In this episode of The Abundance Mindset, Vinney Chopra and Gualter Amarelo go deep on two absolutely critical factors for building a highly valuable business: systems and financeability. This is the tactical gold most business owners miss when trying to scale or prepare for an exit.   Vinney, who has scaled over 30 companies and built a $1.6B empire after starting with just $7, shares how building out detailed SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) not only frees his time but makes his businesses sellable at premium valuations. Gualter, author of Broke To A Quarter-Million, explains why most business owners unknowingly trap themselves by failing to structure their companies in ways that banks—and buyers—can finance.   In this game-changing conversation, you'll learn:

What if I told you that working just two and a half days a week could actually be your new normal? More time with your family, more energy for your passions, and more freedom to live—without sacrificing your income or impact. Sounds wild, right? But it's possible—and in this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down exactly how I pulled it off. First things first: I didn't start here. I used to grind nonstop—100+ hour workweeks, chasing big goals in the big city, feeling burned out and unfulfilled. Eventually, I hit a breaking point and knew something had to change. That's when I started to design my life on purpose. I created a weekly structure, tested out new systems, and got clear on what actually mattered. Over time, that led me to working just 2.5 days a week—with more results, more happiness, and more balance. Here's how it works: It's not just about the structure—it's about the systems. I use time-blocking religiously and follow Parkinson's Law: work expands to the time you give it. So I limit tasks on purpose. I use the Pomodoro technique—45 minutes of deep work, 15 minutes of rest. Apps like Sunsama and Notion help me plan my day with intention. I set just three “Most Valuable Tasks” each day and focus only on those. The rest? Either gets scheduled for later or let go.Delegation and automation are non-negotiables. I ask myself, “What would break if I stopped doing this?” If the answer is nothing, I cut it. For what's essential but not in my zone of genius, I delegate using the 10-80-10 rule: 10% to set it up, 80% delegated, 10% to review. I rely on tools like Zapier and an organized team to automate as much as possible. I also create SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for everything so I'm not the bottleneck. Once things are documented and repeatable, it's easy to scale without burning out.One big mindset shift that made this lifestyle possible? Realizing busy doesn't equal productive. I stopped glorifying hustle and started chasing impact. I focus only on the 20% of actions that create 80% of the results—whether that's nurturing partnerships, closing deals, or creating content that builds brand trust. If it doesn't move the needle, I say no.And speaking of “no”—boundaries are everything. I trained my team and clients to respect my schedule. I don't reply to business texts on Sundays. I protect off-grid time and unplug regularly to reset my nervous system. People quickly adapt when you set clear expectations—and you'll find you're actually more respected when you own your time.Was this shift easy? Nope. It took trial and error. I had to hustle hard at first to build the foundation. But now, with recurring income streams, dialed-in systems, and a focused schedule, I get to enjoy a life that's rich in time, not just money.So if you're tired of the grind and want more freedom without giving up your goals—start small. Time-block your ideal week. Identify your needle-moving tasks. Eliminate the noise. And build the life you actually want to live, one intentional move at a time.

I'm going solo in this episode because there's a lot of confusion, misinformation and even fear around working with angels as a Christian.  But mostly there's just a lack of awareness of these helpers God has provided to us as the heirs of salvation, as Hebrews 1:14 tells us.As with anything I do or teach, we do NOTHING without eyes on Jesus, and under His guidance.  I do NOT endorse engaging any spiritual beings outside of those the Lord has specifically assigned to you or introduced to you.  And, of course, relationship with the Godhead is the first thing we seek…even though we're invited to seek first His kingdom, I believe that means first AFTER seeking God himself.In Ephesians 3:10 it says that “through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.”I don't go into this in the episode, but essentially that means that spiritual beings may not already know all the multifaceted wisdom of God, and his plan is for us—the church—to reveal it to them.In fact, 1 Peter 1:12 says that angels long to peer into the affairs of men.  I love Romans 8:19 in the Passion Translation: “The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God's glorious sons and daughters!”Also, keep in mind that angels aren't used to working with us from the heavenly realms because most Christians have not taken their position as “seated in heavenly places with Christ” seriously.  From the encounters I've had either personally or with my clients, both angels and the people in white from the cloud of witnesses are very happy and excited to work with us.  It's just a new experience on both sides.  Fun times we live in!!That said, here are the juicy bits…HIGHLIGHTS:Partnering with Heaven in Business: Your business is a Kingdom venture, and Heaven is ready to co-labor with you. But like any partnership, relationship comes first, and then clear agreements—such as the Declaration of Trade, your covenant with Heaven.Angels Need Clarity Too: Unlike God, angels aren't omniscient. They need clear instructions, just like earthly employees. Although they are awe inspiring and incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful, don't assume they "just know" what you want—lay it all out.Operations Manual in Heaven: Just as businesses have SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), your business needs one in the spirit realm too. It really helps the angels out when goals and strategies have been documented.Clearly Identify Your Ideal Clients: If you don't define the people you really want to play in the sandbox with and can serve well in your heavenly business plan, angels won't know who to bring. Be specific about your Kingdom assignment and who you're called to serve.Angels Co-Labor with You, Not Instead of You: They won't replace your hustle, but they orchestrate divine connections while you do the footwork. Kingdom business is about faith and action.Time Chunking is a Spiritual Strategy: Time management isn't just practical—it aligns you with Heaven's flow. Writing time-blocking strategies into your heavenly operations manual (and sticking to them in your daily routine) helps your angelic team.Your Business has a Destiny: Before you ever had a business idea, Heaven already had a blueprint for it. You're not just making things up—you're walking out a divine plan. Be sure to receive it and unpack it with Holy Spirit.Scripture is a Business Growth Strategy: Like Psalm 103:20 says, angels move when you speak out God's Word over your business. Use personalized scripture as declarations to activate Heaven.A Cloud of Witnesses Are Cheering You On: You're not just building alone. Saints from generations past are invested in your success because your business is part of God's unfolding redemption plan.  Their destinies are not complete without us.Entrepreneurial Anointing is in Your Bloodline: If faithfulness runs through a thousand generations, that means you can call forth entrepreneurial blessings from your spiritual heritage. Your ancestors' prayers and breakthroughs aren't lost.Your Business is a Kingdom Solution: This isn't just about making money—it's about bringing Heaven to Earth. Your business is a solution to a problem God wants to fix, and your destiny scroll holds the blueprint to make it happen. Angels are assigned to help you.LINKS:– Transform your world by the words you think and speak.

