Creating business Systems is one of the first steps in replacing yourself in your business. Systems support your staff in their roles and create a reliable way of doing things in your business whether you are there or not. Get this right and you will also save a bunch of time in your business as things get done much more efficiently.
Start by clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of each person in your business. That way you can get the right processes and procedures in place and the right tools, equipment and technology that will support people in performing their role well.

Most business owners know that systemising their business is a good idea. In fact, if you do a task without writing it down, you’re going to be destined to repeat it forever. So why do most business owners never get around to systemising their business? There are two main reasons:
Often in a small business nothing is documented. The systems are all in people’s heads. This means that things end up being done inconsistently. Different people end up doing it different ways… which is not good for your customer, not good for your business and not good for you. Or

We went from $12K profit last year to over $270K this year — but more than that, we’re finally working together, with less stress and more time for family.
We were struggling financially. That’s now changed with turnover up 19% in the last 6 months and we are averaging 16% net profit every month.
Revenue is up 11 times. I have gone from working 50 hours a week down to 30…plus I can now take a month off from my business.
I was able to make real changes – fast. I cut my workload by 15-20 hours a week, grew from 2 to 4 plumbers, and tripled my turnover within 8 months.
Turnover went grew $30K to $500K/mth and I went from 80 hour weeks down to 20. I can go away knowing my team will do the right thing
My working week went from 70-75 to 45 and not working weekends. For the first time as a business owner I have work/life balance.
I’m less stressed and the guys get a lot more of my time into how things work. I have freed up 4 hours a day and enjoy much more family time.
I’m enjoying life much more. Sales have grown by 30% and profits are up 60% this year following a similar result last year. Plus more time for hobbies.
We have grown from 6 to 9 staff. Revenue is up 30% and we have made as much profit in the first 6 months of this year than all of last year.
The training and years of interaction we shared helped set me on the right path, shaping the mindset and framework I still rely on today. My business has never been better, and more importantly, I have found a great balance between work and home life, something I do not believe would have been possible without Rueben’s coaching and the invaluable lessons I learned during our time together. Highly recommend.
