All Systems GO
The fabulous ladies at The Home Edit haven’t been saying “IT’S A SYSTEM” for years for no reason! They love their systems, and so do I.
One thing I implement in businesses wherever I can are systems:
Do you have a client onboarding email that you send out regularly? Write that out once in your drafts, copy & paste going forward and you are done!
Make templates for everything - emails, documents, info sheets, social media posts - you name it
If you have a team, make flow charts or diagrams so they are all following the same systems and protocols for tasks & projects
Anything that you can do to take the guesswork out, reduce the labor that you are doing or the amount of work that goes into a task is going to help you spend more time on the creative parts of the business that fuel your passion and make your business profitable. In turn, this all creates a more efficient way of operating your business.
Additionally, and speaking of a team, implementing any number of systems now will help you scale your business as you grow. This is true whether its growing from being a sole practitioner to a duo or to increasing by much larger numbers.
