🎙 For some small businesses, systemization is an easy process with excellent results. However, for others, it can be a hindrance to their success. Check this episode and learn what systemization means, where it came from, how to use it to its full potential, and how to avoid common mistakes.
Why do some business owners succeed in systemization while others fail to grasp the opportunity to free themselves and create the life they dream of? What are the differences between these two types of people?
KEY TAKEAWAYS: Strategies for Effective Small Business Systemization
- When a single business leader is loath to take that first step and hire an assistant, that’s the reason for failure. They may also fail to hire the right person for their needs. Hire a dedicated staff member for documentation.
- Some people aren’t convinced by the systemization model. When they encounter a barrier, they revert to old ways of working.
- Existing staff sometimes feel that notating their tasks in a way that anyone can complete makes them no longer necessary.
- The best way to sell to someone is to believe in it 100%. This is how you can see systemization past the early stages: buying it and being convinced of its efficacy.
- Steve’s company hires staff members who are familiar with the systemization model and the software and applications involved. He does this to facilitate the effective adoption of the systems needed to automate.
- Experience the benefits of systemization yourself. Hire your systems creator, record your task and get them to document it. You then have an example of how quickly and more manageable your job is. Then demonstrate it to your existing staff. Show them how you can offload mundane tasks from them. And they can spend more time doing what they like.
BEST MOMENTS: Small Business Systemization Insights
‘It’s overcoming these challenges for our clients and myself over the years. I think I’ve got a pretty good picture now about the key things that actually make the biggest differences between someone being successful or not.’
‘Whatever it is that comes along, in the hundreds of different possible obstacles that you’ll be hit with while you go through this journey if you haven’t totally convinced yourself that the Holy Grail of business is to systemize, then you will give it up, and you will go back to your old ways.’
‘Any idea you’re trying to sell to somebody? If you don’t believe it yourself, you won’t sell it.’
‘The ones that find the path the easiest are like me, those with no staff, so anyone coming in can just come into this new world of systems.’
‘If someone can step in to help while they’re away because their work has been documented, that person won’t come back to chaos.’
