Do you experience FOMO when you hear your fellow entrepreneurs talking about the latest tools they use, like ClickUp, Monday, or Asana, and wonder why you haven’t used these tools yet? Are you feeling disorganized in your business because you don’t have systems and processes in place and documented? Do you keep hearing that running your business would be so much easier if you set up automations?
In this episode of the Sassy Strategist podcast, host Kim Dawson interviews Business Efficiency Expert, Yvonne Heimann, where the two discuss what it means to set up systems in your business, and why digitizing them isn’t a requirement for them to be effective. Yvonne talks about the importance of knowing what works for you, and what doesn’t, using your own values and priorities as a guide to creating systems rather than what everyone else is doing. She shares her insight around using tools in your business, and why tools won’t solve your problems. Her philosophy - first, decide what you want, then use technology to help you make it happen.
KEY POINTS
* You already have systems in place - regardless of whether or not you’ve documented them.
* First, create the systems, then digitize them. Tools won’t do this for you.
* Your values and priorities will guide how you set up your systems.
* Follow your own path - don’t worry about what works for others.
* Your clients don’t care about the details of your process - they care about the client experience and getting the results they want.