Padraig O'Connor, Dairy Technician at Teagasc Grange joins Stuart Childs on this week's Dairy Edge to discuss the role of SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) on farms. Padraig explains that the SOP is a step by step guide to completing a task. They are suitable for many tasks on farms such as preparing for milking, milking itself, treating a cow with mastitis and how to wash the milking machine correctly amongst many others. SOPs are an extremely useful way of communication and can help avoid mistakes being made due to misunderstanding. While often associated with farms that employ people, they have an equally important role to play on owner operator farms to help during holiday periods, during busy periods where help is needed which may be family or externally sourced, but most especially in the event of any incident which renders the farmer unable to do tasks with little or no notice requiring people to jump in to help to keep the show on the road. Padraig says that it is as simple as taking a piece of paper and recording the steps to complete the task in question, then getting someone that is preferably not overly familiar with the task to follow the instructions and ‘road test' them. They may need tweaking and once happy with it, it should be laminated to make it waterproof and robust and placed in a visible location near the point of use. Padraig, Martina Gormley and Francis Quigley have some great information on SOPs and developing them for your own farm available at: https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/standard-operating-procedures/ For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

In this episode, we're opening up about something we all struggle with—control. Whether it's trying to manage things beyond our reach, like when someone else is driving, or figuring out why we're really upset, we'll walk you through Shauna's process for identifying the root cause of our frustrations.

In Todays episode, I dive deep into one of the most critical aspects of scaling a successful business: the power of frameworks and predictability. Over the past decade, I've learned firsthand that while entrepreneurs thrive on freedom and creativity, most of the people we hire crave clear systems and processes. I share how I've scaled my companies to over 110 staff members and the mistakes I made by not implementing structured frameworks early on. I wrongly assumed that managers would naturally develop efficient systems within their departments, but I discovered that without clear guidance from the top, things can quickly become chaotic, especially in the dynamic entrepreneurial world.I discuss how essential it is to establish robust frameworks in your business from the ground up, focusing on areas that will be critical for years to come, such as social media, recruiting, and sales funnels. By creating detailed SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and training materials, you can significantly reduce errors, streamline operations, and make delegation much easier. I emphasize the importance of starting with a flowchart to visualize the entire process, then breaking it down into core deliverables, and finally creating comprehensive SOPs for each step. This approach not only simplifies your business but also prepares it for scalable growth, ensuring that your team is equipped to operate efficiently and effectively from day one.CHAPTER TITLES 00:45 - The Importance of Frameworks in Business02:15 - Overview of the Growth Framework04:00 - Key Components of the Growth Framework06:30 - The Role of Data in Driving Business Growth08:45 - How to Implement a Business Growth Framework11:20 - Real-World Examples of Framework Application14:10 - Measuring Success: KPIs and Metrics16:00 - Adapting Frameworks to Different Industries17:50 - Case Study: A Look at a Growing Business19:10 - Case Study: Successful Implementation of a Marketing Framework21:45 - Common Challenges in Maintaining Business Frameworks23:30 - The Role of Leadership in Framework Adoption25:05 - The Future of Frameworks in Business GrowthConnect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter

Key Takeaways: Consistency in Operations: SOPs ensure that products and services maintain high consistency, enhancing customer trust and satisfaction. Ease of Business Sale: Potential buyers are more attracted to businesses with well-documented procedures, enabling a smoother transition and maintaining business value. Freedom through Discipline: Structured procedures free up business owners' mental energy, allowing for greater creativity and strategic planning. Gradual Implementation: Start with the most critical processes and build SOPs incrementally to avoid overwhelm and ensure sustainability. Technological Integration: Utilizing technology for SOP management can streamline operations and make it easier for new employees to adapt quickly.   Chapters: Timestamp Summary 3:21 Importance of Standard Operating Procedures for Business Success 6:32 Creating Sustainable and Repeatable Standard Operating Procedures 9:07 Streamlining Business Compliance with Technology and SOPs 10:28 Overthinkers, Decision-Making, and Creativity in Business 11:34 Consult Financial Advisors Before Implementing Investment Strategies Powered by ReiffMartin CPA and Stone Hill Wealth Management   Social Media Handles    Follow Phillip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip)   Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/   Thank you for checking out our free content on financial planning, the wealth mindset, and investing in innovation.

« Il faut bien mesurer quel est le coût de l'erreur. » Savoir déléguer, c'est comprendre son business en vue de le remettre - et de s'en remettre - à quelqu'un d'autre. C'est aussi faire confiance à l'”autre” de manière à ce qu'il ou elle puisse s'épanouir et, ce faisant, remplir la mission qui lui a été transmise. En principe, l'objectif est clair: celui ou celle qui délègue gagne du temps pour se concentrer sur d'autres activités, à priori à forte valeur ajoutée. Alors pourquoi est-ce parfois si compliqué de déléguer? C'est la question de la semaine pour ce nouveau Caffè Croissance. DIGI-TALES Et vous, quel est votre truc pour recruter un bon vendeur? Retour sur le concours proposé dans l'épisode Du Hunter au Farmer, l'art de recruter un vendeur. Le réseau de contacts reste le mode d'interactions privilégié par les participants au sondage. Gagnant du concours pour remporter le livre “L'intranquillité” de Marion Muller-Collard: Lucien D. basé à Vevey. Encore bravo! Delegate like a pro with Loom and ChatGPT: create SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) with one prompt Air Canada reconnu responsable des hallucinations de son chatbot Il était une petite start-up française, Mistral AI, qui veu grandir LA QUESTION DU JOUR: pourquoi est-ce si compliqué de déléguer? - Le défi autour des compétences: attention, ce sont souvent les compétences interpersonnelles qui font la différence… NB: les compétences métiers et/ou techniques peuvent plus facilement faire l'objet d'un assessment (évaluation), formel ou pas, en amont. Cas concret: un cahier des charges rédigé et validé saura certainement vous aider. - Le défi du ‘Chef d'orchestre' face à l''instrumentiste': lorsqu'un expert dans son domaine prend du grade - en passant par exemple du poste de Sr. Controller à CFO au sein du département Finance - il peut avoir du mal à orchestrer l'équipe… en particulier lorsqu'il s'agit d'anciens collègues (!) Cas concret: le business developer qui passe Sales Manager… - Le défi autour du lâcher-prise: c'est une chose de se sentir dépassé, c'en est une autre que d'être prêt à remettre le volant à un autre conducteur. La notion de ‘Pouvoir' (pas le verbe, le nom) n'est pas étrangère à cela: perdre sa position suppose parfois un deuil. Cas concret: nouveau COO chez Calyps? - Le défi de la transmission: comment éduquer le nouveau sans lui faire ombrage? Trop souvent, on en reste au stade de l'information insuffisante à une bonne délégation. Une bonne formation suppose aussi le temps de pouvoir faire des erreurs (formatrices, justement!) Cas concret: un abruti de Trade Marketing Manager qui fit perdre un client corporate sous les yeux de WarcoBrienza… en un coup de téléphone! - Le défi de la communication qui reste un outil-clé pour asseoir une bonne délégation: en interne comme en externe, elle doit être assimilée par les principaux protagonistes (qui peuvent la faire échouer autrement). Cas concret: la communication officielle de Calyps sur son nouveau COO - Le défi par l'externalisation, où quand les C-level sont proposés as a service. Cas concret: CMO, CSO, COO - Le nouveau défi posé par l'IA: l'automatisation de la délégation, comme présenté ci-dessus dans nos Digi-tales!

