In this episode, I'm talking about building a lean and clean business that's easy to manage and helps you sell more. I love diving into this topic because having a streamlined business gives you more time to focus on the things you enjoy most. Key Takeaways: Do a business audit: Take a critical look at your current products, services, freebies, and opt-ins. Assess what's working, what you enjoy doing, and what aligns with your goals. Don't be afraid to let go of things that no longer serve you or your business. Streamline your messaging: Ensure your message connects on a deeper emotional level with your target audience. Share stories that illustrate why your core message matters and why you do what you do. Keep your language simple and easy to understand. Have a solid marketing and sales strategy: Regularly share how people can work with you and why your offer is valuable. Focus your efforts on one product or service each month, creating content and energy around it across various platforms. Systemise and automate your funnels: Streamline your marketing efforts by focusing on the platforms that align with your strengths and where your target audience is active. Consider automating parts of your top, middle, and bottom funnels to make your business more efficient. I'm always excited to share my insights on building a streamlined business. *********************** NEXT STEPS: BRAND BUILDERS ACADEMY - Click here to Join now (foundational) APPLY FOR THE AMPLIFY MASTERMIND - Click here to apply (scale) **** FREE: Simple Business Buckets training - Understand what to focus on in your business https://suzchadwick.com/simple-biz-buckets-sign-up Masterclass - 5 powerful strategies to grow your business, brand & revenue https://suzchadwick.com/bba-masterclass-registration **** LINKS: Website: www.suzchadwick.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/suzchadwick TikTok: www.tiktok.com/suzchadwick

From a corporate learning and development background, John Tonkin has worked with some of Australia's leading companies. The common thread was systems – helping the team to do the right thing the right way at the right time. After 12 years of valuable corporate experience, John launched his first business in 2000, specialising in business systems. It was all about bringing big business practices to the small business world where the focus on ROI is so much stronger and the investment of the owner is straight from the heart. Since founding Brain in a Box in 2007, John now specialises in helping business owners to balance the demands of running the business, creating and keeping their systems up to date, and guiding the team as they work with renewed enthusiasm, accountability and client focus. With hundreds of clients covering the whole business spectrum, John has a practical understanding of the challenges and needs of those business owners who strive to improve their businesses by strengthening their systems. John gets a kick out of hearing proud owners and team members sound surprised when they see their systems working the way they were always supposed to. The pride they develop in their revitalised business reflects the practical, direct approach to developing systems that John has carefully honed over the past 35 years, supported by the award-winning Brain in a Box team. It works. John Tonkin shared in this episode: Businesses are only in business because they can manage risk and benefit well The benefits of systems for business owners which include… Capture systems in Google site / Sharepoint / confluence Where do we start with systems? What are we systemising? The importance of identifying processes and determining their value in improving business operations Outline a mind map of the whole business (Mkt, sales, delivery, admin) Prioritise the systems that will add the biggest value to the business if they were created How to capture systems with text, video, flowcharts - this really depends on the learning style of your team members The importance of having systems in place to ensure client satisfaction and business success As you document the systems, work through how to improve the process and create the one best way The importance of having systems in place to ensure client satisfaction and business success Why it is important to identify the risks and what can go wrong, and write those down and create on those in a system/process The importance of looking for gaps and problems in business operations before they cause issues Why it is important to TEST the systems and make sure the standard works. Why it is important that the person making the system has the holistic overview. His Life-changing question: “What don't I see?” Keith Cunningham This is a good way to identify gaps There is no magic way, start where you are use what you have and do what you can.

