone else on to do the same thing because you've you've mechanize a simplifies the pieces of your business and allow yourself to do the things that are more gray area decision making more complex. There's a lot of nuance, there's those there is you want to stay in, but you want that that piece your business to shrink, right. So right now most entrepreneurial real estate folks, everything is gray, everything has context, everything has nuance, but you want that part of your life to shrink over time, the more that can shrink, the more your business that's scalable, can can grow. And that's ultimately what you want to do. I'll say, I have a client that I had years ago actually in Guam, so we do coaching and consulting, and they buy our products and, and one of them was a realtor, right. And so she was a realtor in Guam, and she focused on selling houses and the whole island of Guam. I'd never been there before. But then she realized that her key bind type was people in the military people were coming there, you know, to be there for a few years. And they were leaving years later. And like, this was her core thing. And then she realized that there was a certain kind of house that they wanted. And then she realized that they were mainly buying houses or searching for houses, out of state or out of country, like there were somewhere else looking. And so she said, You know what, I'm just going to do social media posts, specific to this kind of buying group. And she just became the face the brand, she's very bubbly. And then she had her agents, she built up a team of agents, who just did this one type of house for this one type of buyer, who had this one type of situation where they'd be there for a while, and they would leave and they had, you know, a spouse, and one kid or whatever that might be kind of in that life range. And that was a business very simple, build a team around it, and didn't have to do all of the real estate, commercial, industrial, you know, every other kind of real estate, you know, storage rentals, renovations, she just did her thing. And that's what allowed it to be simple, profitable, easy, and ultimately more, more fun, because she could do what she likes to do, which was kind of be out there and be the face, but not actually handling the client work or the paperwork, or the, you know, the headaches that go into it.It's one of the one of my favorite books I've read in the last few years has been The One Thing by Gary Keller. And he talks a lot about that, like, pick out one thing you do well, so let's put this in the context for a couple of the agents out there or even it'll say your mortgage broker be really good at FHA loans. Now, I agree with this, I believe that when you're really good and your niche or your niche, however you want to say it, I think that is when you actually sell more and do more. I think when you the problem I think you have in real estate, because you're right, you're saying you're hitting on the DoD guys, this is really good. You might want to play this back. But what he's saying is that what are you trying to resonate, and you become the jack of all trades, you master zero. And when that occurs, you end up losing other opportunities. And if you were just to narrow down on a niche, so let's play this through on a couple different aspects. Why do real estate investors never have a listing problem? Like in any market, like real estate investors are always flipping houses. But then you have in this market right now, where inventory is very tight, regardless of where you're at in the country, you can't get a real estate agent can't get a listing if they bought one. But Riis investors are picking up properties for pennies on the dollar easily. It's because they do one thing very successfully, they focus on motivated sellers, distressed assets, and they put their cash offer in front of them over and over and over again until someone raises their hands and therefore they eventually find a property to buy. So what does that for you, you guys, realtors go out there and then they buy leads over here, then they go out and buy a software they never use, then they go out and invest in some coaching system they never take the lessons to and then they go out over here and then they go to this and this is every freaking you guys are a bunch of squirrels is what the problem is? Well, Heidi personality, like me, I'm like one of the worst of it. But how often you see that? Is that pretty common?Oh, yeah, well, and I think that people who are in sales, like realtors, it's even more common, the more you're in a sales environment, perfect face to face sales. The skill sets that you need to be really successful making connection and making these deals happen is like the opposite skill set that you need to build a business. To build a business, you have to be someone who can just sit quietly, and see the separate pieces and document their systems and be more of a you know, behind the scenes engineer than somebody who's really good on the spot. And I think that that's hard. And if you don't, if that's not your personality type, then you can know that but still know that's a key part of your business that you're lacking. And so maybe you need to bring out someone who's an operations manager. But they wouldn't have to be full time to begin with. They could help you with the operations. They could help you get those pieces dialed in they could help you line up a sequence for you. Because I mean I mean a lot people in sales and that's just not their their way of living. But they know they want it and I don't I don't say don't don't become something you're not just understand the importance of it and try it bring someone on, you make a few more sales, and then use that money to invest in your business, you're not gonna invest your time at least to invest your money in your business, and don't invest in coaching yourself to be something that you're not. I think that's because I've tried, I've tried a lot of people, you know, to make them into that kind of a project engineer, and they hear it, they think about it, they like it, but they don't do it. And I've gotten more to the point where we know what, that's really not you then find somebody who is like that, who really likes to cross the t's and dot the i's, they really like to build these separate systems, and bring them on board. And oftentimes, you have to pay those people very much. I mean, they, they really like to be behind the scenes and, and help you put those pieces together. And then you're gonna find that, again, scalability happens then.So basically, list all the stuff you hate, or you're not good at, that you have to do to get by with your business, make a list of that, outsource it, figure out how to outsource it, whether it's a VA, or maybe you hire someone in house, you hire what we call slash I'm going to give you a little bit everything. But that's what we're seeing here. Yeah.Yeah, well, but again, the first thing is, we call. So there's different methodologies into the first step to ours is systems mindset, mindset