💡 QOTD: What is the FIRST system you need to create in your business? Comment below!
For me, it's my campaigns. I like the idea of creating templates.
PS: not related, but.. for my house cos, I have a large section where watering so my garden is a big time-consuming choir. I have a watering system in place now to free up my time, so my garden waters automatically every day.
A system that will be a template to creating systems within my business... if that makes sense. lol
A template reminder of why it's okay ti allow myself as CEO to allow VAs to do my low hanging fruit.... then back office mosy important.
I need to create the system for my 5 minutes or more category. And my repeat tasks! Thanks for making it plain!👍🏽
@@jaynetrinette5523 You got this!
When I started systematizing, I got overwhelmed because I was trying to do a system for EVERYTHING. That’s a no go! After I started to only create systems for “important” tasks then it became sooo much easier. After all the major systems were documented, we started to work on the smaller less important tasks and optimizing. We’re still in the process but I would say probably about 70% there. Great info in this video!
Thanks and glad you found it helpful
Love it thanks for sharing
This channel is underrated as fk...people would rather hear people chant "S&P 500 to the moon!" than listen to this...
Appreciate that and would agree. :)
It's impossible to scale your business and manage the chaos of growing without creating systems. Thank you for giving me a foundation on where to start! Great video
You bet. What systems are you putting in place first?
Greg.... Love how you didn't just give tips, you gave solid reasons on the Why side. It's easy to put out the how, but not lay the foundation of WHY. Man the pass it on and handbook for next is great. I have done that over the years and it works!!!!!!!! Thumbs up BOSS.
thanks homie! :)
Yes!! As an efficiency specialist I always love anything that will give me more efficiency! Thanks for sharing, cheers!
For our service business of 17 years, our first system was the steps that each new job takes. So for example for new construction jobs, remodels or service calls each type of service has certain steps we follow for consistency and to get things done quickly without dropping the ball. Our next system, was how to bill or invoice for each type of job and how quickly that happens. (The faster we do this part the sooner we get paid so it was in our best interest to do this fast.) Our next system that we created was a schedule to keep on top of all the jobs. And the next was how to hire the right people. Then we had to set up a payroll system. We also had to organize our materials for each job and how to purchase them for the lowest cost.
Boom. Way to go!
Well done
Systems and automations are great for any routine tasks. They free up a lot of time to focus on areas that have a higher value add.
this is true!
this is true!
Excellent! The capture then document is so helpful. Sometimes we jump right in trying to document where it can become a headache. Capturing it first takes that headache away. It puts the process into one encapsulated space that we can go back to over and over until we have it properly documented. Thank you!
This entire video was so helpful, thank you! Most helpful is knowing what actually needs to be systematized and how to determine.
Great video! What was most helpful for me was the three questions you need to ask for each task to determine if that specific task needs a system
This is the channel I have been looking for! Thank you Greg :)
Yeah Boyyyyyy! Welcome!
I've been looking for a channel like this! Thank you!
Hi Greg! Just discovered your channel and so glad I did! I will be starting my online business within the next couple of months,and am doing research on what systems I need in place,and this video is perfect on explaining everything. Thank you!
Love it! Congrats and stay plugged in. Be sure to join our community over on facebook too. facebook.com/groups/SBLaunchPad/
Awsome.. help alot.. keep doing such a great work.
The most helpful piece of information for me was the "4 Core Areas" that need systemizing
Love it!
What you said about being able to pass on all the necessary information to a person filling a role when someone else gets promoted was very cool and logical. I don’t have a business right now but when I do I’ll remember this.
Thank you!
Thank you for the tips, Greg.
What was your biggest takeaway?
Greg's channel is awesome. He provides so much more value than other CZcamsrs and goes through it in a quick, helpful way. Thanks, Greg!
Appreciate that! Glad you're finding value!
The 4 pillars of what a system is and the book 📚 references. I can’t wait to master business building as I have several.😊
It was really useful. Thanks.
Awesome video
Thank you ❤
Greg, we definitely need to chat! I love the way you break down systems. I’m in need of some amazing systems in my biz right now. Can we Meer via zoom next week!

To my Dumb knowledge I Donot understand why the media and leaders are claiming victory before they get rid off TPLF; ONG Shane disarm their forces! You can not rule a country if you are not in control of all part of Ethiopia; if anyone thinks this war is Amhara and Afar problem you are a fool.: ,

Thanks for sharing. This is what I am building for my team in our web dev agency. And so far, it improved a lot. Eventually, we wanna automate what has been systemized. Luckily, we are all coders so that part should be fun :)
You really helped me am a farmer based in Africa (Zambia) I have been thinking why big companies like Coca-cola are not falling even when workers resign or the owner dies now you made to understand that it's a system that keeps the company afloat. I need too to learn how I can systemize my farm

