Leverage, Systems, Automate, Outsource - in That Order

What this episode covers

In this episode Catherine discusses what process she follows when she is looking to outsource tasks within her business. She also explains why it’s important to use this process before choosing whether to outsource the tasks or hire another person.      KEY TAKEAWAYS  It’s important to create your systems and automate them using software before you look to outsource.   It’s easy to think that you just need another person that you can pass the work onto when really there might be a piece of software that can hep before another person needs to get involved.  Set up an online tool that requires no human intervention at all so that if someone’s ill or you’re away, your work is still getting done. This will also allow your staff to get on with the higher level tasks that need doing.  Leverage what’s already out there that exists before you look to create your own. Knowledge, books, experience etc…   Have you created systems and got the knowledge out of your head in order to run your business?   Once you’ve created your systems and have clear checklists and steps for each task that needs doing, start looking to automate and outsource.  Sometimes it’s better to get started and improve later.    BEST MOMENTS  ‘You don’t need all of your ducks in a row’  ‘Never look to replace a human with outsourcing’  ‘There will always be new systems created along the way’     VALUABLE RESOURCES  Zapier: https://zapier.com/  The Leveraged Lifestyle Podcast iTunes: www.bit.ly/itunesllpodcast  Stitcher: www.bit.ly/stitcherllpodcast  Leveraged Lifestyle Community: www.bit.ly/llocfbgroup  VIVA Club: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva  Life Leverage Online Masterclass: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/masterclass   Join our VIP Investor List: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/vip    101 tasks report: www.turnerinvest.co.uk/viva     ABOUT THE HOST  Catherine Turner     Catherine is host of the iTunes No.1 business podcast Leveraged Lifestyle, she is an entrepreneur, businesswoman, Inspirational Speaker, world record holder, Founder of Turner Invest and a mum of 2!     Catherine quit being an employee in 2013, after working more than 50+ hours on average a week, over 3 jobs.
