<p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode of the <em>Working Without Pants</em> 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. </p> <p> </p> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>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. This will bring you more immediate freedom, allow you to refine your system-building skills, and ultimately help you understand what it will take to systematize higher-level roles or tasks down the line.</p> <p> </p> <p>Want to work with me as an advisor?
