Introducing the Systems Made Simple Podcast!
Chances are you already know that time, energy, and effort are limited resources. You can only expend so much of them before you max out, because action is the least scalable resource you have as an online business owner.
The solution? Well-oiled business systems and processes behind the scenes to support you in doing what you do best as a visionary leader.
Look, we get it. The back end of your business isn’t where you want to focus. Right now, it’s a hot mess — which you HATE, and organizing it doesn’t seem to come naturally to you. Also, business systems aren’t as sexy or glamorous as marketing, networking, or shining in your zone of genius.
But unlike what most online experts will tell you, the secret to running a successful online business is not increasing your sales or beefing up your online marketing strategies.
It’s the degree to which you streamline your operations and create leverage within your business so you can spend more of your time in your zone of geniu…