In this episode, delve into the "Three-Pronged Approach To Product Launch" with Joshua Rawe, Co-Founder of AmpliSell. As a former Amazon seller turned industry expert, Joshua shares invaluable strategies, from mastering product design to fostering a robust company culture. Explore the significance of pride and results, and gain insights into distinguishing busyness from productivity. With practical tips on journaling for continuous improvement, this podcast is your go-to guide for navigating the Amazon marketplace successfully. Takeaways :Product Design and Development: Emphasizes the importance of building a product design that stands out. Discusses the efforts required to get a product on the shelf at major retailers like Walmart.Company Values and Culture: Stresses the significance of company values and culture. Highlights the role of defining values to build a strong company culture.Focus on Pride and Results: Introduces the two key values: "Pride" and "Results." "Pride" encourages doing the job in a way that makes you proud, avoiding defensive statements like "I've done my best." "Results" emphasizes always having something to show for, focusing on productivity and tangible outcomes.Differentiating Between Busyness and Productivity: Differentiates between working hard and getting a lot done.Recommends keeping a daily journal to track accomplishments rather than just feeling busy. Advocates for a mindset shift towards recognizing and valuing tangible results.Daily Journaling for Productivity: Suggests maintaining a daily journal to record tasks and achievements. Gives examples like sending sales emails, educating team members, and creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) as valuable tasks.Continuous Improvement: Encourages continuous improvement by evaluating and adjusting strategies.Quote of the Show:In external traffic, I focus on warm and cold strategies. Warm traffic includes your email list and existing customers. For a new product, like a Bluetooth kettle, redirecting a small portion of this warm traffic to Amazon is an investment. Despite a slight margin sacrifice, it yields long-term sales, better rankings, and reviews – a double whammy for ROI. Links :Website: https://www.amplisell.com/ | LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/amplisell/mycompany/?viewAsMember=trueAmazon often loses inventory or overcharges fees.

Are you looking for fresh ideas to shake up your nonprofit and grow your impact? If so, then you're in luck! Special guest and founder of Humble Design, Treger Strasberg, is sharing all the different ways she's shaking up the nonprofit world like…  how she communicates with her donors, and using empathy, dignity, and creativity as part of her nonprofit's mission. She also dives into how she's been able to grow her nonprofit beyond Detroit to Chicago, Cleveland, Seattle, and San Diego by having set standard operating procedures. Treger also tells us how she's inspiring those outside of her organization to get involved and sharing a huge mindset shift she experienced that completely changed the way she communicates with donors.  About Treger Treger did not set out to create a national nonprofit or fill a hole in the continuum of care for homeless individuals. She did not plan on establishing a system that would help thousands of veterans, women, children, and families to stop the revolving door of homelessness for them. She had no intention of connecting with countless volunteers and supporters who shared her life view of leading with empathy and dignity. She just wanted to help a friend in need. To date, Humble Design has furnished over 3,200 homes for over 9,100 hard-working moms, dads, kids, and veterans exiting homeless shelters. Families who have benefited from the home furnishings from Humble Design have had a 99 percent success rate of remaining in their homes. Humble Design was born out of the belief that families emerging from homelessness deserve to come home each day to a clean, friendly, and dignified home. Treger is honored to have been nominated for two Emmys for the TV show “Welcome Home,” which follows Treger and her husband Rob through the process of changing a family's life through design. She has been awarded ABC World News Person of the Week, Volunteer of the Year in Michigan, Woman of Distinction in California, IIDA Business Innovator, TCH Diversity Award, the Lighthouse Salute America Award, Optimist Club's Ruby Award, Girl Scout of America's One Tough Cookie Award, Make your Marc award by Marc Fisher, and Oakland County Executive's Elite 40 Under 40, and others.   Read the podcast transcript here.   Episode Summary In this episode, you'll learn how Treger Strasberg of Humble Design is shaking up the nonprofit world including:  Diving head first into the nonprofit world (5:55) Changing the nonprofit landscape with creativity (8:30) Providing dignity and empathy to families experiencing homelessness (13:00) Growing your nonprofit's impact and empowering others across the country to help (18:40) The importance of SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) (23:30) Finding inspiration in the nonprofit world (25:55) Changing the way you communicate with donors (28:00)   Teasers “I didn't want to just stick with any furniture that came my way. I wanted it to be dignified and respectful because she was my friend.”   “Those stories, for me, have opened up my eyes that this is an epidemic in this country that's coming down, whether we like it or not. Ans it is not just drug-addicted, mentally ill individuals who are struggling with being unhoused. One in four individuals in the United States are going to struggle with homelessness at some point in their life.”   “We're still governed by this archaic system that feels frustrating because our minds are living in this one world yet our financial statements are being judged in this other world.”   Resources Visit the Humble Design website: www.humbledesign.org  Connect with Treger on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/treger-strasberg-80020841/    Follow all five Humble Design cities on Instagram:  @humbledesignsandiego @humbledesigndetroit @humbledesignnational @humbledesignchitown @humbledesignseattle @humbledesigncleveland   FREE Finance Routine Checklist: https://100degreesconsulting.com/routine/  Keep up to date with the podcast: @100degreesconsulting Follow Stephanie on Instagram: @stephanie.skry/  Connect with Stephanie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanieskryzowski/  Visit the podcast page: https://100degreesconsulting.com/shaking-up-the-nonprofit-world    Want more of the podcast?

Have you ever wondered what makes a truly unforgettable experience stand out from the usual client interactions that often end up looking pretty much the same? It's not just the fancy website or the five-star venue or the fancy menu. The answer might surprise you, but it's all about intuitive service and brand standards. It's about understanding that clients aren't just looking for transactional interactions, but for a deeply personalized and memorable journey, and brands like the Ritz, the French Laundry, and The Four Seasons know this all too well.Brand Standards are not SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). They are the heart and soul of your business, the essence of what you represent, and the promise you make to every client. While SOPs are about the mechanics of running your operations, Brand Standards are about the values, principles, and unique qualities that define who you are as a brand. They guide your team in delivering an unparalleled, consistent experience that's impossible to copy, setting you apart from the crowd and elevating your brand to a whole new level….  not just in terms of services provided, but in terms of the emotions and memories you help create. But how do your set these brand standards?Emily Coyne Events | instagram | Tiktok---Today's episode is brought to you by The Planner's Vault.