shift a strategic objective operating principles, general principles. And then after that, yeah, just like you said, it's breaking apart your business in terms of what I would do with business owners is to help them first see what what they're doing. And so it's pretty tedious, but actually writing down every single thing you do throughout the day, and do that for three days. And you're going to see, most of what you do is pretty remedial work, most of what you do, wouldn't have to happen. If you're driving out to properties to take pictures, maybe you're, you know, I don't know listing things online where someone else could list it, maybe you're doing various things that you wouldn't really have to do. And, and once you have that list that it's about, who can either do this, or doesn't need to happen at all. So automating that, delegating it, deleting it, oftentimes, a lot of what people are doing doesn't even need to happen at all, or it's the wrong thing. They're putting something that would be really great once their business was in order, but they just need to put some things in order first. And so you know, stop doing that thing for six months, and just build a few infrastructure elements first. And I think you put a good point out there in terms of the people you bring on board. In some cases, you want us an expert to do a thing, like I have a bookkeeper who just, you know, does my books, she doesn't do 10 different things. And she sends out invoices, she does the books, she prepares the things to give us my account, my counter says taxes. That's the one thing that they do. So there are some you know, I've got a guy who does video editing, he just does video editing. He's great at video editing, I'm not going to have him also do sales calls like he just does the one thing that you want to have some of those you know hired guns on your team, especially as you're growing.There's there's gonna be a specialization and then there's going to be the nuanced stuff that's like must do but someone can take care of a lot of this stuff, especially transactionally in the transactional business. Yeah, did you guys hear what he said? He's just said if you need to outsource your video editing, that's exactly what we do you guys. That means if you need to script that industry, but your videos you contact a real estate marketing dude, because that is about money making activity. Anyways, edit, take that plug real quick. So yeah, it makes a lot of sense. There's a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of stuff to unpack there. Alright. I go through I figure out what I'm doing because it is also if you're running a business, you're good at something like if you're at this stage, right? So identifying what that is and what cannot be duplicatable was one of the things I figured out early on I'm like what can I do that no one else can buy that I can't hire out. Right for realtor a lot of that's gonna be the face time the one on one go in there and close a dam appointment. You don't need to be the one to show up and take the damn photos with the photographer that's a waste of time you don't need to be the one putting up the lockbox that's a complete waste of time. If you're a lender, you don't need to be the one taking in the paperwork. That's a complete waste of time you need to get them on the phone you're pretty face in front of them, make them feel secure and then hire out all those tedious type tasks. And yeah, what does that mean you have more time to create content more time to spend with your family more time to I don't know do whatever the hell you want go on fucking vacation who cares? Live life but it makes a lot of sense. I'm living in it right now everything that he's saying is right on you guys and I've made the shift in like literally 12 months 1218 months I would say doesn't happen overnight though does it?No it doesn't it that's why we like get people to write some things down so that they can hold themselves accountable to actually sticking with the plan that came up with because as you know, there's always that next deal that comes in the door and it takes you off track and you're like well I've been really focused on this this housing type but then you know this multi multifamily you know, unit came in, so I'm gonna get You know, spend my a spinner wheels with this for next two months. And so you have to really be eventually discipline to stay in that line. And the other piece about really doing what you're really good at Mike is, eventually, you become so good at that you can start charging premium prices, you can start to really raise the rate of what you you are personally worth at doing what you do, because you don't do hire things. You just do three things. And so I you know, and that depends on different industries. I don't really know how much of a premium you can put on your pricing in real estate, butI think quite a bit. Let's play it out. I'm gonna be two different examples. Well, you live in Hawaii, right. What's the town you live in the city again?I live in Kelowna. So Kawhi is the island. Yeah, soKawhi is the island. But Hawaii is a bunch of different islands. So there's a difference between a Hawaii real estate agent and then one that specializes just on that island? Yep. Yeah, like the one who's just on that island is going to demand a higher rate than the one that's not there. And the thing that I think too, in real estate is that we often be like, Oh, my God, people often don't care as much about price, as I think we put an emphasis on and I think that goes for any business. There's a reason why Ritz Carlton exists and Holiday Inn. It's just based upon the experience, there's gonna be a market for both you guys, and you have to realize that it's one of the biggest questions when a realtor what's happening in the industry right now is there's a lot of we call it commission compression. There's a lot of outside forces, trying to remove the Commission's there's a lot of outside forces trying to remove Realtors from the equation. Do a travel agent reboot, if you will. But and that's where a lot of this in the industry is a lot of agents having to do things differently having to reposition themselves having to rebrand themselves. And it's what you're saying is right on because I the whole message of the show you guys, you guys got to own one you got you got to do one thing with your personal brand very, very well.Right? Yeah, totally. And I and, and as you probably know, from talking to me, I work a lot of industries, hundreds of them. So I don't know much about real estate. But I know that I had a client years ago who owned a fleet of taxis, right? It was in the taxi, it's like, maybe eight years ago, nine years ago. And we all know what's what's happened to that industry, right with Uber and Lyft, and all that stuff. And at the time, you know, everyone kind of wore his his fleet, the different different colored cars, different clothing that his drivers wore, they would say different things, the brand wasn't really tight, they had some repeat clients, they had some