Today's episode of the podcast is an interview with Sonaya Williams who is the founder of The CEO Partner®, a systems-driven, profits-obsessed, Digital Implementation agency that helps smart CEOs grow their business and meet their goals. Sonaya ​lives to help CEOs create an operational master plan for themselves and their teams, teaching efficient and effective systems and tools during the process. We talk all about how you can get your own business processes and systems organised to set yourself up for growth and success.   KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCAST  If something doesn't excite you and give you joy – it is not sustainable and you just won't do it! When something is your zone of genius, you are really good at doing it. When something isn't your zone of genius, there will be someone else who can do it! There is always someone who will want to do the bits that you don't want to do. It is never too early to start documenting your systems – even if it is just you. By documenting systems, you can free up your brain so you can think about growing your business! To start documenting your processes - Write out everything you do every day/week/month. Record yourself on Loom doing tasks you do again and again. Every process should be documented in a separate document to make it easy to search. Keep your processes updated and review them regularly. Team members have to take ownership of processes so they are not reliant on you and you are able to step out of the business. Think about the triggers for each process – are there any you can pass on to your team so you can step away? You have to have processes when you have a team, otherwise everything will still be reliant on you. When you are looking at hiring your first team member – think of it as an investment as you are gaining that time back. EVERYTHING in your business is a system. When something is a process, it becomes so much easier. It also means you can keep making it better and review. It will take time to get all your systems and processes in place but it will be SO worth it!   THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ABOVE ALL ELSE…  Start creating a list of things you do every day, then record yourself doing them!  HIGHLIGHTS YOU SIMPLY CAN'T MISS  An introduction to Sonaya 05:16 Zone of genius 10:55 Why do I need to think about my systems if it's just me? 12:32 How to start your processes 16:12 Being able to step away from your business processes 24:40 Bringing on a team and what to give them 28:08   CHECK SONAYA OUT:  https://theceopartner.com/ (Website) https://www.facebook.com/TheCEOPartner (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/theceopartner/ (Instagram)   RESOURCES MENTIONED  http://www.loom.com/ (Loom) https://trello.com/hellofromteresaheathwareing/recommend (Trello)   Transcript  Teresa: Welcome to this week's episode of the podcast. How are you doing? So I have had a very, very busy few weeks. And as you can probably hear from my voice, I am worn out and I'm really glad that I'm recording this episode now almost as if to say to remind you that we're human and there's only so much we can do with our time. Teresa: So the week, last week as I'm recording this, we did two online events and one in-person VIP retreat over the weekend, which was three days in total for me, because obviously I got there the day before. We had a lovely drinks, reception, we had dinner, um, there was about 20 over, it was so good. Then we had a whole day of goal setting, planning, masterminding. Teresa: It was brilliant. And then I spent the night again and, uh, obviously chilled out a bit, but then obviously then packed up the next day. And it was just absolutely awesome. I had the most amazing time, but I'm worn out, completely, utterly worn out. So this week I've been hibernating. That's my go-to thing. It can be really hard because sometimes when you want to hibernate, you think...

