When building a business or starting a new entrepreneurial pursuit, we tend to handle many of the day-to-day tasks ourselves. And though working this way is fine for a while, at some point you need to turn that chaos into an orderly system. In this episode of the Working Without Pants podcast, I explore the importance of building systems and why they are needed in order to scale your business in an organized and predictable way. If you're new to building systems within your business, it can seem daunting. The key to remember, though, is that you don't have to be an expert at building systems - you simply need to understand them enough to be able to eventually hire a master to optimize your basic frameworks. If a system has decent bones, a specialist will be able to come in and take that system to the next level of efficiency. I always recommend starting your system-building efforts by focusing on lower-value work that you want off your plate and then moving on to higher-level work.
