Chaos Killer = Your Systems

Winging it works…until it doesn’t. Documenting processes saves time, sanity, and serious cash.

• Start with the Basics: Customer onboarding, order fulfillment… map out your critical recurring tasks.
• Who Does What: Clear roles and responsibilities prevent bottlenecks as your business grows.
• Tools are Your Friends: Project management software, SOP templates, etc., make this less daunting.
• Visualize It: Flowcharts make it easy for new hires to get up to speed without draining your time.
• Train, Don’t Just Tell: Walk your team through the process step-by-step to ensure adoption.
• Living, Breathing Documents: Revisit and refine your processes regularly, as your business evolves so should they.

Documented processes streamline operations, reduce errors, and free up your time for higher-level work.
