In this week's Quick Fire Friday episode, Michael interviews David Jenyns, who's based in Melbourne, Australia. David is the Founder of SYSTEMology, the system to systemize your business. A process that breaks small-medium-sized business owners free from being tied to the day-to-day operations by its effective 7-step process that will delegate the recurring, repetitive, essential, delegable tasks down to team members. The process starts with identifying your CCF (Critical Client Flow) and documenting the systems needed. When the documentation process is done, recording the current systems will be assigned to the established department heads, then one of their SYSTEMologists will extract and analyze the information. Proceeding to organize the systems with their systemHUB; integrating it into the team, and fostering a healthy culture of ‘systems thinking.' Topping it with a shift in focus in recruitment to boost the scalability of your business, finishing it all off with optimizing the most important systems and processes. “Systems and processes are important,” according to David. Systems are important because they provide structure and organization to various processes, operations, and activities to such an extent that they give small-medium-sized business owners freedom. Building a systems-driven culture can have a profound impact on so many different aspects of the business, as well as the lives of the business owners. This Cast Covers:  Why systems are critical for small businesses to grow. The tendency of small-medium-sized business owners to do everything. Business owners getting shackled to their businesses. Finding a way that your business can work without you. Building systems for your business using SYSTEMology. SYSTEMology's proprietary 7-step process. The challenge of making changes in a business. Finding someone in your business to be the system's champion. The impact of building a systems-driven culture on different aspects of the business. SYSTEMology, giving freedom to small-medium-sized business owners.

What You'll Learn From This Episode: Removing 'key person' dependency Applying 'critical client' flow Systemizing business if you don't like systems Related Links and Resources: If you go to www.systemology.com/resources, they'll find there a bunch of resources and one of them is the 'client flow template'. It's a PDF with the empty spaces for you to fill in. Summary: In 2016, David Jenyns successfully systemised himself out of his business, one of Australia's most trusted digital agencies, Melbourne SEO. Through this process he became a systems devotee – founding systemHUB & SYSTEMology. Today, his mission is to free all business owners worldwide from the daily operations of running their business. Here are the highlights of this episode: During the interview, David told us that his ideal client would be a business owner who finds themself as the bottleneck in their business. They're starting to scale or wanting to scale, but they're really finding that everything needs to come through them. And that really seems to be the biggest linchpin or the thing that's holding them back from growth. The problem that they really help solve centers around the same thing, is helping businesses become more repeatable. He said that businesses and business owners must remove key person dependency, whether it's themselves or any other team member in order to make business a lot stronger and a lot more scalable. Oftentimes if the business owner feels like they're running an adult daycare center; constantly having to tend to different team members and clients when they come in. Maybe they've tried to systemize their business and they haven't failed. Business owner just loves to do everything and they think they're the best at everything. Therefore, they need to create the systems, but oftentimes they're not a system person. A lot of business owners tend to overcomplicate things. It's quite natural for the business owner to not like documenting systems, but that doesn't mean you can't run a systems driven business. Every business should be working towards building systems, reducing that key person dependency and making sure that the business can grow without them because that's the real key. David's Valuable Free Action (VFA): David has an exercise called 'critical client' flow. On a paper,  you map the linear journey of your dream client and selling your primary product or service to that dream client. From start to finish, think about "How do you grab their attention? How do you handle the inquiry when it comes into you? What's your sales process? How do you invoice them or take money? How do you onboard them? How do you deliver your core products or service? And then how do you get them to come back?" Literally map that out on a four bit of paper. You don't use more than about two or three words to explain each of the different steps. Exercise alone can be really eye opening for determining where should you start or what systems should you put in place. Just focus on the critical client flow and you'll get a tremendous result.

A huge part of scaling up your business is all about strategising and building up efficient systems for team leaders and members. How much of your business processes should you systemise? How do you stay transparent to your team? How do you keep everyone consistent with the system?  David Jenyns, author of the book SYSTEMology and CEO of systemHUB, makes a comeback in the show as we answer these questions!