When starting a business, most entrepreneurs do everything, and that's fine because the business operations are limited and manageable. But when you scale up, the responsibilities and tasks increase too. If you don't get help, you will limit your success and end up overworked and frustrated. A business leader like you should focus your time and effort on high-dollar-value tasks. Time-consuming and repetitive tasks that can be done by someone else must either be delegated or outsourced.Today, I discuss how you, as a business owner, can save hundreds of hours of work by utilizing virtual assistants. If you are hesitant to outsource tasks for fear that they won't be done correctly, let me walk you through how to create SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and find reliable people who can do the work for you.

The key steps are "make, manage, multiply," as Ryan often teaches. Once you can make $250K per year on your own, focus on the "manage" stage, which is what this video expounds upon.Small businesses have more risk, so the goal is to go big. The visionary is the CEO, setting the company's big vision and being a great leader. The integrator is the COO, executing the vision and ensuring day-to-day operations align with it. Think of employees as investments, hiring people better than you at tasks that consume your time.Marketing is the first funnel for deals. The head of marketing should handle KPIs, budgets, and lead generation. Sales come next, tracking KPIs to ensure salespeople perform with quality leads. Operations (OPS) handles administrative tasks, transaction coordination, and more. Dispositions focus on exit strategies. All these departments constitute the workings of your business. If you are a solopreneur, you are performing all of these jobs yourself and you might be ready to hire a team.To scale successfully:1. Hire top-down.2. Focus on core values when choosing employees.3. Train daily.4. Hire fair players.5. Hire people with no ego.6. Ensure employees are in the right roles.7. Create clear SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures).Following these steps will help you conquer the "manage" stage and build a successful real estate business!

Hi, friends welcome back to another podcast episode. This week we're going to talk about the five things that you should do right away when setting up your REI business. This episode is near and dear to us as we're both guilty of missing a few steps along the way when we were getting started! Even if you've already established an REI business, putting these five things into practice will make a massive difference in your business in the long run. #1 BookkeepingWhether you're choosing to outsource your bookkeeping or do it yourself, make sure you set yourself up for success by starting your bookkeeping processes early. We highly recommend using QuickBooks, but there are so many options on the market if it's not in your budget. When it comes to setting up your QuickBooks or bookkeeping software, we also recommend that you hire a professional to set it up, that way you could choose to self-manage it and do the updating, categorizations, etc. as you go, to give you a hands-on look your finances on a regular basis. Along with hiring a bookkeeper, we also recommend finding a CPA who is well-versed in real estate tax processes. #2 Open A Business Bank Account & Credit CardWe both prefer Capital One because you can generally get approved even without a business credit history and their app is very user-friendly, allowing you to easily see all of your finances in one place. Ideally, we recommend having one account per business entity. #3 Create Business ProfilesOne of the first things you absolutely need is an email address. We also recommend getting a Google Voice number to keep your personal number, personal. You also might consider setting up a PO Box so you don't have to give out your personal address if you don't have an office space, and bonus points if you set up your business social media accounts! #4 Get Setup On A Property Management SoftwareThis is another one of those things we recommend starting early because it will make your life so much easier in the long run. Using a property management tool will allow you to house all of your tenant communication, collect rent, get leases signed, and so much more, and keep everything organized and in one place. Tenantcloud has an excellent free version we recommend checking out. One of the biggest perks of property management tools is that late fees are automatically applied to rent, so you don't even have to think about applying them when rent is past due. #5 Create Your SOPsStart out by creating a checklist of everything you're doing; what happens and when. Document all of your processes: everything you do in your business day to day, month to month, week to week, year to year.  These checklists become your SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and what allows you to do things like train future employees, hire a property manager, or just keep yourself accountable. It should contain the ins and outs of how you run your business and can be as simple as a Google doc. Having SOPs in place helps to decrease decision-making and make sure that things don't slip through the cracks. As we say: learn from our mistakes. don't do what we did but heed our advice and put these into practice now;  you'll thank us later.That's all we have for you this week. We appreciate each of you tuning in every week and if you haven't we would really appreciate it if you would leave us a review wherever you listen to your podcasts. Reading each review brings us so much joy and really helps us get to know our audience a little bit better. We will catch you in the next episode!  Resources:Use TenantCloud for your REI bizLeave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

What problem do you solve? Business owners often complain about lack of time, and the best way to combat this is to create processes. Liz can show you how to create these in 10 extra minutes a day. Show Notes: Liz started with the operations mindset and organization as a child of a large family. It gave her a start in organizing. She also put her strengths to use in her and her husband's brewery business. They realized they needed to put SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) in place to get their business to run well without putting in excessive hours. Liz and her husband's business thrived and they were able to be away from it without worries while they were gone. The challenge is that most business owners are visionaries but they don't enjoy or excel at putting systems and processes in place. It is easier to get a system in place when you start with the end in mind. It's important, when you are building an SOP, that you consider what the end result is every step of the way. There are 2 parts to documenting your SOPs Make them easy to access and use and post them everywhere Have a discussion within your document. Liz uses Google Docs so that it is easy to track the evolution of the SOP. You can also track the history comments. The business owner needs to remove themselves as the bottleneck. Delegate and create leaders. It's also a mindset issue. The business owner needs to learn to lead and let go of their ego. One of the biggest things to start with is the curiosity game. Consider how things would go if you put change in place. Use curiosity instead of judgment. How to put a process in place in 10 minutes. Use 10 minutes every day. Put the 10 minutes on your calendar and then remove all of your distractions Make sure your employees are working on this too. Decide on Monday what one simple process you will work on and what your end vision and goal is for this process. If it is successful, what will happen and what will it look like? On Tuesday, write down all the tools, programs, and software related to this particular process. Wednesday you will write a bird's eye view or a summary of the process. On Thursday, you add any necessary detail. You expand on what you wrote on Wednesday, and you may want to add videos or other details. On Friday you add feedback. You will set a test date of the process and fix any issues. Liz Chism's Best Small Business Tip: Really home in on the 80/20 rule. What is the 20% you do that gets you the 80% of your results? Focus on that. Connect with Liz Chism: Website: lizchism.com Liz has a 90-day training.