Sonaya Williams (pronounced: so-ni-yah), founder of The CEO Partner®, a systems-driven, profits-obsessed, Digital Implementation agency that helps smart CEOs grow their business and meet their goals. Sonaya started her Digital Implementation Agency in November of 2011 while still working full-time as a Senior Financial Systems Analyst at TD Ameritrade. Since then, she has built a multi six-figure consulting agency and learned a ton of good and bad lessons along the way. The CEO Partner solves the problems she knew so many business owners faced. Her message is clear - When we create systems + gather support, we build incredible, successful businesses AND happy Lives – for ourselves and the people we love. Sonaya lives to help CEOs create an operational master plan for themselves and their teams, teaching efficient and effective systems and tools during the process. She was featured in Forbes, Foundr and on the EonFire podcast.   Here's what we covered on the episode: Sonaya's Journey to Entrepreneurship  How Sonaya and I met through a mutual friend and how she's here to talk about creating a process to reach your goals without losing yourself in the process Sonaya shares that her background is in IT and before starting her business, she fell into her dream job of business process management in the banking industry, where she got to take the banks old spreadsheet processes and create new logical, efficient processes to help save the teams time     When Sonaya decided she wanted to have kids and stay home with them, she used her childhood as a driving force to create something different for herself and fell into entrepreneurship where she didn't have to work a traditional 9-5 job How Sonaya didn't know where to start with her business, so she went to networking events and ended up doing the same thing she did at work, helping people get the processes that are in their heads onto paper  The story of Sonaya's first client who sold office supplies to schools in Manhattan and whose biggest frustration was his salespeople having to make multiple trips to close a deal, but once Sonaya helped them with the process of documenting things, they were able to close deals in 1, maybe 2 visits which resulted in efficiency and more money Sonaya worked full-time and did her business part-time until she replace her salary with her business income in 9 months, then she did her business full-time and worked part-time until she was able to get her systems in place to know she could run her business consistently   The Business of Referrals + Sonaya's Quarterly Magazine  A year after starting her business, Sonaya left her job and hired her first virtual assistant and says she got her first 10 clients from finding 2 people who had really big lists of clients she wanted to work with — Sonaya started working with those 2 people, so they could promote a webinar she did to their list  Sonaya shares that her first webinar only had 2 people, but says the more webinars she did, the better she got, and soon she was able to generate leads and close them, which really helped her business grow   How Sonaya's business has grown off referrals and how she started doing quarterly client success panels which is how she continuously got clients every quarter and explains she now has a magazine she sends out each quarter   At the start of her business, Sonaya didn't take the design of everything as seriously but says now after having the magazine and her brand, she realizes how important design is, especially when it comes to having a higher-end brand   Sonaya explains the thought behind sending out a magazine and says she wanted a way to get in front of her agency clients who weren't on her newsletter and didn't listen to her podcast   Sonaya says her magazine is a playbook that has a different theme each quarter and offers her audience case studies, articles, tips, and plenty of resources — the theme for this quarter is how you can to still reach your year-end goals  How boundaries have been the most important thing for Sonaya in terms of being able to grow her business and still be sane for her kids and family   Agency Services + Membership Lab  Sonaya shares her team is made up of 5 women, some who are in the US and some who are in the UK, and shares that 60% of their clients are from the US, and the other 40% are from across Europe  On the agency side, Sonaya and her team work with a lot of service-based entrepreneurs who are trying to figure out out how to make new revenue online — Sonaya gives us an example of a current client  Sonaya's membership called Work Smarter Lab works with solopreneurs to put systems and strategies in place to create new revenue online  Because the agency has systems in place, creates consistent income, and delivers a solid service, it allows Sonaya to mostly lead and do sales on that side while the team is managing all of it  Sonaya says this is their second time launching the membership, and says that they provide members with two calls a week, new content in the lab every month, and team support and explains the team roles involved within the membership   As the end of the year comes, Sonaya is looking forward to taking 3 weeks off in December and says their goals include planning for a solid 2022 and looking to hire another project manager  The system Sonaya and her team follow called, Entrepreneur Operating System (EOS)  helps them plan goals weekly and quarterly and she shares they have an annual retreat for goal setting as well  While running a business at home with kids can be challenging at times, it gives Sonaya the flexibility she has always dreamt of  How the launch of the membership came about accidentally when Sonaya spoke at an event where she had to change her talk to accommodate the audience and create a lower-end offer, which ended up being the membership lab   Sonaya tells us about the event where she had to pivot her offer quickly and says she's learned that you have to go with the flow, otherwise opportunities might pass you by   Sonaya congratulates anyone who is in entrepreneurship because she knows it's hard work and says to just create your systems and boundaries and keep going  Go to becomeanonlineceo.com to get what

It may be a lack of system that is weighing you down.   This week, The Entrepreneurial You podcast invites Sonaya WIlliams to share her experience and expertise on “Business Process Management: How To Do It Effectively.”   Here is a snippet of what Sonaya shared: “A lot of people create businesses because they don't want to be in the corporate grind. They don't want to have to live to that 9 to 5 or they want to create their own schedule. Some people wanted to be away and do what they enjoy and not have to come back and be like at a nine-to-five. Maybe they want to work a couple hours a day or a couple hours a week. The only way you can do that is if you have the processes in place because the business still needs to run. Things still need to happen and you don't necessarily have to be the one to do that. If you have the system in place, they allow you the time freedom. They allow you to keep money on the table. Having processes and systems in place allows you to identify the support that you truly need because once you have the process down, you know what it's going to take to execute it. And you know, what kind of skills that person, whether it's a virtual assistant project manager, a launch manager, whoever, you know the skills that they need to execute.   Listen to the episode and let us know what is your biggest takeaway.   Connect with Host and Creator, Heneka Watkis-Porter   Email Instagram LinkedIn YouTube Twitter Facebook Website WhatsApp - 1876-849-2571   Support The Entrepreneurial You here fo US$5.00 monthly: https://glow.fm/tey.   Connect with Sonaya Williams:   FREE - The Get Paid Guide: The proven path for offline experts to create Reliable, Repeatable Revenue online.   Website LinkedIn Instagram Facebook   Visit our Sponsor: Jamaica Stock Exchange   SHOP The Entrepreneurial Store: https://henekawatkisporter.com/store/   BOOKS by Heneka Watkis-Porter: https://henekawatkisporter.com/books/   LEARN Podcasting: https://henekawatkisporter.com/learn/   Book Heneka Watkis-Porter to SPEAK: https://henekawatkisporter.com/speaking/   LISTEN to other podcast episodes: https://henekawatkisporter.com/teypodcast/   READ our blog: https://henekawatkisporter.com/blog/   Looking for spiritual upliftment?

