If running your business feels like you're in a hamster wheel, you might find it challenging to cultivate growth.

When you're bogged down by admin-related to-do's, serving customers, managing your people, and more, you're missing out on opportunities that can boost sales - and your business.

This is where systems and processes come into play, and having them in place can help you achieve sustainable expansion across your entire operations.

But how do you go about developing systems and processes? And how do you set them up to ensure the success of your business?

In today's episode, our guest Jordan Schanda King gives us her insights on the importance of SOPs in your business, whatever the size.

Jordan is a serial entrepreneur and expert in business optimization. She runs a Contract COO + Team agency specializing in full operations management for coaches and service providers. With an all-female team of VAs, Copywriters, Marketers, Social Media Managers, and Tech Gurus, they help female founders scale without burning out so they can build a sustainable business they love.

After learning the hard way how to run a business that she loves (while also growing her family), Jordan is excited to share her expertise with other women on this entrepreneurial journey.
