The Systems Social Hour

Gianni Fitts Bellamy

The Systems Social Hour was born from my passion for both systems and genuine connection. Each episode feels like grabbing coffee with a fellow business enthusiast, sharing real talk about workflows, work-life balance, and those "aha" moments that change everything. I believe in the power of casual conversation to uncover genius solutions – sometimes the best systems insights come from simply chatting with other professionals who've been there.

    The VA Advantage with Jade Smith

    In this episode, Gianni welcomes Jade Smith, owner of Mrs. Smith Assist, who shares valuable insights on hiring and working with virtual assistants. With over 20 years of combined experience in project management and executive assistant support, Jade provides practical advice for both business owners considering their first hire and VAs looking to grow their careers. Jade discusses the importance of not waiting until you're drowning in work before seeking help, and encourages business owners to view hiring a team as an investment rather than just an expense. She explains how to identify tasks that are prime for delegation—those that are routine, time-consuming, or require expertise you don't have—and emphasizes the value of finding someone with the right personality traits over just technical skills. The conversation covers setting clear expectations through proper agreements, building trust gradually, and implementing effective project management systems to facilitate collaboration. Jade recommends tools like Asana, Trello, and ClickUp, but suggests that business owners collaborate with their VAs to find the right fit for their specific needs. Jade highlights the importance of communication, boundaries, and mutual respect in the business owner-VA relationship. She offers guidance on onboarding practices, managing workflow, and ensuring both parties feel supported in the partnership. Whether you're a business owner considering your first hire or a VA looking to improve client relationships, this episode provides practical strategies for creating successful, productive partnerships. ✨ Website - https://mrssmithassist.com/ ✨ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrssmithassist/# ✨ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mrssmithassist Additional Links from Jade: ✨ What a VA Can Do For You - https://mrssmithassist.com/what-a-va-can-do-for-you-freebie/ ✨ How to Find a Good VA - https://mrssmithassist.com/how-to-find-a-good-va/ ✨ Book a Strategy Session with Jade - use coupon code CEOWORK for 15% off - https://client.mrssmithassist.com/public/appointment-scheduler/6000a1e9af321c53fdac1729/schedule

    Uncovering Pain Points with guest Ashley Tindall

    In this episode, Gianni welcomes Ashley Tindall, a chief systems officer who specializes in simplifying complex business problems. With over a decade of experience in project management and business analysis, Ashley shares her expertise on creating low-stress, supportive systems that work for both business owners and their clients. Ashley discusses how to identify stress points in your business processes (focusing on tasks that consume too much time or those you consistently avoid), and explains why there's no such thing as an "all-in-one" tool—despite what marketing might claim. She emphasizes the importance of building systems that support your unique workflow rather than forcing yourself to adapt to rigid tools or copying someone else's process. The conversation covers practical advice for DIY system builders, including when to introduce multiple platforms, how to know when you've outgrown your current systems, and the value of testing processes with real clients before automating them. Ashley also shares insights on creating a seamless client experience while maintaining your own sanity, the importance of team communication when evaluating systems, and how even small daily rituals like enjoying morning coffee can be essential components of a successful business system. Whether you're building, growing, or scaling your business, this episode offers valuable guidance on creating systems that truly work for you and your clients. ✨ Website - https://solutionintegrators.us/ ✨ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solution.integrators/?hl=en ✨ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@solutionintegrators/videos
