This alleviates the burden on the business owner and empowers employees to take initiative. 💡 Structured Communication: Implementing a structured meeting framework, such as daily stand-ups, weekly one-on-ones, and project meetings, helps maintain clear communication and accountability within the team.

    SYS 195: How We Improve Remote Team Loyalty with Health Insurance Incentives

    🎙 In this episode of the Systemize Your Success podcast, Dr. Steve Day shares insights on effectively supporting remote contractors. He focuses on incentivising them through health care and health insurance benefits. Initially, Steve was sceptical about the longevity of remote workers in his company. However, his perspective has evolved as he has built a dedicated team that plays a crucial role in his business.   He discusses the importance of offering contractors an annual allowance for health insurance. He highlights resources like mariahealth.ph to help them find suitable options. Additionally, he mentions the benefits of PhilHealth in the Philippines. Steve emphasises the significance of fostering long-term relationships with contractors. This approach enhances business efficiency.   Tune in for practical tips on creating a supportive work environment that encourages contractors to stay engaged and committed. KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡 Shift in Mindset: Initially, people believed that remote workers would not stay long-term. Over time, however, the importance of these contractors has been recognised. This recognition has led to a more committed approach to their roles. 💡 Incentivizing Long-Term Commitment: Offering benefits such as health care allowances can effectively encourage contractors to stay with the business. This approach helps build loyalty and reduces turnover. 💡 Health Care Options: Providing contractors with an annual allowance to purchase their own health insurance is a practical way to support their well-being. Resources like mariahealth.ph can help them find suitable options based on their circumstances. 💡 PhilHealth as an Additional Benefit: Offering PhilHealth is not legally required for foreign employers. However, it can be a valuable addition to the benefits package. PhilHealth provides reduced costs for medical services and hospitalisations. 💡 Legal Considerations: When working with contractors, it's crucial to navigate employment laws carefully to avoid misclassification as employees. Consulting with legal experts, such as those from Coffee Clatch, can help ensure compliance. BEST MOMENTS 01:59 - 💬 “They are how we function. They do everything. They are way, way more than, in inverted commas, the virtual assistant that people often think about.” 04:03 - 💬 “Keeping people around, not having to go through the whole hiring process, the cost and the time, not having to do a trial and error of finding someone good.” 07:59 - 💬 “I just wanted to emphasise- A, that we can offer some great incentives for people to keep coming back and working for us for the long term.” TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW 00:00 How to retain knowledgeable, efficient, and reliable employees. 04:00 Offer allowance for health insurance, ensuring retention. 08:19 Be mindful; consider legal advice for contractors.     VALUABLE RESOURCES KoffeeKlatch Legal Services:    KoffeeKlatch provides small business owners with expert legal advice, HR contracts, data protection, and GDPR support.  Having the right agreement, terms of engagement and data-protection contract with your VA can protect your business and clients.     We’ve teamed up with them to give you a 10% discount on your first order- please visit the EPISODE PAGE on our blog to get the coupon code.      LINKS TO CONNECT WITH THE HOST Website: https://www.systemizeyoursuccess.com Facebook Group: https://facebook.com/groups/systemsandoutsourcing/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/systemsandoutsourcing/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/systems_and_outsourcing/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@drsteveday42     ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business, but moving to Sweden in 2015 forced him to change how he worked.

This shift allows business owners to scale their operations and achieve a more balanced lifestyle. 💡 Importance of Systems: Implementing systems, such as task management apps (e.g., Asana, Trello), is essential for effective delegation and communication. These tools provide visibility into tasks, streamline workflows, and reduce miscommunication. 💡 Utilizing Video for Communication: Using video for meetings and task instructions enhances communication and builds rapport. It allows for clearer explanations and reduces the chances of misunderstandings that can occur with text-based communication. 💡 Outsourcing Wisely: Start outsourcing tasks that you are already familiar with, and that are not overly complex. This approach minimises frustration and helps build trust in the delegation process, making handing off more responsibilities over time easier. 💡 Global Workforce Opportunities: Embracing remote work opens up access to a global talent pool, allowing businesses to find skilled individuals at various price points.

    SYS 193: Stay Competitive: Why Business Transformation Requires Automation and AI - Interview with Ricardo Silva, Founder of Engibots

