Systems. This is about putting in place reliable structure so that most of your business goes on auto-pilot and you are freed up to do what you do best - your talent, your gift, your magnificence! There is one main area that I see entrepreneurs make a mis-step with their systems and that is day-to-day operations.
Most EnergyPOOR entrepreneurs don't have systems in place when it comes to operations because they believe if they do put these in place they'll be sacrificing freedom and flexibility. Or they complain that they have so much on their plates, so much to do that there just isn't the time to create these systems. Or this one, "I tried that and it didn't work." Or this, "that doesn't work in my business."
All of these "reasons" actually have you operating from the belief that you'll be restricted when the opposite is true. The belief is that without systems there is room to be creative, but the truth is without systems there is chaos. And chaos leads to loss of time, loss of energy and lots of room for gremlins to creep in.
Your inner gremlins are the dastardly negative voices in your head - lower level energy in action. The irony is that not having systems in place ALLOWS you to spend lots of time feeding these gremlins. Lots of energy is used to activate these lower energies, believe these lower energies, create proof that these lower energies are "right" and when you've gone this low no amount of reasoning, logic or support is going to steer you straight about who you really are and the magnificence you are capable of creating in your business - no matter what.
You feel lonely, out of control, full of doubt and you easily slide into the trap. Suddenly, you find that your fears about money keep you from sleeping at night. Your concentration becomes impaired, you begin to make mistakes during the day. Within nine months you are out of business.
Not really fun or free, huh?
I hear this question all of the time, "Heather, how are you able to create so much, so quickly and still have the time to travel and everything else you do." Answer = you set up systems to create TRUE freedom and you start with your day-to-day operations.
Now, many entrepreneurs actually spend most of their energy in this area, but don't necessarily have it systematized. This covers everything from arriving at the office (home or otherwise) to the filling of the water cooler to the actual nitty-gritty happenings of the service that you offer.
Let's look at systems that are CRUCIAL and must be in place for the operating of your EnergyRICH® Business:
· Bookkeeping - what system do you have in place to track all money coming in and all money going out? It's crucial that this is kept separate from your personal expenses. Energetically it declares the importance of the business. Practically it keeps you very honest and therefore your mind clear.
· Scheduling - what system do you have in place to smoothly and easily set up appointments with prospects, clients, assistants, vendors and strategic partners? It's crucial that this can happen as smoothly as possible, every time.
· Rescheduling - what system do you have in place to promptly address missed/rescheduled appointments? It's crucial that you are not bending your schedule for whenever someone else needs to make a change.
You see, the keys to business success are usually so simple, you doubt they will work. And if you have trouble getting things done, created or paid for your purpose, chances are you work waaaaay too hard and make things way to complicated. Set up systems so you are free to do the things that make you money FIRST - and manage your gremlins in the process.
Your EnergyRICH® Call To Action:
1. List (and I mean list) what you DO every day in your business from the moment you "leave for work" to the moment you "get home from work":
·
·
·
·
·
·
2. How could you activate the energy of productivity in how you move through your day? Is there something that can be combined with another task? Moved over to one day a week? Is there something that can be duplicated? Recorded? Is there something that can be delegated to someone else?
3. When a gremlin voice appears - you know the one -it says, "Oh, who do you think you are?" or "You'll never succeed at that!"- just take a deep breath and tell this voice something like, "Thank you for sharing. I'm re-employing you to protect me against all enemies foreign and domestic. I trust you'll do a fine job. In the meantime, I have some my productive and profitable purpose to attend to!" If you *doubt* it will work, I invite you to try it for one week and see how you feel when the week is up.