Seamless systems are the cogs and gears that make every successful business run. When they work properly, they are finely tuned and seem magically effortless - but they don’t happen by accident. Seamless systems are something you, the business owner (and your team) have to intentionally create. Rosetta’s guest on this episode is Sonaya Williams and you might call her a systems and team guru. She specializes in putting together systems and processes that support and run business so that clients are cared for well, nothing falls through the cracks, and those who work within the business are happy and fulfilled in what they do. We all need this kind of stuff, don’t we? You won’t want to miss this conversation. Your business will live or die on the efficiency of the systems within it. All you have to do in order to see the vital nature of systems is to look around you. The created universe operates according to systems (though we don’t always call them that). The solar system, the water cycle, every human invention - all of them are governed and run by systems. When it comes to your business, the better your systems, the more profitable and stress-free your business will be. In this conversation, Sonaya Williams shares why she’s built a business to teach other business owners and entrepreneurs how to build and implement systems - and how she can help you get your business finely tuned and humming along. She’s even got a free gift for you that will enable you to find and hire the right team members, so be sure you listen. Need seamless systems? Start by creating a list of all the things you do. You won’t have a chance of building good systems for your business until you clarify exactly what it is you do and how you are presently doing it. The easiest way to do that is to begin making lists. You can jot down bullet-point outlines of the tasks you actually do or manage, in order to get an overview snapshot of what is on your plate. From there, begin prioritizing what needs to be systematized, optimized, or delegated first. Sonaya Williams is on the show to give you an idea of what seamless systems can do for you and your business. Your clients will be happier - and you will, too - so be sure to listen. In order to implement good systems in your business, you'll have to make a mindset shift. It’s one thing to recognize what smoothly working systems can do for your business. But it’s another to successfully implement them. Believe it or not, one of the things that often keeps entrepreneurs or business owners from implementing their carefully-devised systems is their own inability to let go of the work. It could be a tendency toward controlling everything that holds them back - or it might be good old perfectionism - but no matter the reason, a mindset shift is needed in order to bring good systems online and make them work. Rosetta's guest, Sonaya has a good deal of insight for you about how you can get over that hurdle, on this episode of Happy Black Woman. If you’re going to implement powerful systems you have to be willing to let go of the work. Most business owners are go-getters, people who can see what needs to be done and have the initiative and drive to make it happen. But that strength often comes with a downside: they believe that nobody can do the work as well as they can. The problem with that belief is that it’s seldom true. No doubt, they are talented but there are many things that go into making their enterprise run that they are not the best at. Letting go of the actual work that happens in your business is hard because it requires that you trust others and empower them to work on your behalf. On this episode of Happy Black Woman, Rosetta chats with Sonaya Williams about how to make that transition - and the two of them highlight the incredible benefits that come from making it. This one is a “must listen” episode for every wanna-be or current entrepreneur or business owner. Outline of this great episode [1:19] How Rosetta and Sonaya met (but not yet in person). [2:29] Sonaya Williams: Helping people find solutions and making them easy. [6:01] How Sonaya wound up in London. [8:23] What is a seamless system and how can you implement them in your business? [11:51] The mindset shift behind the implementation of systems and adding team members. [15:50] What are the best places to look for a great virtual assistant?
