I recently heard a claim that you only need systems once you've hit the eight figures, but I beg to differ. Systems are your secret weapon from day one.
I get it; sales are crucial for cash flow, but imagine this: what if you could move faster, stress less, and, dare I say it, find joy in your business journey? That's the magic of systems.
Today, we're delving into the top systems you need in your toolbox for that sweet business freedom.
1. Personal Finances:
Let's kick off with the cornerstone—your personal finances. Your business is all about freedom, right? And that includes financial freedom. So, link up those bank statements, retirement accounts, and use tools like YNAB or Pocketsmith to make tracking a breeze.
2. Wealth Building:
Now, personal finance leads us to wealth building. Allocate a solid chunk of your efforts (I'm talking 30%) to building wealth. Ever heard of a solo 401k? It's a game-changer for business owners. Max out those deductions.
3. Accounting System:
If you haven't embraced this yet, no shame. Your business accounting system is your financial compass. Plus, if you ever plan to sell your business, those records are your golden ticket. Take charge, dive into the metrics, and watch your business thrive.
4. Sales Funnel:
This is a pivotal system for sales and marketing. From website to lead magnet to email campaigns, guide your leads seamlessly. Why? Because over 75% of marketing efforts often don't convert to sales. Don't let your efforts go to waste.
5. CRM - Customer Relationship Management:
Managing relationships is a superpower. A CRM system is your crystal ball for understanding lost deals and reengaging clients. There's gold in those previous client relationships—don't leave revenue on the table.
6. Delivery System:
Last but not least, delivery. How fast can you deliver results? That's the name of the game. Whether it's a service, coaching, or products, create systems that ensure you're delivering value at warp speed. This is your ticket to escaping the time-for-money trap.
Remember, these systems aren't overwhelming. Start with your personal finances—this is your business's heartbeat. And as you integrate these systems, watch the magic happen.
