Its been awhile since my last podcast… In fact, trolling through my admin panel here, I saw over 21,000 people have listened to me ramble on! To me, that’s pretty damn amazing.
So here I go again! A podcast about automating your business!
For those that are unfamiliar to business automation; automation is when you build your business to a point where you are no longer a crucial piece of the puzzle. And for those that don’t want to manage the day to day affairs of their operation, automation is the key.
Basically, what business automation does is outsource your tasks to people or groups that are trained to handle them more effectively. Not saying you aren’t doing a bang up job, but time is crucial - and the one resource that we can’t get back. When you thought about starting your own business, were you thinking or creating a job for yourself? Or were you looking for freedom?
The reason I bring this up now is it is a process I have been trying to come to grips with recently. I simply have to much work to do myself, and I am the bottleneck preventing my company from growth. Hopefully, if I start taking myself out of the picture and lining up a process that supports it all, I will be able to manage it more effectively!
