Systems & Processes That Drive Profit with Adi Klevit   Chaos is expensive. In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we crack the code on how documented systems aren't just nice-to-have—they're the missing multiplier in your business's profitability formula. If you're tired of being the bottleneck, constantly putting out fires, and never getting ahead, it's time to trade the hustle for high-performance systems that scale. Our guest, Adi Klevit, reveals how business owners can create a self-operating machine by implementing and optimizing their processes.  Spoiler alert: Systems aren't the enemy of creativity—they're the foundation of freedom.    In This Episode, You'll Learn:  Why most entrepreneurs resist creating processes—and how that resistance kills profitability. The difference between organized chaos and scalable clarity. How systematization frees up your mental space AND cash flow. The connection between process documentation and higher business valuations. Why your SOPs are your secret weapon in scaling and exiting.    Key Takeaways:  “Freedom comes from structure.” Entrepreneurs crave autonomy, but lack of documented processes is what traps them in day-to-day firefighting. Systems are your escape hatch. Systematize for scalability. Want to sell your business or open new locations? Investors and buyers care about repeatability. That means documented processes. Retention tool: Losing a key employee shouldn't threaten your operations. When SOPs are in place, you retain knowledge even if you lose people. Consistency = trust = profit. Standardized delivery builds a brand customers trust—and trust drives referrals and lifetime value. Build your business to sell, even if you're not planning to. Systematizing gives you options—scale, step back, or cash out.    About Adi Klevit:  Adi Klevit is the visionary founder of Business Success Consulting Group, where she helps business owners build scalable, efficient organizations. With a 25+ year background as an Industrial Engineer and management consultant, Adi turns complexity into clarity. She's a process queen and people whisperer—combining strategy and operations into a powerhouse system that frees business owners to thrive.  She's also the host of the Systems Simplified podcast, where she interviews top entrepreneurs about the systems behind their success.    Conclusion:   Systems Drive Profit. What's the true cost of not having processes? Missed profits. Burnout. Lost opportunities. Adi makes a compelling case that processes are profit levers—and that the business owner's role is to step back, build systems, and lead with clarity. As EOS, Traction, and Scaling Up all emphasize: documented, followed-by-all processes are a non-negotiable for sustainable growth.  If you're ready to turn chaos into cash flow, this episode will show you how.    Links:   Website: https://bizsuccesscg.com  Podcast: https://bizsuccesscg.com/podcast/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adiklevit/  Link to schedule free process mapping session: https://calendly.com/meetwithadi/free-process-mapping-session    Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Join Liane Davey and me discuss the importance of healthy conflect in an organization. Liane Davey is the teamwork doctor. One of my favorite parts of this interview was when she explained her system of encouraging healthy conflict and the example she uses to explain how to work through the conflict. You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems. 1. Importance of understanding different perspectives Karl and Liane discuss the challenges of teamwork, noting that cognitive biases and the tendency to overemphasize our own reality make it difficult to truly understand others' perspectives. They emphasize the need to create an environment where healthy conflict and tension can thrive, rather than avoiding conflict altogether. 2. Systematizing healthy conflict Liane explains the difference between "productive tension" and "unhealthy friction" in teams. She outlines an exercise to help team members understand the unique value they bring, the stakeholders they represent, and the tensions they are obligated to introduce. This allows teams to have constructive debates and discussions, rather than personal conflicts. 3. The three phases of decision-making Liane describes a three-phase approach to decision-making: 1) Deliberation, where healthy conflict and tension are encouraged, 2) Implementation, where team members must "disagree and commit" to the decision, and 3) Evaluation, where the decision is openly reviewed and assessed. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining the right level of conflict in each phase. 4. Managing thought load and productivity Liane shares her personal struggle with "thought load" - the combination of distraction, anxiety, and burnout that plagues many professionals. She outlines the systems she has put in place to manage her attention, anxiety, and energy, including a "Thought Load Planner" and various mindfulness practices. She emphasizes the importance of these strategies for improving productivity and overall well-being. 5. Closing and next steps Liane provides information on how listeners can connect with her further, including her website, YouTube channel, and LinkedIn presence. Karl thanks Liane for the insightful conversation and offers to provide feedback or connect her with potential guests for his podcast. Learn more about Liane Davey over at 3Coze. You can also connect with him on LinkedIn.

Getting Teams to Follow Procedures Adi designed an eight-step process to promote adherence to procedures across organizations. The first step involves securing buy-in from leadership and team members by clearly communicating the benefits of following established processes. The next step is assessing the personal motivations of each team member, ensuring they understand how the procedures align with their goals and the company objectives. Next, the process includes creating detailed, clear guidelines that outline each step of the procedures, making them easy to understand and implement. Training sessions will be necessary after establishing the guidelines to ensure everyone is on the same page. Regular check-ins and feedback loops help identify any challenges or misunderstandings in the implementation phase. Open Communication Encouraging open communication allows team members to voice concerns and suggest procedural improvements. Finally, Adi emphasizes the importance of recognition and rewards for teams that consistently follow the procedures to reinforce positive behavior and foster a culture of accountability. Productivity Tools and Techniques Her favorite productivity tools include ClickUp for task management, Slack for internal communication, and Descript for content creation. Adi highlights the importance of choosing tools that add value and structuring their use to avoid inefficiencies.

