In this episode of the over givers anonymous podcast, we’re going to talk about processes. I’ve had some people reach out and say, “okay, I get that you’ve said I should document my processes, that it’s helpful, that it’ll help me to stay on track, that it’ll help me to manage my time better, but oh my gosh, it’s so daunting, how am I even going to begin this process?”. So let’s go over how I’d do it!
- You can actually give somebody that process And they can do the work for you while you’re doing something else.
- It might not feel like time-saving, because it takes you longer to do the task, but in the end, it does save you time because other people are now working for you while you’re off doing something else.
- There are some easy ways to do it. You can choose which one you want to use.
- This is the way I like to do it:
- Write down all the things you want to capture so that you don’t miss them.
- Set aside time to record the process.
- My favorite way to capture a process is to use loom
- I also like to transcribe.
- Upload the video to Otter.ai and auto transcribes it. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty darn awesome.
- My VA can then take that information and populate it into the template that I have already prepared for her.
I hope that that is giving you a light bulb moment where you figure out this isn’t actually as hard as you thought it was gonna be. Then when you hire someone they’re going to be so grateful that you’ve given them these documents because it’s going to save them time. They won’t have to guess how you do things the right way for you. Not only that, but you’re going to end up having much better quality employees in the end, and your employees are going to stick around, that’s a satisfaction guarantee. They feel satisfied because they know that they’re doing something that you want them to do. They’re doing something the way that you want them to do, there’s no guesswork, and you feel good that you’re hiring people who can do the things the way you want them to. So there’s a win-win here. So yes, it does take time, but I hope that this episode teaches you how that extra little bit of time is going to save you a ton of time in the future.
