E87 | Strategically Developing Systems for Scale

Do you want to have a simple, sustainable, and scalable business? Do you want to create systems that will help you scale your business and remove yourself from everything that depends on you? Then this episode is for you!   In today's episode of the Lean Out Your Business Podcast, we'll dive into the different layers of systems that your business needs to scale sustainably. A lot of times people start at the SOP level. And they're actually missing an opportunity to really streamline things in their business, in a way that will really help to accelerate results.    So, first I am going to paint a picture of what it would be like if you had systems in your business, and then I am going through the 4 layers of systems that will help you simplify, systematize and finally scale your business   Topics Discussed: (3:14) - The importance of having systems in your business (9:39) - Simplify your approach to systems (10:28) - Strategic Systems (11:49) - Summary systems (14:19) - Sub-Systems (15:08) - SOPs (16.05) - Summarizing all the systems  (17:01) - How to know what system your business needs (18:39) - The Lean strategic planning framework (19:06) - The end-to-end sales and marketing system (22:15) - Sneak peek into our Simplify to Scale Ops Academy program   Work with Crista:   Want to learn more about working with Crista and the Lean Out Method team to simplify and scale your business?