    🎙 In this episode of the Systemize Your Success podcast, Dr Steve Day engages in an insightful conversation with Ricardo Silva, founder of Engibots, about the transformative power of technology, automation, and AI for small business owners.   They explore the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) concept and how it enables businesses to automate repetitive tasks, allowing teams to focus on more human-centric work. Additionally, Ricardo shares his expertise in leveraging modern technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and ultimately increase profits.   The discussion also highlights the importance of fostering an automation mindset within teams and the role of AI in augmenting human capabilities. KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡 Understanding Robotic Process Automation (RPA): RPA allows businesses to automate repetitive tasks by mimicking human interactions with digital systems, making it easier for small business owners to streamline operations without extensive programming knowledge. 💡 AI Integration: Combining AI with RPA enhances automation capabilities by allowing systems to handle exceptions and unstructured data. This makes processes more efficient and adaptable to changes, which is crucial for modern businesses. 💡 Cultural Shift in Business: There is a growing need for businesses to adopt an automation mindset, where employees focus on qualitative work rather than just quantitative tasks. This shift is essential for staying competitive in an evolving market. 💡 Empowering Teams: Business owners should encourage their teams to embrace automation and AI technologies, giving them the time and resources to learn and adapt. This not only enhances productivity but also increases employee value and job satisfaction. 💡 Strategic Implementation: Successful automation requires a well-defined strategy that considers people, processes, and technology. Businesses should focus on standardising processes before implementing automation to ensure a smoother transition and better return on investment. BEST MOMENTS 11:43 - 💬 “Most of the time, I say AI changes everything for process automation, okay? And created some, make it very easy nowadays to leverage some use cases that until now by having rule-based robots are very difficult to implement to the companies or very expensive.” - Ricardo Silva 18:02 - 💬 “The businesses that don't embrace these sorts of technologies, they're just going to get left behind because, for a lot less cost going forward, businesses that are fully leaning into automation and AI are just going to get a lot more done a lot more quickly.” - Steve Day 22:26 - 💬 “People have to have a different mindset in terms of the work they do for the companies and the value that they bring for the companies. They should not think in terms of work as quantitative work, but qualitative work.” - Ricardo Silva 37:14 - 💬 “Success for me nowadays, it's having the freedom to implement my ideas in terms of automation, in terms of technology, having a team that is excited with these ideas and contribute to these ideas.” - Ricardo Silva TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW 00:00 RPA: Technology enabling human-like interaction with systems. 05:26 RPA programming streamlines human interface interaction. 07:35 Exciting potential of automated tasks and AI. 12:44 Automating with AI simplifies coping with exceptions. 14:41 Technology augments human capacity and work reevaluation. 17:41 Small businesses need to adopt automation and AI. 23:44 AI brings uncertainty and empowers businesses to change. 25:10 Redefining work value with AI and evidence. 30:34 Developing strategies for team involvement in automation. 32:12 Helping businesses systemise processes for growth and efficiency. 37:09 Success means freedom to create family time.

    SYS 192: My Journey to Building a Content Machine: Mindset, Mistakes, AI and Virtual Assistants

    🎙 In this episode of the Systemize Your Success podcast, Dr. Steve Day shares his journey in building a successful podcast promotion and production pipeline. He emphasises the importance of delegation and content creation systems. Steve reflects on his early days managing social media, where he struggled with consistency and confidence. Over time, he gradually evolved to create content on autopilot with the help of virtual assistants.   Steve discusses the significance of finding your voice and medium and leveraging tools like ChatGPT for content ideas. He also highlights the benefits of systemising content creation from the very beginning.   Additionally, He encourages entrepreneurs to overcome their fears and focus on simplicity. This will allow them to grow their social media presence without overwhelming their schedules. Tune in for valuable insights on scaling your business and maximising your time! KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡 Start Simple and Focused: When beginning with social media, it's beneficial to concentrate on one platform to build your skills and audience. This approach allows for more effective content creation and engagement without spreading yourself too thin. 💡 Embrace Imperfection: Accept that early content may not be perfect. The content creation journey involves trial and error, and getting comfortable with sharing your voice will lead to improvement over time. 💡 Leverage Automation and Assistance: As your content production grows, consider hiring virtual assistants or using automation tools to handle repetitive tasks. This delegation allows you to focus on creating quality content and developing your business further. 💡 Utilise AI for Content Ideas: ChatGPT can help generate content ideas and draft posts or blog entries. This can alleviate the pressure of coming up with topics and help overcome writer's block. 💡 Plan Ahead for Consistency: Establish a content calendar and aim to work several weeks in advance. This proactive approach ensures that you maintain a consistent output, even during busy periods or holidays, and helps manage your content production pipeline effectively. BEST MOMENTS 06:04 - 💬 “What allowed me to get more consistent, to become better at putting posts out there that got engagement, that didn't take me hours and hours to create, was actually just doing it.” 09:14 - 💬 “When you get started, it's so easy for me to say, just go and do it, but just go and do it.” 19:49 - 💬 “You should start systemising your content creation as soon as you start creating content. Because there is so much that we don't need to do as content creators. If you can start getting into the habit of involving other people in the production and the promotion of your content as early as possible, it allows you to have more time to A- create better content and B- think about what else you should and could be doing.” 23:54 - 💬 “The biggest hurdle is getting out of your own way, overcoming your own fears of looking stupid or looking silly in front of your friends and family who's going to read your posts.” TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW 00:00 Coaching client conversation on social media systems. 04:27 Delayed use of YouTube, focused on Facebook. 09:43 GPT chat generates property investment topics instantly. 10:56 Writer can adopt varied content mediums creatively. 14:46 AI helps with writing, evolving content gradually. 19:33 Start systemising content creation as soon as possible. 21:24 Consistency is key for successful podcasting. 24:11 Regular content creation boosts professionalism and systems.

