The following is a guest post by my friend <\/em>Aaron Lynn<\/a><\/em>. I\u2019ve been getting emails requests over the years about how to implement systems into businesses. He\u2019s one of the best at explaining this topic.<\/em><\/p>\n

Everyone likes to talk about standard operating procedures (SOPs) and systems, but going from the idea of having them to actually working on them is different.<\/p>\n

As Charles put it to me:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy readers <\/em>LOVE <\/strong>the idea of adding systems to their businesses. They know that they\u2019re their own bottleneck to growth. However, there\u2019s a huge gap between knowing what systems are, and being able to implement them.<\/em><\/p>\n

Most books on systems thinking are too theoretical. I\u2019m wondering if we can create a framework that\u2019s simple enough for people to put into action.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of my past businesses was a consulting firm with about 30 staff. They had zero <\/em>systems when I arrived. There had always been a desire to systemize things, but they lacked the know-how and a specific process for doing so.<\/p>\n

Over the span of a couple of years, we systemized everything \u2014 daily operations, marketing, accounting and everything in-between.<\/p>\n

And more importantly, we put in place a systemization machine<\/strong>\u00a0for creating, maintaining and updating SOPs and systems in perpetuity.<\/p>\n

After this guide, you will be able do the same in your own business.<\/p>\n

What Are Systems and Why Bother With Them?<\/h2>\n

Most businesses start with just you. You\u2019re the marketing department, finance, and the person dealing with customer complaints.<\/p>\n

As the business grows, you\u2019re going to face growing pains because you can\u2019t do everything yourself. And hiring employees isn\u2019t automatically going to be the perfect solution.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you\u2019re building an e-commerce store. You\u2019re going to need a customer service (CS) representative at some point to answer emails.<\/p>\n

No systems:<\/strong><\/p>\n