While Telstra's massive CX overhaul has powered net promoter scores through the roof – with NPS linked directly to executive bonuses – CMO Brent Smart says that's only half the job. To grow, Telstra needs to go harder on brand to woo those that don't even know about its sweeping digital overhaul, including aggrieved former customers. As such Telstra's 80:20 performance to brand investment ratios won't stay that way, but Smart says competing with the likes of JB HiFi and Harvey Norman plus rival telcos in the monthly acquisition battle royale “has really sharpened me up as a marketer.” Smart thinks too many firms are failing to properly link brand communications through to CX and performance, using the same off the shelf tools and “luggage matching” instead of truly being fit for platform. Meanwhile, he's testing performance channels to gauge if they are delivering incremental growth versus sales that would have happened anyway – and similar tests at IAG threw up some interesting results. Plus, Smart and Telstra are diving deeper into market mix modelling while building out a framework across the marketing function to “systemise and quantify” great creative work “without strangling it”. The latter is lifted from AB InBev's award winning template. The former an attempt to demonstrate how marketing investment is delivering ROI and contributing to the bottom line. Between the two “I'd be lying if I said we could predict the impact of better creative,” per Smart. But in terms of media planning, he's going all out for attention. “That definitely does change your channel choices,” says Smart – and there are winners and losers. Smart also fires back crisply at those suggesting Telstra's new brand ad is lacking in branding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This episode is a recording of Mark's recent talk at the Underground Empire Builders Event. Mark draws on 20 years of experience and 1000+ deals, sharing the mindsets and models essential for business success. He gives his philosophies on real estate investing, scaling companies, productive habits, calculated risks, and leveraging assets.KEY TAKEAWAYS Find a profitable business model aligned with your passions - it drives you through tough times. Surround yourself with successful people to get ideas, not direct copies. Start now, test, and pivot - don't over-research. Your business will change; the market will shape it. Take action, make mistakes, learn, and improve. Systemise everything, measure with data, and manage time carefully. Spend it on income-generating tasks; this grows your business, and delegate what doesn't. Diversify income streams and assets. Property, trading, and investments balance each other when challenges like Brexit hit. Diversification survives dislocations. BEST MOMENTS "I think the first thing I'd do as Prime Minister is take the whole tax system, put it in the bin, and reduce taxes.""Once you find your model, it's all about implementation. You need clear, definable goals and milestones to ensure you're executing correctly.""Don't go into developments early - learn by buying smaller ones first. There's less to go wrong and you gain experience for bigger projects.""This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. Buy properties now - even if cash flow is lower, you're purchasing for the long-term."

Do you find yourself sometimes soooo busy with all of the other aspects of running a business, that you don't have time to be a 'leader' in any real way?The reality is Small to medium-sized business owners often find themselves immersed in day-to-day operational tasks, leaving little time for strategic thinking and leadership. The never-ending to-do list can consume their focus, hindering their ability to lead their teams effectively.When leaders are constantly caught up in the busyness of running the business, they may inadvertently create a leadership vacuum – where no real leadership exists in their business. Without strong leadership, teams may lack direction, engagement, and a clear vision for success.It's crucial for business owners to recognize that effective leadership is not a luxury but a necessity for long-term success. It requires a shift in mindset from being solely focused on operational tasks to prioritizing leadership as a critical aspect of business growth and sustainability. Carving out dedicated time for leadership activities is essential. This might involve delegating operational tasks, restructuring workflows, or reevaluating priorities to free up time for strategic thinking, team development, and communication.Strategies to Lead Effectively amidst Busyness:Empower and Delegate: Identify areas of your business where you can delegate responsibilities to capable team members. Empower them with trust and autonomy, allowing you to focus on higher-level leadership tasks. Systemise and Streamline where possible. Automation, outsourcing, or implementing effective systems can help optimize your business operations, freeing up time for leadership.At the core of leadership you need to:Communicate the Vision: Clearly articulate the vision, values, and goals of your business to your team. Effective communication ensures everyone is aligned and working towards a common purpose, reducing the need for constant micromanagement. Nurture a Supportive Culture: Foster a culture of open communication, collaboration, and trust within your team. Encourage feedback, provide regular updates, and create opportunities for team members to contribute their ideas and insights.Communicate - effectively – always.
Streamlining Operations and Achieving Business Success Effective systemisation is essential for business success, providing time optimisation, reliability, and consistency. Systemology, rooted in the Pareto principle, emphasises streamlining the critical client flow to maximise profitability. Team buy-in and clear communication are crucial for successful systemisation. Certainty, clarity, and performance are key elements of an effective systemisation strategy. By enhancing these principles, businesses can significantly improve their systemisation efforts and reap substantial rewards. In this episode of The ToolShed, I have James Brown, a seasoned business consultant with over 20 years of experience helping organisations implement systems and processes to improve team productivity, efficiency, and overall business performance. In 2018, James founded BizTech Guru, a consulting business dedicated to helping business owners achieve greater time freedom and business success. His approach heavily draws on his expertise in SYSTEMology, a revolutionary methodology for systemising businesses. In recent years, James has partnered with SYSTEMology to run their group training programs. He has now helped hundreds of people from around the world to implement this simple yet powerful methodology. Key takeaways: Importance systems and processes in place that result in time freedom, reliability, consistency, and other factors Orienting the team members on why the new procedures will make their work easier What Critical Client Flow is, and how will systemising this help the business owner step back Assessing storage of process to transform systemisation as part of the team's DNA BizTech Guru helps systemise business so that owners can spend more time for themselves All this and more, on this week's episode of THE TOOLSHED.

