WHAT PART OF YOUR BUSINESS IS YOUR BUSINESS?
Yesterday, I made a post about my conversation with the community director of the Chicago location of Hera Hub.
Following my post, I then thought about something else that you may find useful. Exactly what has been making me sick in the last 7 weeks.
It is important that I give some background. I resigned from my position as supervised visitation at the domestic violence agency where I was working for a reason: I wanted to mind my business, before commencing a 7 years journey to JD/AM/PHD in few months.
I know the next 3 years especially, will take a lot from me, and I would want to give my best to those degrees, because those are the degrees I have always wanted.
Back to the point. I knew working full time would give me little to no time, to organize ideyforyou the way I wanted.
It took the business of a full time role, and the realization that the reason my business has been suffering is because like many CEOS, whose brands are in the formative stage, I didn't think to automate the business systems.
My idea of minding your business, is creating systems that can run without you.
Some specific tips and examples.
Let's begin with the aspects of business that you should delegate.
Coaching calls: Train your team members or virtual assistants to take coaching calls. You can't take all the calls. Have a script they can use when talking to prospects for your low ticket offers.
This video here are examples of such scripts:
Introduction to a low ticket offer in video:
Benefits of this offer in the video:
General inquiries: You can design a service plan or handbook that answers questions about what you do. Better to have this on a website. Again, a downloadable pdf is a good example. Check out this sample I designed to make my life easier and any team member can simply share it.

Group/ Private coaching. For this to be truly impactful, provide your team members with templates they can use to help your clients track their progress. Ensure there is a system that allows you track this process. Delegate this completely but have someone supervise.
What should you be doing?
Run Ads. One skill you must devote time to learning as a business owner in this era, is how to run ads. People don't know what you can do for them if they don't know you exist. Run the damn ads!
Have templates for everything. You should have all offer letters template, handbooks, job descriptions, content planners, and everything in between that people can use to make working on your team easy.
See this handbook for instance: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kmCbtLD_86HkW1N0TutAJvSQfopFqNYp/view?usp=sharing
Create Content. Yes, you must keep creating meaningful content. Both text and video-based content. Those skills- speaking and writing, you must continue to nurture.
But it is sad that you create the videos, and have to edit them yourself.
No, pay someone to take care of that. We work with creatives from across the world, and we can take these aspects of your business off your plate.
Write books. When you signed up to become a CEO, you didn't sign up to get busy doing the wrong things. Writing books makes you an authority, and this can become a digital product that sells your brand. You do this once, and you rest forever!
Create courses. Your courses can be based on the book or books you have written. This is another digital product and will give you flexibility.
Find Partners/Investors. One of the things I focus my energy on daily, is editing the partnership template I have prepared and sent to potential partners. See a sample here:
