Free Yourself From Your Business
As entrepreneurs, we get into this business to make an impact and have freedom and flexibility as we do it. Yet, too often we get bogged down with the details of running a business. Austin explains why implementing the right systems will free you from this trap. By systemizing and mechanizing all the non-creative aspects of your business, you’ll free yourself up to do the work that you actually feel called to do.
The first thing to do is get really clear on who you serve. By streamlining your business so that you serve a particular type of client, you’ll eliminate many possible complications. You’ll then be ready to easily replicate what you do.
Mindset and Mission
Austin explains how much of this comes down to mindset. You need to be clear on what your mission is. The better you understand this, the better you’ll understand how to get there. This will help you realize what you can actually do to move your business forward.
It’s important not to try to change everything at once. Austin emphasizes the importance of small incremental change. By systematizing one thing at a time, you’ll make incremental improvements that will add up. Over a short amount of time, you’ll transform your business and your role in it.