A standard operating procedure will have a long-term impact. If you don't have clear SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for all the things you do in your business you're in trouble. Here's why: - You won't be able to scale - You can't take a vacation - You can't promote anyone on your team - It takes FOREVER to train new staff - You field a million questions every day that suck your time - You'll never be able to take a step back from operations …the list goes on Not having clear SOP's is why your business is a mess. But if you don't have them, it's not your fault. Because no one told you where to start, how to create them, how to have your SOP's evolve with the business, or WHO IN THE HELL would be creating all of these things? However, now all of your obstacles are irrelevant. Someone has figured out how to get around all those challenges and more. His name is Tom Hughes and he's going to open your mind to the possibility of SOP's that are highly effective and practically create themselves. To learn Tom's brilliant approach to these age-old challenges, watch this week's episode. Episode Highlights: - The reason why you can't predictably grow a business without SOP's - How much value SOP's will give to the sale price of the business and peace of mind to the owner - The 3 keys most owners miss when implementing SOPs that lead to a giant waste of time and money - How to foster ownership and buy-in from the team by implementing bottom-up rather than top-down SOP creation - How to put SOPs at the point of use to make sure they actually get used instead of collecting dust - Lastly, how to make the update process easy so that your SOPs grow with your business instead of falling out of date Watch the episode on PCA Overdrive PCA Overdrive is free for members.

On today's episode of the podcast we're diving into how different systems in your business can help you increase your profit and help you achieve your personal business goals. Don't forget, I'm offering a free trial of the Profit Rx VIP Tier. You'll get a 1:1 with me, bookkeeping help, office hours and so much more, all part of the free trial, a $100 value, free for 30 days. Hurry, the free trial ends November 11. Recently, I've interviewed business owners, like Haley Johnson and Rachel Greiman about their profit reports. Haley shared with me about how she was on a journey to make as much revenue as possible. Then last year, she felt like the script flipped and people were focused on profit. Rachel shared in her episode she didn't mind making lower profit as long as she was paying herself the money she needs to sustain her life and after that she is willing to spend whatever she needs to hire more and work less in her business to spend time with her family. These conversations got me thinking about something that's been on my mind. When I'm talking about profit-driven anything, I'm talking about it in the context of you. What are your goals and what profit do you need to support them? It's about optimizing your margins in relationship to how hard you want to work and it looks different for everyone. You have to ask yourself, for example, is a task worth saving time on by having a VA do it, or is it more worth them spending that same amount of time on a sales-generating task. Sometimes we sacrifice profit in order to have more free time. I teach this concept in Module 4 of Profit Rx (Your Profit Recipe) where I talk about finding your profit sweet spot where we compare hours worked to profit and revenue. Speed, cost, and quality - typically you can only get two of the three and I think the same applies to sacrificing hours worked for profit. What do profit-driven systems look like? 1. They can look like keeping track of your numbers (reflect back on episode 251) so you know what your target for expenses is per month. You can also look at your list to decide what expenses are saving you time and which you aren't using (or using enough) for them to help save you time and money. 2. Managing your time and spending it on what's going to make the biggest waves in your business. This can look like off-loading lower value tasks (tasks that will make you less money than other tasks). 3. Clear communication with your clients and team. A lot of profit falls through the cracks if you aren't clearly communicating expectations. 4. SOPs - Standard Operating Procedures make it easier to outsource and save a ton of time. When your team saves time, you save contractor expenses. 5. Tracking KPIs - Key Performance Indicators. These are your metrics and these numbers supplement your bookkeeping. Your books tell you what's happened and your KPIs tell you where there may be issues so you can anticipate your numbers next month. This might look like sign-ups, email opens, conversation rates, etc. Inside Profit Rx I teach this system to streamline your business. We set up your bookkeeping, then we set up your legalities to protect your profits, then we set up a cash flow system to pay yourself, your expenses, and track your profitability . Then we get into taxes, hiring and profitable systems as bonus content. Looking ahead, in December we are launching our first ever done-for-you service offering. It's going to be a launch because it's going to be a cohort because we are onboarding our clients at the same time so you are all at similar stages in the process at the same time and we can offer optional group elements like live training. If you join the Profit Rx VIP Trial now, at the end of your trial we can asses what you've completed, what your best next steps are, is it better for you to stay in the VIP membership, upgrade to done-for-you services or downgrade to the Profit Rx basic tier.

Are you an interior designer struggling with organization and project management? Tonya Thomas joins us today to share some tips and tools that she's used to help CEOs grow their teams from 1 employee to 50, lead multi-million-dollar revenue growth, and free up their time to oversee major expansion projects. Also in this episode, Tonya explains how hiring a virtual assistant is the key to a complete organizational overhaul. Tonya Thomas is the founder of Team Delegate, a provider of elite virtual executive assistant support to seasoned executives turned small business owners. Tonya is a speaker, 20+ year business owner, and host of the Unbottleneck Your Business podcast. She excels in helping CEOs grow their teams from 1 employee to 50, lead multi-million-dollar revenue growth, and free up their time to oversee major expansion projects. *** ⭐️Why are systems important for businesses? Systems create consistency and organization! A lot of times we have systems in place and don't realize it - for example, if you have an assistant that manages your calendar through Google Calendars or Outlook, that's a system! Your system consists of the tools that you use, and how you use the tools. ⭐️SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) are super important to put in place for your business. They create organization, and they're also helpful in case of turnover - you won't need to utilize your time to train new hires because a well-created SOP can be used effortlessly for onboarding. It's important that your SOPs are both written and visual, because everyone learns differently (adding in videos can help visual learners). Creating SOPs can also help identify issues within your overall workflow and ultimately allow you to smooth out your processes. ⭐️Some helpful project management tools are Asana, Monday.com, and Teamwork. Tonya personally uses Teamwork for projects. Even if it's just you and one other person, having a project management system is crucial because it organizes your work. When you're working with others, especially if it's remote, a project management system really helps create cohesion and consistency as you're working together virtually. ⭐️What's a virtual assistant, and do I need one? If you're someone who doesn't necessarily need a full-time employee, but are seeking some help in managing your calendar and other tasks, an executive virtual assistant can work for you. Your company can either be in person or remote, it doesn't matter - a virtual assistant can help both! An assistant will help create systems for your business, and also research project management and organization tools that suit you and your team. ***