She started Pingo Space eight years ago as a place for children to develop creative and critical thinking skills as well as explore their passions and potential.

There is nothing like life getting busy to throw all the best intentions to the wayside. We are almost at the time of year when the wheels come off the New Year Resolutions we set only weeks before. Why? Because although we might have all the best intentions and made some excellent plans, if we don't have the right tools to support us, it ain't gonna happen. To help you combat this when it comes to your goals, I'm going to share my top 7 investments that I've made to systemise my social media and marketing. And even better, a few of them are very helpful across the business board! Are you ready? Let's jump in.

Most entrepreneurs start their businesses because they want more time freedom. To enjoy their life and to not be tied down. So why do we get so caught up in hustle culture that we end up working 10-hour days and neglecting our personal lives? I've built my business on 4-hour work days (working 20 hours a week or less). A business that allows me to travel, prioritise self-care, take long breaks whenever I need to - all while bringing in more than enough income to sustain my lifestyle... and in this episode, I'm letting you in on exactly how I did that! In this episode, we'll be talking about: The rise of hustle culture and how unhealthy this narrative is Why the amount of hours you work doesn't have to equate to the amount of income you bring in 6 things you can do to free up more time in your business while bringing in more income
This season is taking you behind the scenes – as well as taking you behind the curtains of my businesses, I'll also be talking to dynamic entrepreneurs, and smart experts who have the secrets and tools for success. You can also expect more chats with my business besties, and my mentees. As an entrepreneur, there are many hats to wear, many people to get (and keep!) onboard with your vision… and often competing priorities to navigate. You cannot afford to drop balls. FACT: Being organised is a non-negotiable if you want to have a successful business. The ability of your business to grow is dependent primarily on one thing: YOU. Each level of growth of your business will require you to upgrade your capacity and capability… and running around constantly in “shitshow mode” is NOT going to get you there. In this week's episode, I'm sharing the Masterclass I hosted last week. I step you through the three key life systems to unlock max time, mental bandwidth and energy for you to build the business and life of your dreams. You will learn: ✔ The most critical hour of the day for you and your business ✔ How to live an intentional week ✔ The diary dates that should be on every entrepreneur's weekly schedule ✔ The five reasons to outsource tasks ✔ How to overcome the guilt associated with outsourcing ✔ How to create your home processes manual (yep, I did this) … basically, I'll get you from shit show to rock show! In the Masterclass, I talk about my Bold Darling mentoring program. Doors are open now until Thursday 23rd June. If you're ready to grow your business in a way that supports YOU, find out how being a Bold Darling member will change both your life and your business at: bolddarling.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To be a great leader, you need to be a great SUSSER and in this episode of People With Purpose, David discusses the acronym and how it works when it comes being the leader of a team. KEY TAKEAWAYS To SUSS is to realise – and to realise is to make things happen. S – Serve – As a leader you are there to serve others. U – Understand - Others first – people know instinctively if you care and respond accordingly. S – Simplify – Make it as easy as possible for your team and your customers to get things done S – Systemise – for consistency and to empower people to develop and grow E – Execution – the difference between good and great is getting things done R – Results – focus on outcomes that fulfil your purpose and the financial results will follow Learning from others can help you grow your business a lot faster. Having a motivated team means your business reaps dividends. Creating the best team takes an investment of time and money and enables you to fulfil your mission – Don’t let great people slip away due to your neglect. BEST MOMENTS ‘There’s a direct correlation between how happy your people are and how happy your customers are.’ 'Every business works as part of a team and that team needs a leader.’ ‘Seek to understand before you seek to be understood’ ‘You don’t recruit good people, you create them.’ People With Purpose People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no-one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell and this show is where these stories come to life. ABOUT THE HOST David Roberts is a highly regarded CEO, mentor and investor with 30 years experience across multiple sectors. As an intrapreneur and entrepreneur David has bought, grown, started and sold several businesses, working with values driven start ups, award winning SME’s and multi-national corporations on strategies for service excellence, leadership and profitable growth. David’s passion is for purpose and creating an environment where everyone can succeed, through building teams that get things done, execute on their mission with passion, deliver exceptional service and really make a difference.