private clients, they had some, you know, high end, low end, you know, will be at the airport, they're all different things. I said, you can see what's coming with technology and what's happening and, and you're really gonna have to be, you know, clear on what your brand is, I mean, and we came up with this whole plan, which was going to be you know, really higher end cars, it was going to be private clients, it's going to be clients who wanted consistency, they wanted to get to know you, they were going to be your personal drivers. And really just focus on that don't Don't be the generic, Uber Lippard just coming up then. And, you know, he just didn't, he didn't go didn't go for it. He said, Well, you know, I've been a miss out in the airport, I'm gonna miss out on this, I'm gonna miss out of that. And my drivers don't want to all wear a uniform, and they don't all want to be consistent. So the people didn't want to be consistent on his team. And therefore he just diluted and never heard from the guy again, I'm sure he's out of business, he's probably probably he's probably an Uber driver right now. And I think, like you said, it probably happening exactly the same in real estate. Not that I follow it closely. But if all of the low end people who want the cheapest people who want who are fine using an app or using a website to find their own house, and they're really trying to cut the commission down i'll be trying to be at the highest and you know, very specific, very custom very unique, you know, know, know your market know your niche, know your, what, you're the best ad in the world in terms of helping in this particular industry, and then charge a premium. And don't be ashamed about it. Like yeah, I help people find houses that have Olympic sized swimming pools that are near the ocean or whatever. And that's what I do. If you want Olympic sized swimming pool, I know where all the Maranta it costs extra 10 grand, I don't know, I mean that here'sthe hardest part of that is that when you do make the shift, guys, this is what happens. The hardest part about making it is that there will be an opportunity that doesn't fit your new narrative that you have to turn down. It'll be a short term loss for a long term game, though you have to realize that Yeah, and just like the scenario here would be like, Okay, let's just say I'm in San Diego I only focus on coastal properties. So that means I'm west of the five you know, the market or their you know what that is? I'd focus just on the west of the five but let's just say I get a listing 20 miles inland. I got to say no to that listing, because what we're saying while I build my brand going west of the five because over the long term, if you play your cards right you fully commit You'll win out. But in the short term, you might lose out in that little than that one deal that you just took inland. So you have to discuss and figure out what that is for you. And be willing to do it is the hardest partis there's two things, you also wanna think about what then I totally agree with you, Mike. One of them is, if you're consistently getting work that's outside the bubble you've defined, find other partners, friends, referrals that you can send out and get paid something for, you know, I used to this kind of work, but I don't anymore, I give it to give it to Rick. Okay, at least I'm gonna get 1000 bucks or whatever, I'm gonna get some fee, but I can keep my head straight. That's one way to do it. And the other way to do it, and this is what I do as a consultant, is I do one thing, I help people, you know, shift from being, you know, self employed business owners to being true business owners kind of help them make that shift using a methodology. But if somebody comes to me and says, Josh, I love your podcast, I love I want to work with you. I mean, I'm working on this startup, and we're doing whatever, you know, can you work with me? And I'm really intrigued by it, I will just raise my fees dramatically. And I'll say, You know what, it's going to be $10,000 a day. I'm just throwing a number out there. But I'm happy to work with you just $10,000 a day. And if he's like, sounds great. Let's do it. Like, Oh, okay. Well, you know, so. So it's more of a not saying no to opportunities, but you just raising your rates, because it takes you off of your key business. And I think that helps people during the transition period, as well, as they're not saying no, they're just saying, you know, my time is worth this, it's going to be a distraction, it's gonna take me off course, I'm going to put a high dollar fee onto that. If it happens, I'll do it. But if it doesn't happen, I'm okay with that, too. I did that with a speaking event. I don't I don't do keynote speaking. If you're watching this, you probably know, I'm not that dynamic of a person. And so I those persons, like I want you to speak at our annual event, it's going to be so important. And I'm like, Well, I don't really do that. It's not part of our business plan. It's not reallya perfect example. Like, would most people be like, I speak in a keynote I'm in. But you're like, so disciplined that you know, your lane.Yeah. And it's not scalable. It's not going to be I can't use my team to do it. I have to travel. Thisis my team to give a keynote. That's funny.So it's a, so I said, Okay, so how long is it? It's, it's an hour to $5,000. Okay. He Said, She Said, sounds good. You know, and like, Okay, well, I guess I'll, you know, do my standard by standard stick for five grand and that'll go horrible. Call it a day, but but it's not something I want to do every day. But then I can take that money and invest in things that are scalable, that don't require me to be here. And so that's, that's, I think, mentality that you want to have. But like you said, it doesn't happen in a day you have to be disciplined. I'm personally not discipline. I mean, I that's something that I was just talking to, you know, Sam, the author of the book is that that's 2020 to be more disciplined. That's and entrepreneurs have a hard time with that. Yeah.No doubt. Well, this has been awesome. Closing notes, closing thoughts, guys. The one thing that you have to own in the real estate business is your network, your database, anyone who you know, basically your Facebook list because 88% of business is going to come from the people that are just around you that either know you personally met you they referred to you or you have worked with them in the past. That's where business comes from in real estate. So if you're gonna own one thing on your damn database, on your social media accounts, and make sure every single person you know knows what the hell you do, and if you need help doing that, we would love to help you script edit and distribute your video content. Josh, why don't you go ahead and tell people how they can find you read the book, check out his stuff, you guys it's been this is while we always talk about making money and all the glamour shitter real estate buying nice cars and all of that you don't get there unless you do this first.

