#dactalk - For Entrepreneurs By Entrepreneurs

Systems can never replace relationships. Let's get that straight. However, systems can bring freedom from mundane and repudiative tasks that steal your time. There's a reason the assembly line was so revolutionary: it replaced the need for constant communication with understood next steps. For the entrepreneur and small business owner, smooth systems are not only the key to freedom in your day to day responsibilities but systems are also the key to freedom away from work. If you have setup an effective system, you don't have to be concerned with, "is my business going to be there when I get back," because your system sustains the business, not your presence. Again, this isn't a replacement for relationship or good leadership but it is a way to expedite items that don't require relationship and can amplify good leadership.