What You'll Learn From This Episode: How to break through from hitting the ceiling Why desperation is not the solution Knowing what does success look like Related Links and Resources: Greg's team developed a 'system to create systems' and they can find that at http://bit.ly/system-for-creating-systems Summary: Greg Gunther is an accomplished author, coach and speaker who knows first-hand the elation of business success and the desperation of failure. No overnight success, Greg has the experience behind him that can help business owners to fast-track their own success. Adding to the knowledge gained from working with businesses over the last three decades, Greg's role has now grown to become a certified SYSTEMologist™. Greg believes that the true and lasting value of any business can be found in the maturity and efficiency of their business systems, their ability to replicate best practices and consistently produce desired results. Here are the highlights of this episode: Greg typically works with 4 to 50 employees, but mostly those who felt like that they hit the ceiling and they're not breaking through or just not sure how to actually grow from it. It's a question that you ask yourself "what is it that I need to do to take me away from this daily grind?" because a lot of owners is caught up of getting a lot reliance from everyone. Then they start to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and sometimes at the point of desperation. It's that state of being lost and feeling a lot of tension. The biggest mistake Greg sees is when these folks don't ask for help. It's a mindset thing, you need to be able to shift from not having to do things the way you always done them. Some keeps on doing what they've done and they just keep on rewriting history. Others are throwing more money into people and often that's not the solution at all. Also, hiring out of desperation and not getting the right people is also another mistake. Greg has shared with us what does a success look like; it's not monetary reward but getting that free time back. It's like spending a month away from your business and being on the phone or checking in, knowing that the business is in good hands and being profitable while not being there. It's knowing that you put great people in place, doing the right things at the right time. And it's also a business asset when someone is willing to pay a hefty money because of your good service. That's typically what success is for Greg. Greg's Valuable Free Action (VFA): Start to write down or map all the task that have to happen in your business. The thing you need to understand what goes on in your business to know how to make it work.
Entrepreneur, Author of ‘Stress To Success’ and owner of award winning sales and lettings agency, Castledene Group John Paul joins the show to explain how he went from working in his business, to stepping back and working on it. Together they dive into all things systems and discuss the importance of nurturing your staff, how to start creating processes to systemise and why letting go and trusting people to systemise for you, can help boost your company's success. KEY TAKEAWAYS A good staff can write the systems for you. However, you can have the best system on the planet but if you have got staff who cannot understand it, then the systems are just going to fail. It is equally important to train and develop your staff as it is to implement successful systems. When you have really good systems you need to be able to manage and measure the staff based on something. If they follow the systems and trust the process, they will do well and you will get the results you want. However, if they don’t then things go wrong, it could be a case of their skillset or motivation. One important question to ask potential staff during their interview is about their values. This way you can see if their values align with your businesses’ values. It helps to weed out those who are not suitable for your business. So long as you are training them to the best of your ability, they have the best possibility of succeeding. The most vulnerable time for a new starter is right at the beginning. Do not just give them a manual and leave them to it. You have got to nurture that person to make sure that they know and understand your processes and help and support them throughout their career. Business owners tend to be more emotional whereas creating processes is a very logical thing. It is sometimes hard for people to understand the importance of a system and how to process and map it. It can be as simple as writing things down on a post it note and developing them deeper. It is important to use smart objectives. Make things measurable, specific, achievable and timebound. Success is achieving whatever your goals are. Whatever you want in life, so long as you achieve that, then you are being successful. You can systeminse anything. If you surround yourself with good people, you have the knowledge and the desire to systemise things by letting go and trusting people, then you can systemise any process. BEST MOMENTS “I have got an amazing MD who is far better at managing people than me.” “The only two things that can go wrong in a business are, is it a person issue? Or a process issue?’” “You systemise businesses to operate in a certain way.” “Once you get definition into a process, then it is a lot easier to measure and manage that process.” ABOUT THE GUEST John Paul is an entrepreneur, leader and owner of the Castledene Group, an award-winning sales and letting agency based in northeast England. Widely regarded as one of the leading experts in the property industry, John won the Sunday Times Outstanding Contribution to Lettings Award in 2015 and speaks at networking events all over the UK. John has grown Castledene Sales and Lettings into seven branches employing fifty staff. Thanks to the five part system, he no longer has anything to do with the day-to-day operations of the company. Through the Property and Leadership Academy he aims to improve management and leadership within the industry and consults with many companies around the UK. In doing so he helps people to systemise their businesses and make themselves non-integral to the running of the business. John is also on the Board of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA), representing the North of England. He has also just started his Masters in Leadership. John has three amazing children - Stephanie, Jack and Bella - and a long-suffering but supportive partner, Gemma.

