Kate's Take

Wonder what it actually looks like to listen to your audience? This episode is a living breathing example, because everything I talk about is the result of one of our very own Fire Nation faithful reaching out on Twitter and simply asking.

I dive into how the EOFire Team works, our timeline of growth, and I share our biggest tips for entrepreneurs looking to build a team so you can prepare a successful virtual team strategy.

Whether you consider it a routine, a ritual, or simply your daily habits, having something you follow every day is incredibly important.

In fact, knowing what my day looks like - every day - directly contributes to the amount of work I'm able to get done and the focus I'm able to give projects and tasks.

In this episode I share what my daily ritual is and talk about the importance of why I choose certain habits over others.

We've been talking A LOT about systems and processes and efficiencies and delegating... now is a perfect time to share the top tools you can start using right now to save time and crush your to-do list!

In this episode I share the Top 5 Tools I use every single day in our business, and I can say for sure that I wouldn't get half as much done as I do now without them.

In this episode I share how to identify processes that aren't working - and how to fix them.

We spend so much time making sure our systems and processes are set up correctly, but what about the maintenance side of the equation?

Make sure you're not only leveraging your systems and processes to the fullest, but also recognizing when one of them might be broken.

How do you create a system that will remove you from the day-to-day of your business?

In this episode I share 4 steps you can take in order to remove yourself from some of the repetitive, mundane - yet important - tasks in your business, so you instead can focus your energy on other things, like new ideas, improving already existing things in your business, and freeing up time so you can spend it on - whatever you want!

Creating systems and processes in your business isn't always as cut and dry as following 3 simple steps. Sometimes things come up in your business that you haven't prepared for - that you may have never expected to be creating a system or process around.

That was certainly the case for us when it came to setting up a system around following up (and recovering) missed payments for Podcasters' Paradise.

In this episode I walk through how we did it, and how you can approach similar situations in your business.

In this episode I cover from start to finish how we hire team members here at EOFire. I also talk about the on boarding process and how we delegate parts or the whole of a task, project, system or process to our virtual team.

Documenting your systems and processes - much like creating the system or process itself - might seem like a lot of work and time and effort.

That's because it is. It does take work and time and effort to put systems and processes in place - and furthermore, to actually document them.

In this episode I share how to document your systems and processes and why it's so important.

You can't create 10 systems at once, and that's exactly why I recorded this episode. I want to share a few of the most common systems every business should have in order to give you a place to start.

I'm going to go big-picture here; I'm not going to talk about the several processes that might live under each of these systems in detail. But we'll get there - we'll be diving into each of these systems individually in future Kate's Take episodes.

Today, we'll be discussing Marketing and creating a system for Outreach and Networking.
