Welcome back to Small Business School! In this week’s episode of the Business Builder series, we’re tackling something most entrepreneurs know they should be doing… but often avoid: building systems and procedures in your business (aka SOPs). But don’t worry—this isn’t about creating a stuffy, never-used operations manual. I’m walking you through how to build simple, repeatable systems that actually help you grow, without making it your full-time job. If you’ve ever said, “I know I need systems, but who has time?”—this one’s for you.
Key topics covered:
- What SOPs really are—and what they aren’t
- How to create effective systems in just 3 minutes using the tools you already have
- Why messy, imperfect SOPs are better than perfect ones that never get used
- Tips for building a culture where your team creates and owns the systems too
Whether you’re onboarding clients, posting content, or running payroll—this episode gives you a clear roadmap to make systems your secret weapon (without the overwhelm). Let’s get your time back and start building a business that runs without you in the weeds.
Challenge
A simple action step: pick one task you do regularly that you're ready to delegate. Record yourself doing it—using Loom, a voice note, or a Zoom video—and save it in an SOP folder.
