From Chaos to Profit – Business Systems to Save Time and Make Money

Systems Run the Business – Make them Robust to Save Time, Energy and Money

I’m thrilled to have you join me as we continue our journey from the hustle and bustle of chaos to the serene land of profit. Last time we delved into the transformative power of vision, mission, and culture. If you missed it, be sure to catch up Part 1 because today we’re diving into the meatier part of business systemization.

Systemization isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the lifeline of a thriving business. Remember, we’re talking about a nine-step process that will take your business from a jumble of operations to a well-oiled profit machine. And if you’re thinking, ‘Did we cover SMART goals?’ Yes, they’re the stepping stones to achieving your business vision.

First, let’s talk organizational charts. Imagine a tree – not just any tree, but a flourishing one with branches representing the various parts of your company. It’s crucial to map this out, even if, for now, your name is penciled in for most of the roles. This blueprint becomes your guide to growth, allowing you to proactively shape your team for the future.

Now, let’s introduce positional contracts. These aren’t your standard employment agreements. They’re dynamic, living documents that align each role with your business’s values, culture, and expected behaviors. Regular reviews ensure that these contracts remain relevant and continue to foster engagement and accountability within your team.

But what’s a role without performance metrics? That’s where Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) come in. They’re the compass that guides your business decisions, showing you where you excel and where you need to pivot. From lead generation to sales conversions, KPIs are the metrics that matter.

And how do you ensure consistency in delivering your service or product? Enter How-To systems. Whether they’re checklists, instructional videos, or visual aids, these systems ensure that your brand promise is fulfilled consistently, every time. Think of the golden arches of McDonald’s and their universally recognized offerings – that’s the power of a robust how-to system.

Lastly, Management Systems are the backbone of your business operations. They’re not about the nitty-gritty of your product or service but rather about how you close the month, manage your marketing, lead your team and the like. It’s about the broader strokes that keep the ship sailing smoothly and in the right direction.

Remember that the goal is to have systems running your business so that your people can run the systems. Keep them simple, accessible, and agreed upon by your team. A system that’s too complex or unused is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine!

If you’re eager to transform your business and reclaim your time while boosting your bottom line, I’m here to guide you through it. Don’t hesitate to reach out – let’s make your business work for you, giving you the freedom to focus on growth and innovation.

Have a great week building a business that not only runs like a dream but also brings your dreams to life!
