Many people assume that starting a business will require them to hustle relentlessly for 3-5 years, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Through operationalization, leaders can delegate and continue to grow without sacrificing quality or increasing their stress levels. In this episode, we walk through the 4 foundational things you need to have in place in order to start operationalizing, as well as the four-step process for operationalization. 


  • Operationalizing helps impact-driven leaders grow without burning out (0:47)
  • What are the highest return responsibilities of a leader? (6:17)
  • How do you simultaneously increase productivity and humanity? (7:04)
  • There are 4 prerequisites you need to have before you start operationalizing (11:01)
  • 1. An aspirational mission (11:31)
  • 2. Immoveable core values (13:27)
  • 3. A compelling, documented vision (14:02)
  • 4. A predictable revenue model (15:25)
  • Stress will increase at the rate your business grows, unless you operationalize (18:20)
  • Operationalizing helps you delegate, practice healthy growth, and make a sustainable impact (19:29)
  • Operationalized processes are measurable, accessible, repeatable, and iterable (22:13)
  • There are four key elements of operationalizing (23:14)
  • 1. Standardize: Clarify what success looks like (25:18) 
  • 2. Document: Outline benchmarks for success and the process to achieve them (30:19)
