New Year New Beginnings - Operations Audit

from Small Business Saturday’s Hosted by Terris Ayres

Welcome back to Small Business Saturdays — practical, no-fluff help for owners who are doing it all. In Episode 7: Operations Audit, we’re tackling the reason so many businesses feel chaotic even when sales are good: weak operations. If you’ve ever thought: “Why does everything depend on me?” “Why are we always behind even when we’re busy?” “Why do the same mistakes keep happening?” …this episode will help you find the bottleneck. In about 20–25 minutes, you’ll run a simple 1–10 scorecard across 7 areas that make or break execution: workflow clarity, roles & handoffs, SOPs, tools & communication, scheduling & capacity, quality control & rework, and inventory/supplies. Then you’ll circle your lowest score and choose one fix to run for the next 7 days — so your business gets more predictable, your team stops guessing, and you can stop being the system. Want to follow along? Grab the worksheet from the blog and do the audit as you listen.
