It is not as hard as you think

3 reasons for systemizing your business

Systematization is crucial for any company that wants to scale its revenue.

From where you are sitting, it might seem an impossible task, but I promise you that it is the key to achieving freedom.

The light is at the end of the tunnel.

Organization, delegating, and improved business posture are just a few of the advantages that come from systematizing your company.

1. Get organized! (and make sure that your procedures are standardized)

Everyone has experienced the frustration of looking through Google Docs for a tutorial or a list of things they need to know while simultaneously trying to recall the document's title or the user who created it. In the best case scenario, it's aggravating, and in the worst, it's total anarchy.

Systematizing your company, on the other hand, results in a system that is functional. It is essential if you never want your team frantically hunting for the appropriate steps to carry out crucial tasks.

To begin, systematizing ensures that your company follows a single, uniform approach for all of its operations (AKA creates standard operating procedures). On the other hand, it ensures that the SOPs are always located where you left them and that it is simple to locate them whenever you require them.

When everyone follows the same processes and procedures, your stress and anxiety will begin to subside.

Why is that? Because of predictability. When things become predictable, efficiencies begin to take place and before you know it, the process starts to run itself.

And even if your team member doesn't know how to do something, they know exactly where to look to find the answer. That means they ask you far less questions and get work done faster.

2. Delegate confidently

If you are unable to delegate any of the work in your company, you will never be able to grow it to a larger scale. However, business owners don't always feel comfortable delegating tasks to other people, so what typically ends up happening is that they try to handle as much of the work on their own as they possibly can.

And while this could be less stressful in the short term, in the long run it will cost you a significant amount of money. This is due to the fact that you are not spending an amount that is commensurate with the value of the task.

You are spending whatever it is that you are getting paid, and in the process you are putting off more important priorities, specifically tasks that generate you more money.

By constructing robust organizational processes, anyone can play any position in the company, even you (which is what you want!).

Because of this, you will be able to confidently assign tasks to others without having to worry about whether or not they will be completed. And even if the individual conducting it has no prior experience with the activity, they are familiar with the mechanism for determining how precisely you want the task completed. So that will be the approach that they take.

3. Acquire a large customer base by establishing operational systems

According to Scott Fritz, a serial entrepreneur and author of the book 40 Hour Work Year, the success and scalability of a firm are dependent on the founder stepping back and letting others run the show.

What I call "systematizing" your company.

This is due to the fact that your team will need to rely on established systems as you are less involved in the day-to-day operations and decision-making processes. In turn, this will lead to increased productivity as well as increased profits for your business.

For example, Henry Ford established the very first moving assembly line in the Ford Automotive facility in Highland Park, Michigan, in the year 1913.

Every worker on the assembly line was only responsible for one task (such as inserting a single component of the motor), which they were required to perform again and over again throughout the duration of their shift. The following step would be taken by another person.

As a result of the innovation, the process of putting together a car, which had previously taken twelve hours, it only took an hour and a half. Henry was successful in producing his Model T on a large scale, which led to a drastic increase in Ford's revenues.

Simply put, he standardized the process that was used to construct the car.

If you feel that you are constantly working "in" the business instead of "on" the business and feel that your goal of financial freedom has led you to a prison of your own design.

You are not alone, I used to be there as well.

I know have 5 companies and counting and work less than 20 hours a week on them - COMBINED.

It is not rocket science and I can help you do the same for your business.
