Systems. Most of the time, they get a bad reputation for being boring. After all, systems make running a business somehow predictable. But whether they’re boring or not. Systems exist in every single business. While other entrepreneurs document their systems and processes… Some only have them in their heads, which often leads to underperformance. Why? Because only when you document the best way to do something can you reap the full benefits of that system every single time. In short… The best results become repeatable. In this episode of the Well-Oiled Operations Podcast, I put together five systems that will either save or make money for every business. The Key Questions What are systems? How often should we check in on contractors and team members? How can we automate the transition from prospect to client? How can we get former clients back?   What You’ll Learn The value of time audits The process that sets the tone of your relationship with clients How to consistently track your numbers How to serve cl

In this episode of the Well-Oiled Operations Podcast, I speak about everything you can do to recession-proof your business. The Key Questions How do I recession-proof my business?

How to get people to care about your business as much as you do! Entrepreneurship can feel so lonely.  You carry all the weight on your shoulders.  Even If you’re lucky enough to have a team, you can still feel like it’s all up to you.  It can feel like people are just showing up to check off boxes and cash a paycheck but if something goes wrong, you’re the one that has to fix it.  Your constantly putting out fires you didn’t start.   I hear this over and over, “no one cares about my business as much as I do.  How do I get my team to want this as much as I do?” It feels like its impossible, yet you know that there has to be a better way, because this way isn’t working.   The good news is it is possible, but there are a few steps you need to take to do it right.  So How do you get buy in? Share the vision and how they impact it Don’t just share we’re trying to hit 500 clients, or $750,000 in annual revenues.  Explain what that means.  Who do you help, how do you serve.  For us, we help people get their lives