This week on the Being Unstoppable Podcast, we are tapping into making your business run like a well-oiled machine when you aren't there. You cannot scale your business beyond you unless you have systems and automation in place. Ask yourself, if you were to step out of your business tomorrow for six weeks, would everything run perfectly without you? If not, the Scalable Business Lounge is for you! I guide you through exactly what you need to systemise your law firm and give you more freedom. In SBL we implement strategies that will help you to scale. So how do you create less work and more profit through systems and automation? Let's get into how you can begin to implement them into your business! *Reminder* Systemising is not a one-off job! Creating systems in your business is ongoing, with constant updates and new systems. - Patience required! Make a list of your most recurring tasks. What are your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly tasks and obligations? Write them down and identify what it is you need to systemise. I have a basic rule that I go by. If I need to do something more than once or get asked a question more than once, systemise it! 2. Decide on a directory or structure. Having these systems in a place that is easy to access for your team is essential. You could do this in many different ways; however, a few tremendous document-sharing platforms are Dropbox, Google Documents, Loom, or creating a free Google site. The process needs to be streamlined with all documents in the same place, making it easy for your team to access. 3. Break down each activity. Once you have the list of every repetitive task in your business, then you need to break it down into the below four pillars; The process The tools that are required to do the task The people needed to do the task The strategies What is necessary for each pillar? 4. Identify ways to improve the system. Just because you have established a system doesn't mean it is the best way or that it will work right away. The system doesn't always work when you first create it - trial and error is how you will unravel your most sustainable/effective strategies. Eliminating bottlenecks and streamlining is your systematic goal. Ask questions, critique, and make changes to your new system as you go. 5. Test the system for 4-6 months, then update. Once you feel you have perfected your system in step 4, it is time to run with it! Test the system for 4-6 months, then come back to review. Did this system resolve the issue, and did it meet the goal? The whole thing with systems and automation is to allow you more time; is that what this system did? Put a meeting time in your calendar for 4-6 months after establishing the system and review it with your team to discuss improvements. Systems take a while to perfect, but you will thank yourself when you have more freedom because your business runs perfectly without you. So start Start slowly, don't rush these automations. Know that it will take time. Yes, creating systems may be time-consuming, but this is the primary way that you will scale your law firm and have more freedom! If you want to free up more time, I guarantee this strategy will set you up for just that! If you would love to dive deeper into exactly how to create these systems, I have just the place for you! The Scalable Business Lounge will not only allow you to gain more freedom, but it will also implement the most suitable tools for your business to scale… Fast!

