Episode Transcript:

OWEN: My guest today is Jennifer Reitmeyer and she is the president of MyDeejay. Jennifer, welcome to the show.

JENNIFER: Thank you so much, glad to be here.

OWEN: This interview is all about getting entrepreneurs to come in here to talk about how they’ve been systematized their business so it runs successfully without them. Before we get started I want to show the listeners what are some mind-blowing results that you now experience as a result of going through that process of systematizing and even automating your business?

JENNIFER: I think by far the most mind-blowing and significant result that I’ve had is just the sense if freedom that I’ve got from being able to systematize my business. It’s really freed me to pursue other business ventures, personal projects, passion projects, things I wouldn’t have had time to do if I was still having to do everything within my business by myself without systems. So that’s definitely been the biggest change.

OWEN: You also mentioned something about your upswing in revenue. Talk about that.

JENNIFER: Definitely. By the time when we really started to implement systems within our business we actually noticed a revenue jump that close to doubled. I think a big part of that was that not only did it empower the people that worked for me to be able to do their jobs more efficiently and get more done, but it also freed me up to rally be kind of a leader of our company without having to be so much at the trenches so to speak. It enabled me to really focus on strategic leadership for our business and expanding our reach at being able to think in a bigger picture because all of the little tasks were systematized.

OWEN: Okay. How has your company been transformed as a result of systematizing your business?

JENNIFER: I would say in addition to the revenue jump that I mentioned. It really cost us to think about our business more pragmatically and more strategically. We went from being kind of a fly by seat of your pants kind of a company to really operating with purpose. Being able to put thought into every aspect of our business operations. When we first started out we weren’t really sure exactly how big we were going to get. We’re thinking small. My business partner at the time and I, it was just the two of us. We were thinking on a smaller scale.
