Mastering the Magic of Standard Operating Procedures for Business Success

Welcome back to another episode of the potty report. So one thing we talked about yesterday about getting more organized and archiving old stuff and getting my project management life together, but the other thing that I wanna talk about is documenting all of my SOPs, so standard operating procedures. Think of these as like the how-to guides for everything that I do in my business. Now, this has a varying level of importance of how in depth they are, of how long it's taking versus you know that took two seconds and the way that I'm doing this, because if you've never done this before, I actually am very grateful. So I know I've said this before, but I'm part of Amy Porterfield's momentum community and one of the benefits that you get when you join momentum is you get a monthly template. So this could be an Excel spreadsheet, it could be a Google doc, it could be I mean, just multiple different things. It could be a Canva template. You know it's just. It ranges on what it is every month. But one of the things that they did is they gave a template for SOPs and it's very simple, very effective, which is exactly like right at my alley. It's exactly what I needed to start documenting things and it's one of the things that I've done for a long time, because I look at SOPs for content specifically like checklist. Right, you have your checklist, you do this, then you do this, then you do that, then you do this, and then you're done, right, like it's step one, step two, step three, step four, and then you're done. And so why am I doing this? Right, you're like, well, crystal, why is that important? Like, should I be doing this? What should that look like? And one the reason why I'm doing it is I kind of forced myself to do it because it's one of the bonuses for Time Genius.

So I told you earlier this week that Marie Forleo has her Time Genius program. It is open and the fast action bonus is actually expiring tonight. If you're listening to this in real time, it expires tonight at midnight Pacific time. So do not wait, because if you wanna get those book bundles that I talked about earlier this week, let me read them to you real fast, because maybe you're like what are the books? So it's the One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papazone. I talk about this book all the time Essentialism by Greg McEwen, stolen Focus by Johann Hari, atomic Habits by James Clear, and I am gifting you the Clear Fox Undated 12 Month Planner. Now, this is the planner that I use to get all of my shiitake done, and so don't miss out on this. Like, I'm gonna order all these books off of Amazon and have them shipped to you. Yes, they are actual books, like the hard copy books. It's $124 value and I'm shipping all of these to you if you join Time Genius by two night, like midnight tonight, and then this is gone.

But, going back to SOPs, I was holding myself accountable because one of the bonuses I created for Time Genius anybody that joins with my link is I'm giving you all of my content production templates from Asana, so your VA or your future podcast manager or for yourself, like you can use all of these. You can export them and use them in a project management tool of your choice, so you don't have to use it in Asana. You could put it in a Trello or Notion or Monday or whatever tool that you're using. But I wanted to also give you my SOPs. So you're gonna have the Asana project templates. Then you're also gonna have your SOPs for you to use as templates to create your own version. So you don't have to use my version, but I'm gonna show you exactly what I do all of the checklist so that you can put them and put your own spin on it and make it your own.

So that's another reason why I was documenting everything. I was like I have to have all this done, because I wanted it to be something that you could use, because it is so valuable, so valuable to have all this done. So you know exactly what you need to do, when to do it and what order, and in the future you can delegate it to someone else. You can say, hey, these are my exact processes, this is everything you need to do. So go to crystalprofitcom forward slash time to register for Time Genius and you're gonna see all the bonuses included. I didn't even get to talk about the how I batched my content masterclass, but go check it out. Crystalprofitcom forward slash time and if you need help with productivity and time management, this is the program for you. But that's all I have for you today. So, as always, remember, keep it fresh, keep it fun and just keep going.
