The Importance of Having Systems for Entrepreneurs
Creating systems for entrepreneurship is very important. It is your roadmap towards your goals, and ultimately, to your product's success.
For me, a system is any set of activities that have a measurable outcome.
If you want to succeed as an entrepreneur, you must build everyday systems that will suit you most.
But before even building your own system, ask yourself: what are your goals?
Having a crystal clear vision and mission of your entrepreneurship journey will significantly guide you by creating the best solid systems specifically for your venture because you will absolutely know what your product needs to grow.
There are many great business systems out there, but that doesn't mean that they will also work for you. Don't just copy a system that you like. Instead, tailor it according to your needs and only use them as examples.
Great advice
Thank you!
I completely agree 100%!
I wonder, does anyone know if there any services for entrepreneurs where you can start your business stel for step basically? I mean some steps are the same for every thing!
If not I’ll make one, or with one of you guys.
I know there are business coaches as a service. Otherwise, lots of information can be found in books, blog posts, forums.
yeah, I ment something like this or so: https://www.cuttles.io but obviously that already exists xd
The trick isn’t falling in love, it’s staying in love.
Love what you are building. Love your mission.
1000% 🙃
We have done this since day one. First validate the process, flow or policy. Second build a light weight implementation so it works. Add to that over time as time/money affords.
Some say we over coded. But we avoided operating expense of employee, and third party monthly fees.
We have built our own custom waterfall marketing stack.
We have built a auto leads generator.
We have built our own analytics that matches our KPI needs.
We have built admin dashboards for system management
We have built our own blog engine using AWS s3
We have built free tools to spread viral use
We have built our own revenue monitor by segement
We have built our own product on boarding
We have built our own custom messaging system for user engagement
We have built our own code monitoring management, reporting software bugs to freshdesk tickets
We have built our own referral system
We have built our own affiliate system
We have built a events capturing system to monitor user onboarding success
What mostly motivated us, is running a business without employees.
Building systems is such an important part of building a business. Examples of systems I built to prevent bad decision making:
When I try a new marketing channel for a business, I create experiments in it for 3 months. I have a detailed set of tests for each channel to understand their RoI. I've seen many people doing one or two tests and then give up when they don't see results in few days or weeks. But sometimes it's not the channel's fault- maybe our timing or message is not right. So going through a system is extremely important.
My second system is around VAs. When I hire a virtual assistant, I create a 7-day plan telling them exactly what they should be doing by the end of the 7 days (scheduling meetings, follow-ups etc — it’s all documented). If they’re doing it, great. If not, we’re not a good fit.