In this episode, Dr. Steve Day walks you through the process he and his team take clients through to enable them to outsource most of their workload in an affordable and efficient way. He covers what to outsource first, how to get rid of all those tedious tasks, and explains how to manage a remote team effectively. If you follow Steve´s how to systemise and outsource guide you will have a massive head start on your competitors. So, please click through and spend 10 minutes listening to what he has to share with you. KEY TAKEAWAYS About three-quarters of businesses don´t take on any staff. Around 90% of firms last less than 10 years. Often, because their owners spend too much time doing mundane tasks instead of marketing and growing their business. Spending a few hours working out which of your tasks you should outsource is a sound investment. Offloading just 1 hour of work a day frees up 6 weeks a year! Systemising your business is the key to successful outsourcing. Recording yourself doing certain tasks is an easy way to create instructions for your team. Steve explains exactly how to do it in this podcast. It is also possible to get your outsourced team to do a lot of the systemisation. Steve briefly explains how in the podcast. Empowering your staff is essential to keep the work flowing and ensure processes and systems are adapted, as the business changes. Task assignment and tracking platforms are a really easy way to manage workflow. Steve shares several usage tips in this podcast. Your focus should be strategy, leadership, and growth. Getting stuff off your back gives you the headspace and energy you need to enjoy life and grow your business. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you can outsource, say an hour a day, that´s six weeks’ worth of time, over a working year. ´ ‘Empower your staff.’ ‘Just scale by getting your team to do the hard work and create your systems, moving forward.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook Group: Systems and Outsourcing Systems and Outsourcing Website YouTube Dr. Steve Day ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change the way he worked. He switched to running his businesses remotely and after totally nailing this concept he decided to spend his time helping other small business owners do the same. Steve’s been investing in property since 2002, has a degree in Computing, and worked as a doctor in the NHS before quitting to focus full-time on sharing his systems and outsourcing Methodology with the world. He now lives in Sweden and runs his UK-based businesses remotely with the help of his team of Filipino and UK-based Virtual Assistants. Most business owners are overwhelmed because they don't know how to create systems or get the right help. Our systems and outsourcing Courses and coaching programme will help you automate your business and work effectively with affordable virtual assistants.

The promise of technology for most consultants, coaches and services businesses rarely pays off, in large part because they lack the kind of intelligent strategy Gareth Everson shares in this show. Gareth founded software company Connectably https://connectably.com/ to help business owners who aren't naturally "software people" to systemise processes, understand marketing technologies, improve client experiences, get paid their true worth and increase their business' value. We talk hot tubs, party-loving alcoholics... and the Yes/No Game makes it's debut!

Over the last couple of weeks I've been working with clients on their marketing planning to see out the rest of 2020 and then into 2021. And when it comes to planning, I like to start with a ‘vivid vision' exercise: What would you like to achieve in your business in 3-5 years time? It's a useful exercise to repeat every year too. It's easy to get bogged down into our day-to-day work, trying to get stuff done and tick things off our to-do list. And I guess we always have a vague idea in our mind of where we're heading, so our head immediately turns to strategy and that never-ending to-do list… But not being super clear on your vision means you could accidentally grow your business into something you don't really like or want. The fact is - not everyone wants global domination or a billion dollar business. Some people would really love to have a profitable, flexible lifestyle business. A business that fits in around their family, or that doesn't lock them into a corporate job they don't love. Some people want to have a side hustle that generates extra income for the family. And others want a business that gives them the location-freedom to travel. If that's you, then tune in to this episode where I'm joined by my guest Chelsea Papdopoulos from shoe boutique Tiptoe and Co. Listen as Chelsea shares her business journey, from start-up to now running her profitable, flexible, lifestyle business.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures have seen a worldwide acceleration in growth of eCommerce retail. We have entered a period of hyper-evolution, where consumer behaviour and the technology that supports buying online has changed forever. Now, the equivalent of 5 years of “gradual shift” into ecommerce will be compressed into two quarters. eCommerce platform Shopify is already handling Black Friday level traffic daily! How do you manage such rapid growth? As tempting as growth in hyper-speed is, it's incredibly difficult to manage. Keeping on top of your supply chain as well as managing the human resources to fulfil such rapidly increasing order volumes is HARD! & mistakes are easy to make. How do you keep up without derailing your business completely? Well buckle in - here's what you need to do RIGHT NOW to facilitate your growth! Systemise to Supercharge Growth This week my guest on the podcast, Lisa Munro from Happy Tummies, shares her step-by-step process for documenting systems and procedures. Yes, I realise this sounds like an incredibly boring topic, but the potential upside from doing this yourself is absolutely MASSIVE! Lisa was prompted to do this after a bout of illness left her totally incapacitated and she realised that no-one else knew how the business operated. No-one could help with ordering or pick-and-pack or marketing. It was a complete disaster! But now, despite basically tripling her revenue basically overnight with COVID-19, her systems have made it easy for her to expand quickly and with the confidence that everything will be done exactly the way she wants it. So if you've ever felt like, “it'll take too long to teach someone so it's easier if I just do it myself”, or “I can't outsource this because no-one knows how to do it just like me”, then this episode is for you!