    SYS 191: How We Empower Our Team to Transform Mistakes into Systems

He emphasises the importance of creating a culture of continuous improvement in business and open communication within a team. He also highlights how mistakes can be transformed into opportunities for growth.   Steve discusses the root cause analysis process and the significance of having a well-documented Operations Manual. He also introduces the DIDACT framework for task documentation. He illustrates how businesses can implement effective systems by fostering an environment where team members feel empowered to admit errors. This is to prevent future mistakes and enhance overall efficiency.   Tune in to discover practical strategies for optimising your business processes and cultivating a proactive mindset among your staff. KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡 Empowerment Through Mistakes: It is crucial to create a culture where staff feel empowered to admit mistakes. This approach fosters an environment of continuous improvement rather than fear of repercussions. 💡 Importance of Documentation: A well-documented Operations Manual is essential. It provides clear instructions and resources, reducing the likelihood of errors. It also ensures tasks can be completed correctly without constant supervision. 💡 Root Cause Analysis: When mistakes occur, it's vital to conduct a root cause analysis to identify what went wrong in the system. This helps understand the underlying issues and implement changes to prevent future occurrences. 💡 Implementing Checks and Balances: Incorporating checks into processes, such as verifying document versions before sending, can significantly reduce errors. This proactive approach ensures that staff have clear guidelines to follow. 💡 Continuous Improvement Process: Establishing a system for ongoing improvements is necessary. Encouraging team members to document any gaps or questions they encounter during tasks allows for real-time updates to processes, enhancing overall efficiency. BEST MOMENTS 02:40 - 💬 “What happened in this particular case was we have an online document signing service... and this happens with all the new clients that come in.” 09:57 - 💬 “It's such an important part of systemisation. It is being able to document tasks quickly, effectively and efficiently, to be able to get stuff out of people's heads and down in a way that other people can do it from start to finish without their involvement first time and every time.” 11:13 - 💬 “The second part is showing the person and reminding the team that there is a process for making changes when things happen.” 13:57 - 💬 “We've got to action the admission of a mistake in a positive way and a meaningful way and a way that's going to make future behaviour better because that empowers people to own up to any mistakes they make in the future.” TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW 00:00 Managing mistakes is crucial for staff confidence & improvement. 04:18 Proud of instance, it is important to have manuals. 09:53 Effectively documenting tasks for efficient delegation. 11:22 Document and improve processes when questions arise.

He explains the importance of systemising business operations to achieve freedom for business owners.   Steve discusses the challenges he faced and the strategies he used to prepare for his time off. He highlights the key factors that allowed him to relax and enjoy his holiday without worrying about his business.   Additionally, Steve emphasises the importance of having the right clients, documenting core business activities, and building a cash reserve. He also talks about establishing clear communication channels for emergencies.   Through his journey, Steve highlights the benefits of systemisation, enabling entrepreneurs to step away while maintaining business continuity. KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡 Focus on building systems. Documenting core business activities is crucial for allowing others to manage tasks in your absence. 💡 Choose the right clients. Working with clients who respect your boundaries and understand the need for time off is essential for a healthy work-life balance. 💡 Plan ahead. Communicate with your team and clients about your time off, block calendars, and ensure everything is documented well in advance. 💡 Establish clear communication channels. Set up specific emergency channels to avoid getting dragged back into work during your time off. 💡 Build a cash reserve. Setting aside profits to build a cash reserve can provide financial security during periods of reduced sales activity. BEST MOMENTS 00:25 - 💬 “The wins are often the opposite almost. What they've managed to achieve outside of work is that they've found freedom through systemising what they do, employing great people, and creating a lifestyle through being purposeful about their work.” 05:59 - 💬 “It's okay if I have a lay-in. I can feel groggy in the mornings, and I can just hang out with the kids and do nothing. I don't need to be doing stuff.” 08:11 - 💬 “This is why I started my business rather than working in the hospital, why I quit my job as a doctor. To be able to choose when I genuinely take time off, to be able to live wherever I want and to be able to then be present for my family in these informative years where my kids are growing up.” 20:17 - 💬 “Planning ahead, in summary, planning ahead. So communicating with your team about what's expected while you're away, making sure it's clear what meetings are going to happen and which meetings aren't going to happen.” TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW 00:00 Entrepreneur reflects on taking time off work. 07:00 Engaging transition led to a fulfilling summer. 08:54 Planning meetings, supporting staff, and managing change effectively. 12:45 Meticulously documenting processes streamlines workflow and aids delegation. 15:45 Self-sufficiency and financial preparedness bring peace. 20:55 Documentation and support systems bring stress relief. 22:13 Achieved work freedom, now enjoys stress-free vacation.