When starting your business, often, you still need to get systems and processes in place, and everything is in your head. But if your long-term goal is to grow your business, then creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) would serve you well. First, it is easier to replicate your original products and services if you have SOPs in place, saving you time and training costs as you grow your team. Second, SOPs also protect the quality of your output. Finally, after building your SOPs, you can turn them into your proprietary blueprint or playbook, which will be a strong foundation for your growth plans. So how do you start building SOPs? In this episode, Tom speaks with Adam Lyons, a serial entrepreneur who runs 16 businesses and provides business coaching to CEOs of top companies. Adam has developed https://thesmartblueprint.com/ (The SMART Blueprint), a proven framework for business owners who want to scale their businesses. He also hosts a podcast called https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/smart-businesses-do-this/id1606008411 (SMART Businesses Do This). So tune in and learn from someone who has done it over the years.  “I've realized that laziness is a superpower. My laziness makes me efficient because I will not waste energy. I'm just now a hyper-productive lazy person.” (9:35) - Adam Lyons   In This Episode: Meet Adam Lyons, serial entrepreneur and creator of The SMART Blueprint What did Adam do before he got involved in mergers and acquisitions? How does Adam structure things to be able to run 16 businesses and still have personal time?  Adam's strategy to identify your ideal clients and get your business off the ground  How upsells add value to your clients and make them rely on you for everything they need in their business And much more… Connect with Adam Lyons: Phone: +1-512-957-3141 Website: https://thesmartblueprint.com/ (https://thesmartblueprint.com/) Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/groups/smartbusinessesdothis (https://web.facebook.com/groups/smartbusinessesdothis) Connect with Tom Gaddis: Website: https://remotemillionaires.com/ (https://remotemillionaires.com/) Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/remotemillionaires (https://web.facebook.com/remotemillionaires) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/remotemillionaireslifestyle/ (https://www.instagram.com/remotemillionaireslifestyle/)

A couple of years into wedding photography, there was a big buzz around pre-wedding gifts and fluffing up the client experience. The problem was that I ended up spending a lot of time figuring out what to put in the gifts, shopping, and packaging everything up. Then, remembering to send them. It all added up to making way too many low-impact decisions, which limited the high-impact decisions I could make that day. The solution to decision fatigue is SOPs - Standard Operating Procedures. By establishing a procedure for your repeatable processes, you minimize your decision making because the small decisions are all made ahead of time. There are only a handful of tasks that only you can handle. The rest could be automated or delegated.  The 6 most impactful SOPs in a business are: Overall project workflow so you don't have to try to remember what comes next Sales process - questionnaires, scheduling links, welcome kits, consult checklist Getting paid - contracts, invoices, and following up if someone doesn't sign Keeping track of tasks - sticky notes won't cut it! Yearly planning workflow - set goals for the year and each quarter, review previous goals, and dissect why they were or weren't met Keeping track of finances - at the very least, a profit and loss spreadsheet This is all part of putting your big kid pants on. By expending less energy on the small decisions, you'll be much better off as an artist and as a business owner. Come say hi on IG https://www.instagram.com/abbygracephoto/ (@abbygracephoto)!

Much has been written and available about the necessity for position descriptions and what is the right format. Here is the difference we bring to the feast - the most important element of position descriptions is it must be process based. Show Objective Given a complete set of process maps and standard operating procedures, you will create a position description that is challenging, accurate, and enables job fit - right person in right role. EPISODE 53: Summary Most businesses create organizational charts and write descriptions based on the function. You work in finance or service and describe the job within a silo; we know different. All businesses are processed based, which leads to a different orientation to work. Instead of fumbled handoffs between departments, everyone is focused on making things better and faster than the competition, which leads to higher quality and better margins. Based on your work building value maps of each process and then creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) each position is nothing more than a list of those responsibilities. This is essential in smaller businesses that cannot afford over staffing, defects, and poor margins.

Being an entrepreneur can sometimes be equated to a cat chasing it's tail while shitting up the side of the wall of the kitty litter box with no end in sight.  It seems a bit graphic, but if you've ever experienced that level of chaos in your life, you're probably living an entrepreneur's most loved and feared life.  There are things that have to be done, no matter what. Today, you get to meet an entrepreneur who made his way out of the catbox and into a life by design.  Josh Meunier is a serial entrepreneur, Sales Manager, and Coach with WinRate Consulting working one on one with sales teams and business owners to find the path of least resistance in business.  He is the founder of Free Space Studio, a design firm that works with architects to create indoor and outdoor spaces for homeowners and business owners to enjoy year around. Today, Tom and Josh jump right in and discuss a very vulnerable moment Josh had while he was at the gym unable to keep from physically hurling from overworking himself during a fitness routine.  Josh shares how this has helped to keep his mind and body in alignment and equip him with the Level 10 clarity most business owners have to have to survive in today's economy.  It's the way he's dealt with the stresses and pressures of entrepreneurship.  Josh and Tom talk quite a bit about the early days of starting a business, generating sales, and then finally systematizing it to keep up with demand and manage fulfillment.  Josh talks about how his work began years before when he went to Halcyon bar in Dallas to make drawings he'd later convert to 3-D.  A chance meeting allowed him to get in front of many builders and architects that would help transform the course of his life into a thriving business.  You'll learn that Josh is a consultant who works with many business owners to streamline processes to make their businesses more efficient while creating more time for them to work on the things they truly love.    What You'll Learn:    The power of systemization and how it can change your business What Josh was doing with a notepad at Halcyon bar every Friday night in Dallas  How Josh used 3-D to create the answer to a much-needed call Why it's important to not be afraid of learning the process The moment Josh realized he lost his passion for what he was doing and the next move he made once he realized this The importance of having high standards Employee Training is the key to helping you free up your time and never answer the same question twice, ever again Unlocking employee retention through continuous training   How producing SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) will keep you from having to train every single person in your company  Why Josh pushes himself so hard in the gym And much more! Favorite Quote: “Sometimes you're going to have people that have never even heard of you. They're so early on in the process that they don't understand the true value that's going to come through. Through that social media be that Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or whatever you put out there, that's where they're starting to realize like, this guy's a human being. Their whole team is sharing messages and the value that you're getting out of this is what's making you want to join this network.”      Josh Meunier   Connect with Josh: Free Space Studio Josh Meunier    How To Get Involved: From his start in the GPS tracking industry to founding the Step It Up Academy, Tomas Keenan is on a mission to break out of the concept of “average” and reach the success that is anything but.

