(The audio is a little funny in this episode, apologies – hopefully it’s not too annoying. The content is important!).
Let’s be real, SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) sound like the most boring thing in the business world.
But what if I told you that creating a few simple SOPs could be the reason you finally get to take a holiday without your laptop… and return to zero fires?
In this episode, I’m walking you through a behind-the-scenes game-changer for reclaiming your time, avoiding overwhelm and giving your future self a step up. Because when everything lives in your head, even sending a newsletter becomes a scavenger hunt. We don’t have time for that, and frankly, we deserve better.
This one’s for you if you’ve ever:
Wasted 20 minutes figuring out how you did that thing last time
Dreaded delegating because “it’s just quicker to do it yourself”
Been the bottleneck in your own business
Let’s fix that, yeah?
Here’s what we’ll cover:
What an SOP actually is, and why it’s not just for corporations
Real-life examples of how solopreneurs (like you and me) can use SOPs
The exact steps to create your first SOP this week (even if you’re feeling maxed out)
How AI (hello ChatGPT
) can help you document systems faster
Why SOPs are a love letter to your future self – and the key to peaceful productivity
Plus: The little mindset reframe that’ll make SOPs feel less like “more work” and more like building a business that won’t fall apart when you’re offline.
What You’ll Learn:
Why SOPs are essential, even if you’re a team of one
How to make your systems repeatable, delegatable and stress-free
My dead-simple framework for writing an SOP (no corporate fluff required)
Tools and tricks to save time using Loom and ChatGPT
The real reason this tiny admin task is the secret to scaling
How to stop reinventing the wheel every damn week