As an entrepreneur, you may be used to putting in hours of work learning new tactics, skills, and strategies. Your business rests on your shoulders, and why wouldn't it, you're the one who built it from the ground up. While it's a commendable feat to build a profitable business, it can also be a prison sentence for many “hands-on” entrepreneurs. This is how Sam Carpenter, author of Work the System felt as he put in 110 hours a week just to keep his business afloat.Sam realized why he was working so hard without seeing results: there were no systems in his business. Once he started implementing systems and processes, he went from 110+ hour weeks to 2 hour weeks. The same happened with one of his students and now partner, Josh Fonger, who runs Work the System Enterprises where he helps business owners from over 50 countries scale their businesses with far less headache.If you've ever felt that your business relies on you too much to take a day off, take a vacation, or simply work less every week, these are the two guys you need to talk to. Josh and Sam were kind enough to take three live guest calls on this episode's recording to help with their specific business problems. As all the guests are real estate investors and professionals, much of the advice may translate to your business as well!In This Episode We Cover:Why a system doesn't need to (and shouldn't) be complicated to design and implementReducing your time, effort, and energy spent on workUnderstanding which systems need to be fixed or removed entirely front our lifeHow to stop playing “whack-a-mole” with your business processesWhy so many businesses fall behind after improving Creating a sustainable solution that gives you (the entrepreneur) maximum freedomAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets BookstoreOpen Door CapitalBiggerPockets InsightsBiggerPockets BooksBiggerPockets Podcast 254: Tim Ferriss on Real Estate, Becoming a Top Performer and His Tribe of MentorsBiggerPockets Podcast 137: How to Use Systems to Scale Your Real Estate Business with Sam CravenWork the System WebsiteClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show510See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hi, Profit Designers! As we at Tap the Potential gear up for a number of special, upcoming projects, we're taking this time to bring you some of our most popular episodes from the vault! We hope you enjoy it, and we'll be back with new episodes for you very soon!  Vision, mission, and values. Holding yourself accountable to the same standards of performance as those around us. Differentiating between your normal, and someone else's. All this, and more, as Wayne Mullins joins Dr. Sabrina and Mike to discuss “Building a High Performance Culture”. As someone who hates structure, Wayne found it liberating and found that it allowed him the head space to not worry so much once he learned to become more rigid and structured in his personal life. There's a ton of wisdom to be heard in this podcast, you don't want to miss any of it! You will probably want to listen to it a few times! Wayne Mullins is a passionate entrepreneur committed to creating remarkable experiences, and building a team at Ugly Mug Marketing that produces extraordinary results for their clients. He has been called “the guru's guru,” as he regularly called upon for advice from Inc. 500 CEO's, New York Times Best Selling Authors, to Silicon Valley startups.  However, his passion is helping entrepreneurs challenge their assumptions, create value from places they've never looked, and having more freedom than they previously believed possible.  He has worked hands-on with clients in over 100 different industries, and from every corner of the globe.   Ugly Mug Marketing, which Wayne founded 10 years ago, has won the praises of some of the leading influencers in the business world, such as, Neil Patel (Founder of QuickSprout & Kissmetrics), Chris Voss (New York Times Best Selling Author of Never Split the Difference), and Ari Weinzweig (Co-Founder of Zingerman's). Wayne's work directly influences more than one hundred thousand entrepreneurs annually through his blog, books, and training programs. Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group. Show Highlights: Wayne explains the concept of “context switching”, a concept from Todd Herman, who teaches a program called The 90 Day Year. Concept switching is when you're working on a project to be completed within a specified block of time, but something else comes up that needs to be addressed. So you switch over to that, and when that fire is put out, you jump back over to the project. After a period of time, you realize that you haven't accomplished anything because you've spent so much time jumping back and forth. In the middle of the switch, there's another concept called “Attention Residue”, as explained by author, Cal Newport in Deep Work. Attention residue is the lag between jumping from working on the first project to jumping into working on the urgent situation. Attention residue takes time, energy, and effort between working on those two contexts, and is detrimental to productivity. Wayne is an avid reader and researcher, and often borrows ideas that he finds particularly compelling, and gives as much credit to the author or originator as possible. Vision, mission, and values: if you don't prioritize and make time, energy, and effort for these, then it directly impacts and influences the culture that you create. Vision: where you're going, and where you want to end up at in some point in the future. Looking 3 years into the future helps you set the destination of where you want to get to. Mission: the plan of action. What are we going to do to bring that vision to life? That's what drives and motivates us. Values: core principles, the things that we believe in and that will stand as guideposts along our path, to ensure that in the pursuit of our vision, we aren't losing our way. We're staying true to the course that we have set out. Feeling like you have to go back to the basics, back to square one, is one of the biggest frustrations of the entrepreneur. Very early on, Wayne had the pleasure of coming into contact with Ari Weinzweig, Entrepreneur and Co-founder of Zingerman's Deli. In a personal conversation, Ari divulged that he considered himself the “CRO” of his company. When asked what that meant, he explained it as “Chief Reminding Officer”, as he considered it his responsibility to constantly remind his leadership and his team about where they were going, why they were going there, and why it was important. Dr. Sabrina explains that not only do they have immutable laws at Tap The Potential, they also have General Operating Principles, as inspired by Josh Fonger, of Work the System. Wayne discusses the Enneagram of Personality profile and the nine different personality traits, as discussed on the Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast. The nine different personality traits are nine NORMALS. Wayne was struck by how what's normal for him is not necessarily normal for someone else on his team. The difference between intentions and actions, as Wayne heard on another episode of Andy Stanley's Leadership Podcast, is that we judge ourselves based on our intentions. We judge others around us based on their actions. Where we might give ourselves a pass because we intended to do something but didn't, we judge others based on they didn't get it done today, and why didn't they get it done today. Wayne shares an unsettling story about Dan Kennedy, and the impact it had on him to do what he says he's going to do, and when he says he's going to do it. The actions that we take every day, or the actions we don't take every day, is what builds our lives, our businesses, and our careers. Wayne explains his takeaway from Marshall Goldsmith's book, Triggers. Measuring performance and bringing balance to opposing forces. “The Field of Play” concept by Charles Coonradt, in The Game of Work. Terminal out of bounds - stealing, lying, cheating, etc Operational out of bounds - things that are more infractions. You're out of bounds but you're going to get a warning, and need to step back into bounds Wayne mentions his own “Ugly Mug Expectation Guide”, that applicants review during the hiring process. End zone - where you want the employees to get to RRR (Results to Resources Ratio) - Goal Setting / Performance Measurement System John Doerr outlines another form of Goal Setting / Performance Measurement System, called OKR (Objectives and Key Results), in Measure What Matters. John happens to be one of the first investors of Google! Profit goal Fulfillment or service goal Future work goal Creates a peer-to-peer accountability Wayne outlines his various meetings structures. When you set goals for a year's period, it's so far in the future that we tend to delay and put off until it's too late to make progress toward those goals to actually reach it by the end of that year. In The Twelve Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months, by Brian P. Moran, Brian says that you should treat every 12-week period as if it were its very own year. Your question then becomes, what can you accomplish within the next 12 weeks? Here's why you want to encourage healthy conflict!

