If you really want to be more resilient in your business, the process of systemizing and automating your business will accomplish that. If you’re not convinced yet, you may want to continue reading to find out why it’s so essential to systemize and automate your business to increase resilience.
Increases Business Resilience
When you have a specific way of doing a task by creating a system, the task will begin to get done faster. Get used to doing something a certain way in a specific order. You will cut down on mistakes, notice problems more quickly, and correct your trajectory if something goes wrong, thus making your business that much more vital and flexible.
Reduces Personal Stress
If you don’t know what tasks to work on when you sit down to work each day, you’re going to work in a haphazard way that will cause stress. You’ll never feel done at the end of the day. Business owners have enough work to fill all their waking time and then some. If you want to feel done each day, learn to create systems, automate, and delegate what you can, and do everything else with a good process.
Enhances Efficiency
A process and a system will make you much more productive and efficient at whatever you do. It doesn’t matter if you are flying a plane or writing a novel – sticking to the same process repeatedly, which is the definition of a system, always enhances efficiency, cuts down on mistakes, and makes it easier to notice problems.
Improves Customer Experience
Even if you’re a business of one, having systems in place along with smart automation will improve your customers’ experiences in multiple ways. First, your deliverables will become more standard so the customer’s expectations will be met. While you do want to wow your customers each time, merely meeting their expectations will wow them these days.
Makes for a Better Work Environment
If you dread going to work each day, even if it’s your own business, you’re doing it wrong. Work doesn’t have to be a nasty four-letter word. Work can be pleasurable too. If you create systems and processes using smart automation to complete some of the tasks, you will look forward to getting to work solving your customer’s problems each day.
Helps Identify Delegation Potential
One thing small business owners need to do more of aside from automation is delegating. If you set up systems and processes that you document, it will be easier to hand that task off to someone else.
To develop systems in your business, write down recurring tasks, document your process, improve the process, and then make it a habit to use the systems and processes you’ve set up. As you do, you’ll become even faster and more proficient by habituating some of your business’s daily activities.