Thank you for "Why System and When System"
Thanks a lot . The video was so helpful, will go straight away to application
Let’s do it.
Playbook! Love that. Going to make a playbook for each position of the team. Thanks! We have a 7 person upholstery/fabric shop & I'm maxed out on time. We need better systems.
Thanks Mr
it helped me! thanks for making me have the perfect business!
Our pleasure!
Thanks
Good stuff! The three ways to systematize the business is very helpful!
Glad you think so!
Hello! Your videos are great! Thank you! Which books would you recommend reading for systems?
I really like your approach and treating the sincerely
What was most valuable in that video?
thanks
Awesome video, great tips! What camera do you use?
This video is so helpful. The best part about it is the clear steps. Thanks so much for sharing Definitely subscribing :)
Glad you enjoyed it! What was the biggest takeaway?
I have been meaning to capture all of our systems...for years. It seemed like a mountain of a task to take on. The day to day of the business would always take over so I would never start until now. As I have started to archive our systems into one place I realize we do have quite a bit collected. It’s just all over the place! Best take away... Capture what you can while you are actually doing it and have your staff so it too . Oh and love Loom too!
@@cherylq-u8916 Start closest to the cash. I have a video on where to start. :)
All was a good start
i have alot to systemize ugh. great video , simple ..
Where are you going to start? :) Let me know if you want help.
Thank you so much. I am a new subscriber to your channel and this video has helped me to get started. I will check out others. Amazing. I needed this.
Let me know how I can help :)
Wow, how do I choose the best part of this to highlight?!
This video is 🔥 all the way around. I shared it with several people who need to understand the importance of systems.
For me, capturing the process As Is was a vital step
NIce takeaway and thanks!
Gold! 💪
In response to the end.
Loom was helpful. Tranual and google docs suggestion.
When to create a system. Most helpful, not many mention that. Cheers
Trainual shout out! Chris Ronzio is brilliant :)
This is gold. The Futur indeed keeps following you! 👋
👊🙏
Some great ideas here Greg. 👍 Best wishes from a fellow systems obsessive!
Thanks!
This is awesome! So grateful that I found your channel. I think you are blending processes and systems together. A group of processes make up a system or a group of systems. For example sales onboarding would be a process which would be a part of a larger Fulfillment delivery system. that's my thinking, feel free to correct me if im wrong.
Yes, new client onboarding would be apart of the overall client experience / delivery engine.
Thank you so much hoping to find a system to fufill my orders and one to create content as well!!
Best of luck!
Your mentor feed back is awesome man. May Allah bless you with all the happiness. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This was awesome! We've been using Trainual to write down everything, but this just opened my eyes to how we can be way more efficient in what processes we are creating. I wish I could see what your Trainual looks like to replicate.
Totally agree. I always encourage using Trainual alongside Loom. Loom is great for recording IT processes and walk-throughs, while Trainual is great for the platform to share it.
Reference book👍🤝
dope. very very helpful.

@@gregoryjhickman I am in the middle of scaling my business, always feeling overwhelmed, not sure where to start. 3rd year in business, and scaling without having systems documented, in place, kind of "improve on the fly" kind of thing, is impossible. Only now learning the details, and attempting to implement something. I wouldn't say any piece of information was most useful, but I would say how the information was presented was most useful. Simple, understandable, doable tasks that makes me feel better about starting.
@@teamxtreme9861 want to chat to see if we can help? You can send me an email
@@gregoryjhickman would truly appreciate that! I would love to.
Grab a time here: altagency.com/book
Superb I need your help sir
Greg, thanks for the video. Would you please give me a snap shot of how one would organize this in folders within Google Docs? Thanks in advance
tysjm!
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
Very small and new here, but was having trouble passing off what I can to my wife. This was great
What was your biggest takeaway? :)
@@gregoryjhickman I have workbooks made for accounting and scheduling and quotes. But I hadn’t thought about screen capturing everything and making a training workbook.
@@alecMh999 Boom! "sell the byproducts"
Super short and Helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
New Sub!
Welcome!
@@gregoryjhickman “ the GSD systems Man!” Love it! Let’s Get Stuff Done!
I don't know whether I gonna get your reply or not cause you are a busy person...Still, I wanna ask "Can you put an entertainment industry into a system??" For example "An ad film-maker company??" it is also one kind of entertainment industry...
Twilight Roamer can you clarify what you do as an ad film maker?
@@gregoryjhickman Let's say, I gonna make commercial ads for different kinds of products that will be shown on TV and Video sharing sites.
good
Great video Greg, are there any places I can find examples for Marketing, Sales and Fulfilment?
Thanks. marketing, sales and fulfillment what?
@@gregoryjhickman do you use flowcharts for each area? Or just have documented policies? I was hoping to see how you approach the marketing system in particular, a real bottleneck in my business.
I got better clarification
system in-the-go
Client on boarding and client fulfillment feedback
I listened to your channel...interesting, if you do not have any one that is during the line of work you are currently doing....how can you get a blueprint of a preexisting business systems....
Can you ask that a different way? Not sure I understand the question.
Marketing
Sales
Fulfillment
Back Office
Do you leverage flow charts to explain the oversight of the system ?
For the key engines of our business yes. Things like the acquisition engine, delivery engine, innovation engine, onboarding, etc.
The three questions
How are you connecting the people to the system so they know what to do? As you will have tons of systems but which order do they do them in and how does the worker know? Do you have a separate document that goes step by step for what systems the job is responsible for? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
I’ve done videos on how to train and onboard team members. It’s a combo of that and then knowing the system.
There are only a handful of systems a business really needs.
I’ve also talked about death by SOP. Most people over document.
Every biz is different. So until I understand yours my feedback would be too general
@@gregoryjhickman I watched your video on organizing your systems and I have it structured such as Marketing & sales division, administrative, and fulfillment. Would you only put very important things as systems such as - New Brand Launch System, Email marketing system, Media buying system, Customer retention system
and how would you make sure which systems are supposed to be done in which order and by who? Thanks!
What tools do you use to manage the playbook?
Started with google docs. Been moving things over to Notion.
If i create system should i make it 100% automated ? Or should I have to look into important tasks of my business like you know my business data
You’ll always monitor any system and automaton you use.