Many sales leaders spend most of their time 'parachuting' into their team's sales, salvaging those who are at risk of being lost. Unfortunately, this game of whack-a-mole does little for the salesperson in the long-term and nothing for the team. When we sat down with the CEO of systems, Josh Fonger, we walked through how to solve sales problems on every team once, so that salespeople (and their leaders) never had to deal with those problems again.

At his low point, Josh Fonger delivered potato chips at 4 AM while also landscaping and selling life insurance. He had just lost “everything.” House. Car. Savings... you name it. But through it all, he still had his family. And not only did he learn that the most important things in life can never be taken away... ... but today he's one of the most in-demand small business consultants in North America. Listen to hear the full story and learn how you can grow your business while removing yourself as the bottleneck.

For many agency owners systems is the S Word. We bristle at the idea of being confined. It feels like an attempt to stifle our creativity and ability to think out of the box. But if we’re honest with ourselves, there’s a lot of wash-rinse-repeat in our work every day. And without systems (which I translate to “the agency’s way of doing something) everyone develops their own way of accomplishing each and every task. Not only does that mean we are inconsistent at best but it also means that if that employees leaves, so does their tribal knowledge. This is a problem we can and should solve. My guest for this episode is Josh Fonger, a Business Performance Architect and co-founder of the company, Work The System. The company is based on a book by the same name by Sam Carpenter and exists to help people implement the concepts. If you loved Michael Gerber’s book The E-Myth, but wished he’d told you HOW to follow his recommendations, you’ll love hearing from Josh. In our conversation, Josh outlines not only why systems are important but the specific steps you can take to build them into your agency, no matter how long your agency has been around or how you’re functioning today. While the work may not seem sexy, once the processes are in place, you’ll love the reduction of mistakes, the ability to scale and the increase in profitability.

