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.

Once you've taken inventory, you should have a clear picture of the types of tasks that help your business run and that you probably work on regularly. Once you've written out the steps to ONE of the tasks from your inventory, you'll have a complete list of everything you do every time that task comes up.

This is where it gets fun (and real): Now, it's time to determine efficiencies for every step within each of the processes you want to create.

In this episode, we'll cover Step 3 for creating systems and processes in your business!

What went down at Podcast Movement 2015? A LOT! In this episode, I give a full rundown of the amazing sessions, including our biggest lessons learned from the event.

Aug 6, 2015

The first step in creating any process within your business is to take inventory of everything you do on a repetitive basis.

Without knowing WHAT you're working on that contributes to your business, you're never going to know which tasks can have a process or system built around them.

In this episode I go into detail about how you can take inventory in your own business in order to take the first step in creating systems and processes that create freedom.
