SYS 070: Why Do Some Small Businesses Fail to Systemize While Others Succeed?

Why do some business owners make such a success of systemization, while others fail to grasp the opportunity to free themselves and create the life that they dream of? What are the differences between these two types of people?     KEY TAKEAWAYS  A reason for failure is when a single leader of a business is loathe to take that first step and hire an assistant. They may also fail to hire the right type of person for their needs. Hire a dedicated staff member for documentation. Some people aren’t convinced by the systemization model so, when they hit a barrier, they revert to old ways of working. Existing staff sometimes feel that if they notate their tasks in a way that can be completed by anyone, that they are no longer going to be necessary.  The best way to sell to someone is to believe in it 100%. This is how you can see systemization past the early stages, buying being convinced of its efficacy. To facilitate the effective adoption of the systems needed to automate, Steve’s company hire a staff member familiar with the systemization model and also with the software and applications involved.  Experience the benefits of systemization yourself. Hire your systems creator, record your task and get them to document it. You then have an example of how much quicker and easier your job is, to demonstrate to your existing staff. Show them how their mundane tasks can be offloaded from them and they can spend more time doing what they like.    BEST MOMENTS  ‘Its overcoming these challenges for our clients and obviously for myself as well over the years, that I think I’ve got a pretty good picture now about what the key things are that actually make the biggest differences between someone being successful or not.’ ‘Whatever it is that comes along, in the hundreds of different possible obstacles that you’ll be hit with while you go through this journey, if you haven’t totally convinced yourself that the Holy Grail of business is to systemize then you will give it up and you will go back to your old ways.’ ‘Any idea you’re trying to sell to somebody, if you don’t believe it yourself, you won’t sell it.’ ‘The ones that find the path the easiest are like me, the ones with no staff so anyone coming in can just come into this new world of systems.’ ‘If someone can step in help while they’re away because their works been documented that person wont come back to chaos.’    VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing/  Website: https://systemsandoutsourcing.com/welcome-1  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drsteveday    The RIGHT Assistants For Your Business by Dr Steve Day  http://bit.ly/sys-10   ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change the way he worked.