It's a common myth that systems and processes hinder innovation — but if done right, it actually removes the mundane and gives you the space to innovate. In addition, having the right systems and processes in place can help you get your business working for you, instead of the other way around. Josh Fonger joins me to show us how.   Josh Fonger is a consultant, coach, and speaker who is recognized as the leading authority in Business Performance Architecture, i.e. how to set up systems and structures in your business to work for you. After reading Sam Carpenter’s book Work The System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less, Josh approached Sam to form a partnership focused on helping businesses properly organize and systematize their operations so they can achieve exponential growth. Today, Josh is one of the most in-demand Small Business Consultants in North America and has helped small startup businesses to $500 million enterprises from over 50 countries get unstuck using systematic solutions.   We dive into what inspired Josh to connect with Sam and start helping others “work the system,” as well as why we often don’t realize our systems aren’t working for us until it’s too late. Josh shares some of the top warning signs that our systems need an overhaul, as well as his insights into why people allow themselves to become the bottleneck. We also discuss how people can get into the system mindset, effective triggers for change, and how to balance systems with innovation, as well as why it’s as much about building the right systems as it is having the right people carry out the systems to get to success.   If you are ready to: get buy-in from key decision-makers on your next big idea be a high-impact, high-value member that ignites change foster a culture of innovation where everyone on your team is bringing innovative ideas that tackle challenges and seize opportunities… Join us on LaunchStreet — gotolaunchstreet.com   Mentioned in This Episode: Josh Fonger, Work The System Sam Carpenter Work The System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less, by Sam Carpenter Derek Sivers — The First Follower The Infinite Game, by Simon Sinek Wooden on Leadership: How to Create a Winning Organization, by John Wooden  

Growing up in a family who owned businesses, Josh Fonger always knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur himself. However, there is a certain reason why he wanted to be one- he wanted to make the most money by doing the least work.

Now, he and his team are helping businesses to build their own systems to be sustainable. Also, they are helping individuals who would like to help other businesses win, as a certified consultant. So, if you are a small business owner who wanted to be different than the 98% of small business who fail before their five-year mark, be sure to listen to this podcast in full. On the other hand, are you one of the many people who were laid off due to the pandemic we are facing right now, or are you one of those who are looking for another hustle, or simply those who are looking to pivot to another career direction?

This episode  gives so much value about it.  Here’s What You Missed What was Josh's first career path and why he pivoted to being a business consultantWhy did Josh had negative view about business consultants, and why did he end up being oneWhy do a huge percentage of small businesses fail, and how does having systems in place makes a differenceHow to automate, delegate and delete, and why is it important for small businesses ownersWhy consider being a business consultant and how you can be one  Knowledge Nuggets At first, Josh felt business consultants do not help businesses, and worse, might even ruin it. But today, he sees great value in it, after having helped thousands of businesses get back on track. Here's what he has to say about how businesses can win, and how you can win as a business consultant. [7:12] Focus on what you can control. Months ago, no one predicted about the pandemic we are facing right now. These are things that we can not control. Focus on things that you`can control like your mind, your actions, things you do for your family and your business. Regardless of the turbulent things that are happening outside, the most effective use of our time is doing good work. [14:49] Build systems for your business. Build the infrastructure with your team. This method will be more sustainable because it's based on documented systems that the team builds. [18:02] Recognize the system that are already in your business. Systems are always happening, you just need to recognize it. There is marketing system, an HR system, a sales system etc, see those as separate systems, optimize them and manage them as the CEO. [19:53] Automate, delegate, delete. In small businesses, specially with soloprenuers, having an assistant is a must. Value your time at a high price. Think of the things you constantly do, and think, is this worth my time? If the answer is no, you should decide either to automate it, delegate or delete the task. Be the leader that your business needs, and not the assistant who does all the other smaller things. [22:15] Small business often over complicate what it takes to sell. Instead of just making the sales and offers, small business sometimes think they need to put up their website, social media, branding, etc first before they could provide the value to their customers. When you're small, that can be a huge distraction. Go right to selling, to giving value, and these others will follow. [29:05] Consider being a business consultant. Everyone can do it, as an outside perspective with different knowledge and experience can do amazing work for a business who's stuck in a loop.  [32:46] Do not be afraid to get started. Don't get stuck in the rut of paralysis of analysis. The best way to get started is to connect with your friends or past employees and offer your services. You may start with working free for the first client or the first few months to get connections, tons of experience, and testimonials. Whatever it takes, just start. Important Reads and Links  Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less https://www.workthesystem.com https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/work-the-system/id1002104093  Love #DreamNation?

