In this episode I share how to identify processes that aren't working - and how to fix them.
We spend so much time making sure our systems and processes are set up correctly, but what about the maintenance side of the equation?
Make sure you're not only leveraging your systems and processes to the fullest, but also recognizing when one of them might be broken.

How do you create a system that will remove you from the day-to-day of your business?
In this episode I share 4 steps you can take in order to remove yourself from some of the repetitive, mundane - yet important - tasks in your business, so you instead can focus your energy on other things, like new ideas, improving already existing things in your business, and freeing up time so you can spend it on - whatever you want!

Creating systems and processes in your business isn't always as cut and dry as following 3 simple steps. Sometimes things come up in your business that you haven't prepared for - that you may have never expected to be creating a system or process around.
That was certainly the case for us when it came to setting up a system around following up (and recovering) missed payments for Podcasters' Paradise.
In this episode I walk through how we did it, and how you can approach similar situations in your business.

Documenting your systems and processes - much like creating the system or process itself - might seem like a lot of work and time and effort.
That's because it is. It does take work and time and effort to put systems and processes in place - and furthermore, to actually document them.
In this episode I share how to document your systems and processes and why it's so important.

You can't create 10 systems at once, and that's exactly why I recorded this episode. I want to share a few of the most common systems every business should have in order to give you a place to start.
I'm going to go big-picture here; I'm not going to talk about the several processes that might live under each of these systems in detail. But we'll get there - we'll be diving into each of these systems individually in future Kate's Take episodes.
Today, we'll be discussing Marketing and creating a system for Outreach and Networking.

We all know about the importance of setting goals, “doing the work”, and learning from our mistakes, and while we can’t forget about those critical success factors, we also can’t forget about our blindspots.
Just like in the physical world of driving, not being aware of these blindspots may be limiting you (at best), and severely hindering your success (at worst).
In today's episode I chat with Phil Ferrante of bFitnLive about 4 things that could be sabotaging your success.
