Episode Transcript:

OWEN: My guest today is Steven Essa and he’s the founder of X10 Effect. Steven, welcome to the show.

STEVEN: Great to be here Owen, thanks for having me on.

OWEN: Our main focus is to go out there and look for entrepreneurs who have been able to systematize their business so that it runs successfully without them. And we want to showcase how you’ve been able to do that. Before we even talk about step by step when you actually did to make that happen in your business what are some mind blowing results that you now experience as a result of going through that process of systematizing your business?

STEVEN: Absolutely Owen, in our business we do webinar. Whenever we now market a webinar, promoting a new product or service, or even an event that we’re running, all we do is send the information to our system and it’s all set-up for us. All we do is turn up and talk.