In this episode, we're joined by Adrian Dorsen, co-founder and CEO of Run Like Clockwork, a company dedicated to helping small business owners create systems that allow them to run their businesses efficiently without being the bottleneck. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the operational side of your business—whether it's creating systems, delegating, or feeling stuck in the day-to-day tasks—this conversation is for you! Adrian shares her journey from the corporate world, where she managed operational efficiency in large manufacturing organizations, to consulting small business owners. Her experience in Lean Six Sigma and operational efficiency paved the way to partnering with Mike Michalowicz, author of Clockwork: Design Your Business to Run Itself. Together, they developed a proven framework to help entrepreneurs get out of the daily grind and build businesses that can function without them.   “Like, if you're not going to be paying more for it, then I would expect you to have some sort of system that you're going to hand off. And everyone has a system for what they do. They've, most of the time, just never documented it or thought about it. They just have it in their head.”   Five Key Takeaways: Small businesses can benefit from corporate-level efficiency systems. Adrian's experience shows that principles used in large manufacturing can be adapted to streamline small businesses. The 4D framework is key to operational success. Focusing on the right areas—delegation, documentation, development, and designing the future—enables owners to step back from the day-to-day. Systematizing your business is essential to scalability. Without systems, growth is limited, and the owner becomes a bottleneck, hindering the business's full potential. Taking a four-week unplugged vacation is a true test of business autonomy. If the business can thrive without the owner for this time, the systems are working as intended. Partnerships can elevate business impact. Adrian's partnership with Mike Michalowicz demonstrates how the right collaboration can exponentially grow your business and bring new value.   Connect with Adrienne: TimeTracker: runlikeclockwork.com/time  The Clockwork System (Course): https://theclockworksystem.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adriennedorison/  Connect with me: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Personal accountability and self-improvement are essential, with learning from mistakes and prioritizing well-being being critical for long-term success.

Being simultaneously data-driven and creative seems paradoxical. So does building statistics into the creative process. John Paul de Guzman has managed to do both. As the founder and chief creative of Frost Design and Consulting Group, and speaker at the upcoming DesignOps Summit, millions of Filipinos have been impacted by their work with major FinTech and telecom projects. Much of the UX/UI talent in the Philippines is self-taught, often struggling with the gap between academic training and industry expectations. To address this, John Paul developed a systematic approach to training and design processes. John Paul and Lou discuss how Frost has embraced data-driven design, which, contrary to the creative chaos one might expect, has led to more efficient workflows and better client outcomes. By integrating tools like Trello and Figma, and leveraging AI for task management, John Paul has significantly reduced administrative overhead. This approach allows designers to focus on their work rather than getting bogged down in busy work. They can track work in real time, eliminating the need for status meetings and improving overall productivity—a win-win for both the team and their clients. What You'll Learn from this Episode: - How John Paul and his team at Frost systematically integrated data into their creative processes - How John Paul addressed the talent gap in his company The tools he uses to track workflows and achieve always-current status on projects - How probabilistic analysis helps predict project timelines and manage client expectations more accurately - How John Paul is integrating AP in the project-tracking process Quick Reference Guide: 0:13 - Introduction of John Paul 2:16 - The path that got John Paul where he is today 5:18 - What it means to be data-driven 8:39 - Systematizing the data-driven design process by tracking workflows 11:58 - Mapping the workflow 16:01 - Break 18:45 - Tools for probabilistic analysis and managing time 24:11 - The level of granularity John Paul's team tracks 25:56 - Handling aspects of work that are more conceptual and difficult to atomize 30:46 - John Paul's gift for listeners Resources and Links from Today's Episode: DesignOps Summit 2024 https://rosenfeldmedia.com/designops-summit/2024/

Join us for a discussion about how to use storytelling in your business and career. Sean Platt is Founder of Sterling & Stone and Co-Founder Invisible Ink Media. One of my favorite parts of this interview was the framework he teaches to small business owners so that they can sell their services. Reflecting on storytelling and narrative Sean shares his background as a writer, noting how his wife encouraged him to start writing and how he discovered the power of storytelling. He discusses the importance of narratives, how they shape our experiences, and how being intentional about the stories we tell ourselves and others can lead to better outcomes. Applying storytelling to business and leadership We explore how effective storytelling can be leveraged in business and leadership contexts. They discuss the importance of crafting compelling narratives that resonate with and empower your audience, rather than making yourself the hero. They also touch on the dangers of performative vulnerability or shallow stories. Niching down in business to capture attention When you niche down in your business you are able to capture people's attention. If you write emails and copy on your site that is geared toward everyone you don't gather anyone's attention. In this interview he talks about his story telling framework that helps you create content for your niche audience. Systematizing storytelling and capturing insights Sean emphasizes the value of being intentional about collecting and cataloging the stories that arise in one's business and life. He suggests regularly reflecting on the "best stories" from a given week or period as a way to build up a robust narrative toolkit that can be applied to various situations. You can learn more about Sean Platt over at Sterling and Stone. You can also connect with him on LinkedIn. As always, if you have any questions or want to submit a guest for the podcast that you think would be amazing, just reach out to me on the Systematic Leader website, and I'll do my best to get them on.

In this episode of the Well-Oiled Operations™ podcast, Stacy explores the seller's blueprint with Aleta Mechtel, uncovering the secrets behind successfully preparing a business for sale. This discussion delves deep into the strategies and systems Aleta implemented to sell her profitable educational enterprise. Aleta discusses the critical role of her well-structured leadership team and how detailed procedures and policies can significantly increase a business's value. She stresses the importance of planning with the end goal in mind, advising aspiring sellers to start preparing years in advance. Also in this episode: Preparing for a business sale should begin well in advance, potentially years before the intended sale date. Profitability is key in determining a business's value, making attention to the bottom line crucial in the years leading up to a sale. Structured policies and procedures and a strong leadership team that operates independently of the owner are pivotal elements that potential buyers seek. A business owner must detach from being the face of the business, allowing for the company to continue functioning successfully post-transition. About Aleta Mechtal: Aleta has over 22 years of experience in early childhood education, progressing from Teacher to Director, Owner, and Coach. Starting from the ground up, she faced numerous challenges and failures but continually learned and improved.
