🎙 Steve explains how relying solely on people can sometimes become a pitfall that slows down your business. Drawing from his own early experiences with delegating tasks and facing the failures of doing so, Steve highlights how business systemization can create more efficiency and freedom.
He illustrates that, when used effectively, systems can streamline processes and reduce human errors. Ultimately, they can also help small businesses scale without relying too heavily on individual team members.
KEY TAKEAWAYS: Business Systemization for Small Business Owners
- Steve did not ask his first assistant to document everything she did while working. So when she left, Steve was back to square one, doing all the tasks himself.
- Get your staff to document each task they're doing so that you can easily delegate it to someone else when you promote them, when they leave, or if they go on holiday.
- Documenting and creating a system will also help reduce the cost of hiring, onboarding and training new staff.
BEST MOMENTS: Maximizing Efficiency Through Business Systemization