Many entrepreneurs/business owners see their worlds as a complex, confused, random mass of sights, sounds, and events. And because of this misperception of reality, they find themselves working long stressed hours, killing fires and performing endless recurring tasks…and are almost always contending with cash flow problems. There is no time or money to build solid […]

What are the ingredients for a high performance culture? Vision, mission, and values...Holding yourself accountable to the same standards of performance as those around us...Differentiating between your normal, and someone else’s...We cover all this, and more, as Wayne Mullins joins Dr. Sabrina and Mike to discuss “Building a High Performance Culture”.   As someone who tends to dislike structure, Wayne now finds it liberating as it allows him the headspace to be more creative and effective. There’s a ton of wisdom to be heard in this podcast, you don’t want to miss any of it! You will probably want to listen to it a few times!   Wayne Mullins is a passionate entrepreneur committed to creating remarkable experiences, and building a team at Ugly Mug Marketing that produces extraordinary results for their clients. He has been called “the guru’s guru,” as he is regularly called upon for advice from Inc. 500 CEO’s, New York Times Best Selling Authors, to Silicon Valley startups.  However, his passion is helping entrepreneurs challenge their assumptions, create value from places they’ve never looked, and having more freedom than they previously believed possible.  He has worked hands-on with clients in over 100 different industries, and from every corner of the globe.   Ugly Mug Marketing, which Wayne founded 10 years ago, has won the praises of some of the leading influencers in the business world, such as, Neil Patel (Founder of QuickSprout & Kissmetrics), Chris Voss (New York Times Best Selling Author of Never Split the Difference), and Ari Weinzweig (Co-Founder of Zingerman’s). Wayne’s work directly influences more than one hundred thousand entrepreneurs annually through his blog, books, and training programs.   Show Highlights:   Wayne explains the concept of “context switching”, a concept from Todd Herman, who teaches a program called The 90 Day Year. Context switching is when you’re working on a project to be completed within a specified block of time, but something else comes up that needs to be addressed. So you switch over to that, and when that fire is put out, you jump back over to the project. After a period of time, you realize that you haven’t accomplished anything because you’ve spent so much time jumping back and forth. In the middle of the switch, there’s another concept called “Attention Residue”, as explained by author, Cal Newport in Deep Work. Attention residue is the lag between jumping from working on the first project to jumping into working on the urgent situation. Attention residue takes time, energy, and effort between working on those two contexts, and is detrimental to productivity. Vision, mission, and values: if you don’t prioritize and make time, energy, and effort for these, then it directly impacts and influences the culture that you create. Vision: where you’re going, and where you want to end up at some point in the future. Looking 3 years into the future helps you set the destination of where you want to get to. Mission: the plan of action. What are we going to do to bring that vision to life? That’s what drives and motivates us. Values: core principles, the things that we believe in and that will stand as guideposts along our path, to ensure that in the pursuit of our vision, we aren’t losing our way. We’re staying true to the course that we have set out. Feeling like you have to go back to the basics, back to square one, is one of the biggest frustrations of the entrepreneur. Very early on, Wayne had the pleasure of coming into contact with Ari Weinzweig, Entrepreneur and Co-founder of Zingerman’s Deli. In a personal conversation, Ari divulged that he considered himself the “CRO” of his company. When asked what that meant, he explained it as “Chief Reminding Officer”, as he considered it his responsibility to constantly remind his leadership and his team about where they were going, why they were going there, and why it was important. Dr. Sabrina explains that not only do they have Immutable Laws at Tap The Potential, they also have General Operating Principles, as inspired by Josh Fonger, of Work the System.  Wayne discusses the Enneagram of Personality profile and the nine different personality traits, as discussed on the Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast. The nine different personality traits are nine NORMALS. Wayne was struck by how what’s normal for him is not necessarily normal for someone else on his team.  The difference between intentions and actions, as Wayne heard on another episode of Andy Stanley’s Leadership Podcast, is that we judge ourselves based on our intentions. We judge others around us based on their actions. Where we might give ourselves a pass because we intended to do something but didn’t, we judge others based on they didn’t get it done today, and why didn’t they get it done today. Wayne shares an unsettling story about Dan Kennedy, and the impact it had on him to do what he says he’s going to do, and when he says he’s going to do it. The actions that we take every day, or the actions we don’t take every day, is what builds our lives, our businesses, and our careers. Wayne explains his takeaway from Marshall Goldsmith’s book, Triggers. Measuring performance and bringing balance to opposing forces. “The Field of Play” concept by Charles Coonradt, in The Game of Work. Terminal out of bounds - stealing, lying, cheating, etc. Operational out of bounds - things that are more infractions. You’re out of bounds but you’re going to get a warning, and need to step back into bounds. Wayne mentions his own “Ugly Mug Expectation Guide”, that applicants review during the hiring process. End zone - where you want the employees to get to. RRR (Results to Resources Ratio) - Goal Setting / Performance Measurement System  John Doerr outlines another form of Goal Setting / Performance Measurement System, called OKR (Objectives and Key Results), in Measure What Matters. John happens to be one of the first investors of Google. Profit goal Fulfillment or service goal Future work goal Creates a peer-to-peer accountability Wayne outlines his various meetings structures. When you set goals for a year’s period, it’s so far in the future that we tend to delay and put off until it’s too late to make progress toward those goals to actually reach it by the end of that year. In The Twelve Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months, by Brian P. Moran, Brian says that you should treat every 12-week period as if it were its very own year. Your question then becomes, what can you accomplish within the next 12 weeks? The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, by Patrick Lencioni, and why conflict matters. This is one of Wayne’s Top 10 books! You want to encourage healthy conflict!