David Jenyns: Sometimes there's a misconception thinking, well, if I'm going to systemise I have to systemise like McDonald's and it has to be to that level of detail. But there's a good chance some videographers might not be building a hamburger business. So we don't need to necessarily follow their roadmap exactly. But there's a lot of so key valuable lessons to be learned from McDonald's. How they got started. You know, we don't look at how McDonald's is today. They're this lean machine systemized. They can open stores within 30 days and meticulous the way that the store runs recruit like they are every aspect of their business is down to sort of like a fine tooth comb. And that's the result of it 60 years worth of work. But if you come back and you look at the movie, right at the start of that movie, they are around on a basketball court, and they've got some chalk. And they're mapping out the floor plan of one of the stores. And that is the way that systems are built, you start off rough and ready, you kind of just get whatever best practices, you make a tweak, you move things around.

Have you ever had a stressful vacation because you can't put your phone down, answering client calls or putting out fire in the office? Ever felt like you can't catch a break during office hours because your staff kept consulting with you for every decision? Ever dreamed of growing your business but always wake up to the reality that your hands are always full? It's simple really. Step back and let your business run without you. Wait, what? Welcome to 'Video Made Simple' video podcast featuring marketers, entrepreneurs & clients who help take the mystery out of video and break through the monotony of day-to-day communication. In this episode, Chris Schwager (Video Marketer from Ridge Films) is joined by David Jenyns (CEO of systemHUB, author of Systemology) as they talk about how systemizing your business processes can create time, reduce errors, and give your business a chance to scale, as well as how videos help streamline the operations so that other people can take over in the absence of another. David Jenyns: When I realized it's not about the software, it really isn't, as much as I'd love to be able to say system hub is the only solution. And everybody needs to have this. There are some challenges with every platform. And there's pros and cons. And then the real key is if you've got a project management platform, if you're running projects through an Asana, a teamwork, PM, a Podio, or Monday or something like that, when you start to think about assigning tasks out to team members, the point at which you assign the task, you want to have the link to that video or that training at that point. So you might say, alright, this task is getting assigned to Sally to issue out an invoice to the client. And in the description, there's a link to how to issue out that invoice in MYOB. And that way she gets assigned the task, but if she can't do it, it makes it so much easier to reassign it to someone else. Because you've already got the how to document or training right there. That's that's actually the real key. Links and Resources: Connect and follow me on LinkedIn and let me know you've heard the podcast.

Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “Removing the business owner, simplifying the process, and getting the team a lot more involved – that really helps to overcome many of the common mistakes people had at the start.” -David JenynsClick To TweetTranscript (Note, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Tom Poland 00:09 Welcome, everyone, to another edition of Marketing the Invisible. My name is Tom Pollan beaming out to you, as always, from little Castaways Beach in Queensland, Australia, joined today by David Jenyns. David, good day. Sir, welcome. It's our Australia morning, this morning. Whereabouts are you hanging out? David Jenyns 00:25 I'm in Melbourne, Australia, right down the bottom. So pleased to be here! Tom Poland 00:28 Great! Coffee capital of the world– Melbourne. For those of you who don't know David, in 2016, he's very successful, and this is pertinent folks! He's systemized himself out of his own business. He had one of Australia's most trusted digital agencies, Melbourne SEO Services. And it was through that sort of systemizing himself out of his own business, he went on and thought, “Well, this actually worked pretty darn well. I could teach this stuff”. And, no doubt, you had people asking you how you manage that. So he founded systemHUB, and SYSTEMology. Today, David's mission is to free all business owners worldwide from the daily operations of running their business. Very nicely brings us to our title, David, which is, “How to Create Time, Reduce Errors, and Scale Your Profits with Proven Business Systems”. Can't wait! David, our seven minutes start now. Sir, question number one is who is your ideal client? David Jenyns 01:22 Business owners with 3 to 20 staff who find themselves very much stuck in the day-to-day operations. So they are the bottleneck, and they can be service-based businesses or product-based businesses. Tom Poland 01:34 Perfect! Thank you, sir. Question two, six and a half minutes left, what's the problem you solve for them? David Jenyns 01:40 The problem that we help them solve is how do they step out of the day-to-day operations? How can they step away from the business for more than a day or two, then, you know, without the business falling in a heap? A lot of business owners have built their businesses up around them. They're really intimately involved in all aspects of the business from the delivery of the product, or the service, to the selling, to the marketing, to the finance. They're looking after the staff, and nothing really works without them. So we help to remove them. Tom Poland 02:11 Perfect! Six minutes left. Question number three, tells us about the symptoms. You got this business owner. They've probably got a business which is doing okay, but they're feeling a bit, you know, like the hamster on the wheel sort of thing. What else is going on in their business, or in their life that would give them a heads up that they should find out a bit more about SYSTEMology? David Jenyns 02:30 Usually the warning signs, limited time, that's obviously a big giveaway. And very much that they are the bottleneck, that errors are popping up inside their business. Or they're feeling like they're managing a daycare, like an adult day care center, where they spend most of their time looking after the children which is the team. Tom Poland 02:52 Changing diapers? David Jenyns 02:53 That's right! Keeping them on track and making sure that everybody's doing what they should be doing. And oftentimes that means that they spend the bulk of their day looking after work, getting done, either, first thing, last thing, or on the weekends. Tom Poland 03:05 Wow. David Jenyns 03:06 And oftentimes, a lot of those things are symptoms that you've built this owner-dependent business that needs to change. Tom Poland 03:13 They need to get some of that IP out of their brain and have system leverage. Thank you, sir. Question number four, just under five minutes left. What are some of the common mistakes that people are making, trying to get out of this trap before they find your solution? So, tell me, if you had some new clients come along and say, “Gee, I wish I'd found your 20 years ago. Here's what I tried that didn't really work well.” What would some of those things be? David Jenyns 03:35 Common things that business owners try to systemize the business themselves or they start off doing the documentation. And they don't really like documentation or writing systems and processes and they're usually not the best person on the team to be doing it, but for some reason, they feel a need to be. That's definitely a common one. Another one is people trying to systemize like they're McDonald's. They have this idea that “Oh, we should systemize” and then the first business that comes to mind of a systemized business is McDonald's. And then they try to do what McDonald's has done. Yet their business is very different. McDonald's has been doing it for 60 years and trying to compare where they are today to where you might be right now getting started. It's worlds apart. So they overcomplicate it. It's definitely removing the business owner, simplifying the process, and getting the team a lot more involved. And by doing that, that really helps to overcome many of the common mistakes people had at the start. Tom Poland 04:35 Perfect! Well articulated. Some great insights there. Thank you, sir. Three and a half minutes left. What am I after with the next one, question five, is a valuable free action. It's like a top tip, not going to solve the whole problem, not going to systemize the whole business but might take them a step in the right direction? David Jenyns 04:50 The best thing that you can do is to think about where to start. That's always the first question that pops up into someone's mind which is, “Okay, well, I know systems are important and I want to do them, but what is the first system I should put in place?” And to do that, I find the best thing the business owner can do is to reflect on themselves and think about what is something that they might not enjoy doing, or they actively avoid doing it, yet, it's really critical to deliver their core product or service. Maybe they don't like writing proposals? Maybe they don't like the selling piece? Maybe they don't like setting up a new project? Maybe they don't like- there are probably elements that if the business owner shone a light on it, and said, “Ah, where am I gonna start?” That's a really great place to start. Think about what you don't like, that you're actively avoiding. If you could systemize and document and create a process, a way of doing things that it'd be easy to plug someone in, to then take over this really important part of your business. Tom Poland 05:55 There's an interesting saying that gardeners have. They say, “The best Earth is the Earth that has gone through the worm.” And you know, I very much get the sense from what you're saying is this is not taken out of a textbook or a workshop, this has come from the real-life experience of not only experience in your own business but helping a whole lot of people. So it's fresh and authentic based in the real world. So thank you for that! Two minutes left. One valuable free resource. Where can we direct folks to help them even more with this systemization? David Jenyns 06:23 Yeah, just head to systemology.com/academy. There's a range of different resources, videos, training, audios, templates. Great way to get started. And we've got a little free resource in there called “The Critical Client Flow” which, again, further helps to identify where do I get started? What are the first 10 to 15 systems that you should consider documenting first? Tom Poland 06:46 Fantastic. So systemology.com/academy. Thank you, sir! We've got a whopping 70 seconds left. Last question, what's the one question I should have asked you but didn't? David Jenyns 06:56 One question is that I always like to talk about is, how I got to know Michael E. Gerber, the author of The E Myth and how did he come to endorse SYSTEMology in the work that we do? It's a big story. It's covered at the start of the SYSTEMology book. And if you hear the audio version of that, Michael reads it himself and his wife makes the cameo as well. But yeah, one of the big things that kind of go through all of those details, but the short version is there are huge opportunities for business owners every single day, and you just need to create enough space to be able to take advantage of those opportunities when they land in your lap. And that for me was Michael Gerber but every business owner listening, there is a big opportunity waiting for you if you can just get out of the day-to-day operations. Tom Poland 07:47 Perfect!

