When I started out in 2015, I was a one-person show. Things were manageable then, but my business grew so quickly over the next few years that it became too much for my hands to hold.
So much of my time was being spent on administrative work and customer service that my “real” work suffered:
- I canceled my podcast for six months –– DUMB!
- I stopped hosting live events for two years –– even though they were high ticket events ($2000 and up per person) — HORRIBLE!
- I canceled a $60,000 per year mastermind –– FOOLISH!
- I stopped writing a newsletter that brought in $9000 a month in recurring revenue –– FACEPALM!
You can see I left more money on the table than a horde of Vegas gamblers at a game of roulette.
The problem wasn’t my ability as a coach, creator, or marketer –– it was my inability to work like a real business owner. I didn’t have the proper systems to run operations and handle the growth I was experiencing.
Everything Changed When My Director of Operations, Chelsea Brinkley, Created These Workflows and Standard Operating Procedures
That’s when my then part-time executive assistant, Chelsea Brinkley, recommended she move into a bigger role in my business. She wanted to take over all operations so that I could stay in my zone of genius as a visionary and creator.
We met in Washington DC and for several days she pulled every random process, procedure, and workflow out of my scrambled brain.
One by one, Chelsea created standard operating procedures for nearly every activity in my business –– social media, sales, customer service, live events, podcast creation, booking, calendar management, travel, hiring contractors, paying contractors, and more.
Today, business is booming. I’ve never had more open space in my calendar to focus on the things that only I can do –– run masterminds, host workshops, grow my network, create content, and even write a book!