Your business can and should run on automatic. You do it through a sequence of deliberate, small steps that build a business that will ultimately runs itself. Josh Fonger shares how. Welcome to episode 266 of the Entrepreneurship Elevated Podcast!

Do have dysfunction in your business? Are there things in your business that just aren't running smoothly, or in the way they should? If so, today's show might just blow your mind because Mike and Dr. Sabrina are talking systems with Josh Fonger, of Work the System. Mindset is crucial for business owners and entrepreneurs. In today's episode, Josh dispels many of the limiting beliefs that entrepreneurs have about systems. He also explains the concept that dysfunction in business is gold. Tune in now, to find out more. Plus...Dr. Sabrina is about to take a 6-week vacation. In today’s episode, she shares what she has done in the 6 weeks leading up to her vacation that is making things run more smoothly at Tap the Potential.   Josh Fonger is a Business Performance Architect and the co-founder of Work The System (WTS). As an international business consultant, coach, and speaker, he has had the unique experience of personally helping thousands of businesses grow systematically, using the WTS method. In a nutshell, he helps entrepreneurs make more and work less, using systems. Listen in today, to hear what Josh has to say about turning your business into a serene, peaceful, money-making machine. Show Highlights: Josh digs into what the concept that dysfunction is gold really means. Removing the emotional ties and learning to see the business as a separate entity. If you separate yourself from your business it becomes easier to analyze it from an outside and slightly elevated viewpoint. Finger-pointing and blaming in a business is a symptom of systems that need attention. Signs that you need a break from your business. Aligning priorities and the necessary time frame for implementing systems changes in their businesses. The kind of mistakes that people tend to make when they start having cash-flow problems. Transformation takes time. What it takes to make a new system stick. Creating a serene, peaceful, money-making machine, rather than creating chaos. It takes great leadership to implement change. How procedures evolve over time. Understanding your specific area of innovation for your business and using this awareness to guide the detail of your procedures. Josh recommends some places for documenting systems procedures for small businesses, based on the size of your business.  Why simple is better - getting past perfectionism. Josh gives some tips for business owners who are faced with some resistance from their employees towards new systems. Allowing different departments in your business to have different directives. A great way of dealing with employees who are consistently going against the company's principles. Creating a culture around your business strategies. Josh explains how systems in your personal life play into self-care.

Do you run your business or does your business run you? As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get buried in the details and lose sight of longer-term goals while you fritter away your time picking up the slack or fixing minor day-to-day issues. I admit that I get caught up in the minutia way too often. “Majoring in the minors and minoring in the majors,” as they say. Ideally, you should be working smart rather than hard by applying your genius on the highest value activities. The best and probably the only way to achieve scale is by building intelligent systems into your business. In other words, you should be working on your business, not in your business. On this episode number 197, my guest is Josh Fonger, high-performance business coach, speaker, and co-founder of Work the System. You may already be familiar with the name Work the System from the book of the same title, authored by Josh’s co-founder, Sam Carpenter. Josh will unpack for us some key principles and distinctions from the Work the System methodology. He’ll talk us through the three pillars of a systems mindset, how to think and act more strategically in your business, and how to clear your mind to really focus in on your vision.

Have you ever been stuck in an impossible situation in business?  Feeling like there is no way around the challenge you face? There is a mistake that most all small business owners make and in today's episode, Josh Fonger explains what this hidden mistake is and how to solve it.  Regardless of the business situation you're in, there is hope!   Also, in this podcast you'll hear some very important WTS announcements that you don't want to miss!

In this podcast Sam Carpenter, author of Work the System, interviews his business partner, Josh Fonger, about how to actually go about systemizing a business.  Since Josh has worked with hundreds of businesses around the world on their systems, he has some sage advice about what to do, how to do it, who should do it, and why to get it done.  There are a lot of folks who talk about the need for building systems in a business, but none that have done it with more entrepreneurs in more industries than Josh.  Make sure to listen to this podcast today and then see how your business grows!

What if you could build a fool-proof system to not only run your business but grow it in the process and with less stress?  Of course, most entrepreneurs would be excited to hear how! In this episode, Josh Fonger of Work the System, shares strategies of how getting on the other side of complexity can be the first step towards reducing stress, and in turn, making your staff more productive and the business scalable.  Josh will also discuss how to tap into the framework of strategy versus tactics; how aligning your business can reduce stress, the key employee every business should have to stay aligned, and some of his personal breakthroughs by using these strategies.