Hi, Profit Designers! As we at Tap the Potential gear up for a number of special, upcoming projects, we're taking this time to bring you some of our most popular episodes from the vault! We hope you enjoy it, and we'll be back with new episodes for you very soon!  Freedom in your business: is this important to you? It's so important to David Jenyns that he systemized himself out of his business! Join us as he shares his compelling story of why it's so important to him, his passion for sharing it with others, and the surprising benefit of systemizing your own business. David's entrepreneurial journey begins back in his early 20's when he sold Australia's most-loved sporting ground, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Since then, his business experience spans from franchising retail clothing stores to founding one of Australia's most trusted digital agencies, melbourneSEOservices.com. In 2016, he successfully systemized himself out of the business, hired a CEO, and stepped back from the daily operations. Through this process, he became a systems devotee – founding systemHUB & SYSTEMology. Today, his mission is to free all business owners worldwide from the daily operations of running their business. Recognized as a high-achieving entrepreneur, you will find many of David's keynote presentations on YouTube including TEDx, WordCamp and Problogger. Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group. Show Highlights: David shares how, when he found out his wife was pregnant, he was working 70 hours a week, which made him consider what kind of dad he wanted to be for his kids. He intuitively knew that systemizing the process was going to be his way out. He had a background in stock market trading and this had initially taught him about systems and plans. Getting stuck because he built the business around himself, locking him deeper and deeper in the business. Dr. Sabrina recognizes a key limiting belief in the story that David is relating: “This business needs me. My business is different. David gives us the worries that he had as he was considering how to systemize his business, and how he finally realized he didn't have to hold that bag. Dr. Sabrina's test that she relies on: “It's just the way it is.” If she starts thinking this, it is her red flag to stop and say, “Oh, no, sister, it doesn't have to be this. There could be another possibility.” David describes the process of getting his team involved of systemizing, in the midst of their busy-ness. He discovered that it's easier to have two people working on the systemization: one who has the knowledge, and one who does the documentation. If you can figure out what the problem is, then you can consult an expert who has that part of the process already figured out. Utilize GoPros and video cameras, talk it out, let somebody capture it, then the process can be put into place using these tools. Over-complicating things in small business is the biggest gap that David has recognized. A minimum, viable system is the place to start, and then test it out, and see what needs to be added. Other business opportunities open up for you once you systemize your business. Valuing opportunities for the experience over the money. Freeing people from the operations is David's dream. The deeper story behind David's “why”. “The Sheet” - a weekly allowance scorecard from childhood that taught David some important life lessons. Growing as a person, when your business begins to grow. Bad habits that need to be broken. David describes the benefits of systemHUB. Complexity is the enemy of systems and systemizations. Simplify as much as possible. Features actually take away from the outcome. Figure out and use the key systems that need to be in place for your business to function. Nail “simple” first! Want to learn more?

Today’s Guest Stephen Esketzis ​Working for himself as an internet marketer, while most people his age were wondering which degree they wanted to study or corporate job they wanted to land, was pretty standard practice for Stephen. “I can’t remember the last time I hadn’t sold something to make a profit. From trading Pokémon cards in primary school to selling cans of soft drink in high school, I love the thrill of business and clenching deals.“ He was self-taught all through high school learning snippets of eBay selling, website management and development, running forums, releasing iPhone apps, running a content-based agency, building a SAAS company from scratch and much more. This all led him to build outrageously profitable sales funnels online… or what the everyday person calls being an ‘internet marketer’.
