Do you ever find yourself making that statement? Do you struggle with your staff delivering inconsistent service quality or handling customers with your level of professionalism? Do they sell your products or services as well as you?  For many business owners, the answer is NO!  So what is the solution? 
 
The default solution for too many entrepreneurs is to work lots of hours and do it yourself.  If this sounds like you, how is this "solution" affecting your lifestyle, time with those you love, and your amount of recreation? There is a way out! Put systems in place so others can do the tasks the same way you would, or possibly even better.          
 
Systems are your way of empowering your team to perform the work on a level as if you were doing it personally. View the word SYSTEM as an acronym for: Saving You Stress, Time, Energy, & Money! Systems reduce your hours and stress by empowering average people to do great work. Systems also ensure that customers receive the consistency they expect - each and every time. Sound too good to be true? Ask yourself: "How do other businesses grow beyond the owner?" - by creating systems to run the company, freeing the owner for strategic growth initiatives. Below are some simple guidelines for creating systems that work.

Keep them simple  
If the system or documented process is complex, then keep working to distill the activity down to its critical essence. When you thoroughly understand something, and present it well, it will become simple for someone else to replicate. When is it truly simple? - when someone else, unfamiliar with the task, can complete it using only what you have documented in the system.

Write only systems that make money or reduce risk
You are not in the business of creating manuals, so only create a system if it simplifies a task, improves quality, or speeds up a service. This will keep you focused. Start small and grow the system(s) with time.

Assure the systems you develop are used
Have you heard of the proverb: "What gets measured or monitored gets done"? As you create systems or document processes, include a monitoring or measuring protocol to insure the systems are used.  It doesn't do any good to write systems and put them on a shelf and never use them.  They should always be part of the business and continue to be improved as your business changes.


The next issue of the newsletter will have more tips, so stay tuned.
