If you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the lack of consistency and efficiency in your day-to-day operations, then you are not alone!

Involving team members in system creation processes is crucial for ensuring buy-in and ownership.

• Remember that people learn in different ways, so be flexible in how you teach and explain your systems.
• Take pictures or create visual aids to help team members understand and follow your systems.
• Overcome perfectionism and control by creating systems and allowing your team to take responsibility.
• Be consistent with your systems and lead by example to ensure your team follows them.
• Walk the walk and stick to your systems to avoid your team picking up bad habits.
• Continually evaluate and adjust your systems as needed to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
• Embrace systems as a way to create consistency in your business and deliver a high-quality service or product.
• Remember that systems are not just for large corporations; they can benefit small businesses as well.

The key moments in this episode are:
00:00:00 - Introduction
