How have the operational areas of your business impacted your overall results? How do you balance staying engaged with your business's strategy while delegating operational tasks? Have you encountered any issues with completely delegating without oversight?
In this episode, I talk about the challenges of growing a business in a sustainable way, especially when it comes to operations. I highlight common mistakes founders make, like only addressing operational issues during a crisis or hiring the wrong people. I also discuss how important it is to make operations a key part of the business from the start and how to avoid these mistakes for better efficiency and smoother growth.
I emphasize the need for a well-rounded approach to operations, including regular check-ins, clear documentation, and a steady strategy. I also talk about the importance of hiring the right people and offering them proper training.
To wrap things up, I invite you to join us for the launch party of the Strategic Ops Institute on October 9th . At the event, you'll get useful insights into planning for the next year and operational improvements, while celebrating the new brand. There will also be training sessions and exciting giveaways, like a coaching session, a planner, and more. Don’t miss this chance to set your business up for success in the coming year!
