How to Create Your Procedures Manual - Your Business Runs On Systems For many small businesses, especially solo-preneurs, the systems that run your business stay in your head. You run on automatic during the day. Every morning you start the day engaging with new followers on your Business Page or your website. Or during the week you know that Friday morning is the time you use to engage on twitter. Do you process orders as they come in? Every day? Every two days? If you suddenly are gone who will know what to do to keep your business running? It could be something as simple as taking a vacation or it could be an auto accident. Having your systems written down makes it easy for someone to hold down the fort while you are gone. If your system is not in writing, it doesn’t exist. Kenneth Manasse Sr. Call it a system. Call it procedures. The name doesn t matter. The system does. How To Quickly Create Your Procedures Get a notebook, or Google Keep, or Evernote . For a week, write down what you do and how you do it.

Great stuff Zara Altair - Kenneth Manesse Sr. is a master of working on your business, not in it, and systems are the first place to start!
ReplyDeleteStephanie Sims Thanks. I know we have talked about systems several times. :)
ReplyDeleteThe interesting thing about placing the procedures in writing is that you can streamline tasks, if you are honest in your approach. '; )
ReplyDeleteAgree and while I had done a full Manual about 2 years ago as part of a Quality Accreditation, this prompts me to review it, especially as I know I have changed and improved things.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, if you reach a stage where you think no change is needed to the Manual, then both you and your business have gone stale!
Hart GA So true. Once in writing, the tasks become streamlined. Even, the process of writing the process can streamline as you write. :)
ReplyDeleteNeil Butler Spot on! Having them written is a check on how systems evolve. Keeping the written systems up-to-date works not only to reflect the change but to record the way the process works integrally in the business.
ReplyDeleteMark Vang Asana is a very useful tool. For example, the written system would record the actual processes as listed on Asana. Asana is a great tool for handing over a series of tasks to another individual.
ReplyDeleteFor R&D the procedures will be different.
