In this episode of the REALIFE Process podcast, we dive deep into the critical fifth "P" of business: Processes. Join me as I unpack the importance of documenting processes within your business, a practice that transformed my own journey from a solopreneur to managing a growing team. I'll share personal anecdotes and lessons learned, including the challenges I faced when I first started hiring and lacked documented procedures. We'll explore practical steps to identify, document, and store your business processes, making sure you have a solid backup plan if you ever need to step away. Whether you're running your business solo or managing a team, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you create a smoother, more efficient operation. Plus, I'm issuing a special challenge: document five key processes in the next 30 days and share your progress with me. Don't miss out on this invaluable conversation aimed at helping you grow and stabilize your business!