As an elder millennial, TikTok as a platform scares and upsets me. I'm not really sure how to use it to grow my audience (if it even can) and I'm worried it's just going to be a huge time suck. But according to Rebecca Simon, if your business isn't on Tiktok, it's a huge missed opportunity. SO naturally, I asked her how a small business owner can make the most of the platform; Rebecca offered some of the best advice I've heard for any social network! So if you're wondering how you can grow your audience through TikTok, this episode is for you. Plus, in Build Something More, I ask Rebecca how some of my favorite Tiktoks were made. Top Takeaways It's important to have the right SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) in place with VAs, employees, or even just yourself.The direction all social media is moving in is video. Instagram rebranded as a "video" platform, and TikTok is leading the charge. That's why it's so important to be there.The biggest benefit is TikTok is pushing you to new people. Discovery is much better on that platform that on follower-centric platforms like Instagram. Show Notes: Rebecca SimonRebecca on TiktokRebecca on InstagramBuild Something Club

I’m an ideas guy, not a process guy. Which is why I’m so excited to share the wisdom of a fellow entrepreneur, Trent Dyrsmid, with a totally different approach to business than I have. I love the feeling of building something new, figuring out how to make it work and getting it out into the world. EXPLAINING how I did it or how to make it better? Not my bag. Which, to be honest, makes scaling a business harder than it should be. I know, rationally, that SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) are crucial for business success... but I’ll be damned if I have the time or patience to build them. Enter our hero, Trent. An unassuming Canadian transplant, Trent is a different kind of entrepreneur than I am. He's a process nerd who figured out how to make creating...and USING... SOP's easy. I know this because we are now making all sorts of SOP's with his baller app, Flowster. Resources & Links From This Episode: - Check Out Flowster - Connect With Trent on LinkedIn _________ About Our Guest: Trent Dyrsmid is a serial entrepreneur, husband, and father.

Implementing clear, specific SOPs can be a total savior for your business. If this is not your current practice, you will definitely want to keep watching to strike out your cluttered routine!

These are 5 SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), that I encourage you to wire into your daily life through consistent practice, because as you know so well, consistency is the mother of mastery. It's not what you do once every year that is going to allow you to live a legendary life, it's what you do every single day.

Rob Nickell stumbled upon the concept of virtual assistants accidentally while struggling to escape the day to day grind of his own real estate business.  Now almost ten years later, he has perfected how to hire virtual assistants and built a thriving business around helping others do the same.   Listen as Steve interviews Rob on how his company Rocket Station executes an astonishing 48,000 hours of workforce labor every WEEK for business owners all over the world - all done remotely in a virtual environment while maintaining a strong focus on culture and core values. Research Note: A recent Gartner poll showed that 48% of employees will likely work remotely at least part of the time after COVID-19 versus 30% before the pandemic. Key Takeaways:    Starting out in real estate, owning a job not a business.  In 2013 when he was wholesaling in Houston, oil business changed and his business plunged. He knew then that he had to understand that he was just hustling. Understanding market cycles  What it takes to make it as a real estate investor Recognizing the signs that you should pivot your business Understanding your PNL and factoring in time as money Starting a new business His first virtual hire was a lead manager, but he freaked out having someone else answering the phone. What he realized quickly, even if the person was 70% as good as he was, he was doubling his volume.  Implementing systems and processes before hiring employees to scale your business  Tips on training your employees (Loom)  Documenting your SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)  How and why you should hire someone to run your calendar expertly (it takes an average of 11 emails to schedule one appointment)  Building trust with your virtual employee Tips on working effectively with your virtual assistant  Book Recommendation: eMyth

Lose Or Learn? On today's Podcast we're going to talk about how you react to issues.  So stay tuned... Welcome to Warehouse Safety Tips! You can find the show notes to each episode, links to information mentioned on the podcast, the social media platforms we're on, and anything else related to the podcast at WarehouseSafetyTips.com (https://www.warehousesafetytips.com) . If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener - this podcast is going to be different from most you listen to.  It's based around exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips.  And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money, so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible. And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast! Right off the start of this Podcast, I want to point out something I've said on many previous ones before it - and that's that talking about current topics goes against maintaining an evergreen framework.  If you haven't listened to previous episodes and/or aren't aware of evergreen in that context - it's simply keeping your topic timeless, so that the info is relevant no matter when you listen to it.  The non evergreen elephant in the room is the Coronavirus Pandemic that's occurring in the world right now.  If someone is listening to this Podcast in the future - hopefully the Coronavirus will have had a vaccine developed that keeps it at bay and/or it's been eradicated altogether - and it will no longer be a timely subject.  What WILL be timely, and the reason I continually bring it up - is how we choose (Or chose) to react to it. When attempting to create the light bulb - Thomas Edison could have taken the adversity he was experiencing and just given up.  Instead he's quoted as saying, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”  Another person more than familiar with adversity was Nelson Mandela.  One of his famous quotes is, "I never lose. I either win or learn." Before moving on - here's a word from one of our sponsors. If you've ever been to or worked in a warehouse - you know just how important safety is to both management and staff.  It's almost impossible to go 10 steps without seeing Safety Tape, Angles, Signs, and/or products.   It's these items that show us how to be safe and avoid danger in the workplace.  And if you're looking for the best products to make this happen - look no further than Mighty Line!  Mighty Line Floor Signs / Floor Markings offer the best industrial products out there! Go to MightyLineTape.com/SafetyTips (https://mightylinetape.com/safetytips) to request a Sample Pack of their incredible Safety Signs and Floor Markings. What makes Mighty Line the superior choice in keeping your facility safe and productive? Mighty Line Tape is the strongest floor tape on the market and has a beveled edge that increases durability for industrial brush scrubbers, forklifts, and heavy industrial wheel traffic.  Easy installation and removal thanks to Mighty Line's peel and stick backing.  You can apply and reapply it during installation - and it leave no sticky residue should you need to remove it.  This allows ability to change workflow areas quickly and easily - and not have the downtime associated with painting or using floor markings that leave behind a mess when you remove them. Mighty Line Tape is 7 times thicker than the average Safety Floor Tape. Mighty Line's Signs and Marking come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes.  And if they don't have what you're looking for in stock - their Customize It Program allows you to create exactly what you're looking for.  Mighty Line offers a Limited 3-Year Warranty on their Floor Signs and Markings. And last but certainly not least - Mighty Line Products are Patented and PROUDLY Made in the USA!

Now back to the Podcast... In the first part of this Podcast I mentioned how our country is still in the grips of the Coronavirus Pandemic - and brought up a couple quotes of how notable people in history dealt with adversity.   The question is, will Safety Teams and facilities focus on the downsides of this this situation - or will they use it as a learning experience of how to make things better going forward? Whether you were fortunate enough to be considered essential and allowed to remain in operation - or when you return from the shutdown you've been in - take the time to implement 6S Methodology. Sort, Set In Order / Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain for Safety. Of course you'll be implementing and training on proper and heightened hygiene and social distancing - but don't stop there. Play chess instead of checkers.  What I mean by that is thinking several moves ahead.   Look for potential hazards before they occur. Think about how your facility would react to a fire, tornado or storm, gas leak, or shooting. Put yourself in team member or staff's work area and see if they have everything they need - and/or things they don't. And anything else you can think of doing that will improve your facility.  And make sure you document your findings for future discussions and/or to put into action via SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). In essence - don't lose, LEARN!   If you visit WarehouseSafetyTips.com (https://www.warehousesafetytips.com) - you'll find the Show Notes for this episode.   Thank you for listening to Warehouse Safety Tips - and have SAFE day!

