Those of you who know me – especially my clients – will know that an important cog in the machinery for building a business that works for you is the need to put in place Systems!!. A number of clients have recently had short breaks from their businesses and found that things still went well having implemented some basic systems.
Systems are a simple acronym for – Saving Yourself Time Energy & Money.
Most people in business do the work over and over again – but why is that?? They never take the time to write down Systems and put them in place. If the only place that you have a task detailed is in your head then you will be destined to do it forever & ever. If you have something that is a routine task, it should have a documented System, so write it down!
You need to get your business from being people dependant to System dependant so that as an owner you don’t have to keep on doing it!!
Some key points you will gain from creating systems are:
• Creating good Systems can dramatically increase productivity and profits
• Systems are the key to leveraging your time and your expertise
• You can create a system for every function in your business so that you do not have to run it
• Systemising will improve processes at every level of your business
• Systems prevent your business from wasting time & money
Did you realise it will take you 3, 6, or even 12 months to train someone without systems – whilst with systems it takes only 3, 6, or 12 DAYS to train someone!
So start today by writing down ‘how to do things’. As soon as you have systems in place you can free up your positions so that your business will give you profit – whether you go there or not!!
Think about it………….. and start making systems work for you TODAY!