If you're an entrepreneur, hiring a virtual assistant is a great path to freedom but you have to do it the right way. It's about having constant communication, clear expectations, and many more. That's why in this episode, I have my own VA, Bobbie Clark, to be on the show to share how to have a successful working relationship with your virtual assistant. We share our method on how we document our business processes or SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) properly and how to properly hand off these tasks to a VA to ensure the tasks are done successfully so you can focus on the "$10,000 per hour tasks" in your business. Show notes: [03:10] How Bobbie got into becoming a VA Prior to becoming a VA, Bobbie has been working as an Executive Assistant while her husband is in the army and they move around every 3 years. She decided to step back and settled with her kids. She searched for some virtual work and worked at ChatterBoss for 2 years where she can still do what she loves while working virtually. [05:46] If someone has never worked with a VA before, what should they be prepared for? Communication is the key point in building a relationship with your VA. Expect to chat with your VA every day It may be hard to let tasks go if you've never worked with a VA before. Let the VAs know what's in your head so they can identify the tasks, and bottlenecks that are holding you back. [09:25] What kind of guidance should an entrepreneur give to a VA? It's really important to give a pitch of your business for them to know how they can support you. Get the processes out of your brain and share it with your VA. Start with one task and use it as a practice run with your VA to make sure all the necessary steps and resources are given and to see what a true given successful task looks like. [13:50] How to start documenting Standard Operating Procedures Start with basic tasks (making payments, sending invoices, etc) and write it exactly how you do it step by step. Do a screen-record of how you do a specific task or process because it will show the intricacies that might not be able to be properly conveyed if the tasks will just be written. Give your VA time to master the first tasks and they'll eventually match the time and quality of how you do those tasks. In my experience, I record a screencast of a specific task and I'll have Bobbie create an SOP based on it. [24:50] The difference between a good and bad VA It's very important that a VA should adjust to how you work. Set the expectations that you have for the VA to accomplish. If you're seeing errors with tasks, take the time to let your VA know and address the issue. If you're still seeing issues, look for other options. [32:26] What are the indications that an entrepreneur might need to hire a VA If you want to focus on expanding the business while not sacrificing the quality of communication that you have with your current clients. If you have an expanding to-do list in your business where it's already taking your personal time. [43:30] What do you wish that entrepreneurs knew about working with a VA VAs are here to make our lives easier and they want to take things off your plate. It takes time for a VA to master every process that you want to handoff. Set time-bound goals with your VA so you can both identify where you want to be at a specific date.

Marcus Meurer, heute einer der bekanntesten Digitalen Nomaden, wurde während einem Urlaub langweilig und so hat er seinen Laptop aufgeklappt und sein Business gestartet. Das konnte er machen, weil er ein echter SEO Experte war. Er war z.B. bei Stepstone oder dem Startup Daily Deal. Und weil ihm der Lifestyle so gut gefallen hat, hat er sich auf die Suche nach Gleichgesinnten gemacht und die DNX Konferenz gestartet, bei der sich immer mehr Menschen über das Leben als Digitaler Nomade austauschen. Teamführung als Digitaler Nomade Die DNX ist mittlerweile so groß geworden, dass Marcus und Feli (Seine Lebens- und Reisegefährtin) das nicht mehr alleine Stämmen können und deshalb ein größeres Team (20-30 Mitarbeiter) aus Freelancern & virtuellen Assistenten koordinieren und bezahlen müssen. Aber das ist ein ständiges hin und her. Wie frei kann man als Digitaler Nomade mit einem Team bleiben? Freiheit heißt sich selbst zu organisieren Ein Digitaler Nomade sein heißt nicht nur Morgens in der Hängematte seinen Laptop aufklappen, sondern Selbstorganisation wird immer wichtiger. Und viele Prozesse und Arbeitsabläufe werden in SOPs Standard Operating Procedures dokumentiert. Virtuelle Assistenten Dann kommt auch gleich der nächste Hebel, eine Virtuelle Assistentin. Marcus setzt auf deutsche VAs (Virtuelle Assistenten), die sind zwar deutlich teurer als Inder, können aber deutsch und sind zuverlässiger. Personal Branding Dann ging es noch kurz um das Thema Personal Brand und braucht man sowas als Freelancer und Digitaler Nomade? Die Antwort kam schnell: nein, nicht unbedingt, es kommt immer drauf an, was man machen möchte. Und zu guter letzt habe ich mir noch ein paar Tipps geben lassen für mein VideoWeekend, das ich Anfang 2017 plane. Der Tipp von Marcus Meurer: Sichere dir jetzt sofort deine URL und hau da eine Seite zusammen, denn je älter eine URL ist, desto besser rankt die bei Google.

Alex wants to stress the importance of creating systems in your business. When you have good systems in place, anybody can take a look at your business and fit right in. Alex talks on how you can put effective systems in your business and why you should always document the process and make sure it is still up-to-date three months later. Systems help make sure you're on the same page with your team and it also gives you a way to take yourself out of the picture.   Key Takeaways: • Thank you for sending in your questions! • Everybody understands the importance of having systems in their business, but what does it actually look like? • You want to have a strong system in place so you can replace yourself. • If you're still interested in this topic after the show, Alex can do a master class on it as well. • First of all, what is step one? Outline the various categories and subcategories of your business. • It's important to document what you plan to do and make it easy to read. Alex does this in a video format and then has his VA organize it in a word doc. • Don't just rely on video, because things change and things need to be updated. • You want the document incredibly, incredibly easy. Can't stress this enough. Include bullet points and screenshots, so that anybody can quickly understand the tasks at hand. • Every three months you want to check back on all the SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) you've created. • Focus on creating one SOP a week. Don't overwhelm yourself. • You always want to be thinking, “How can I remove myself from this process?”   Mentioned in This Episode: www.flipempire.com/ www.flipempire.com/question The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber Use Screenflow For Screen Capture Videos (to record SOPs) Snag It www.fiverr.com www.podio.com/   Ask Alex A Question: Have a question you want featured on an upcoming Flip Empire Show?
