This episode’s guest, David Jenyns is a strong advocate for the importance of systemizing businesses to grow and scale.

David is an experienced entrepreneur who sold the Melbourne Cricket Ground in his early twenties and founded Melbourne SEO Services. He systemized himself out of that business in 2016 and founded SYSTEMology to help business owners implement systems to scale their business. Today, he supports a growing community of certified SYSTEMologists, delivers workshops, keynote addresses, hosts a podcast, and is on a mission to free business owners worldwide from daily operations.

He shares the benefits of systemization, such as increased efficiency and reduced stress. He offers suggestions on how to organize and document processes for better ease in delegation of tasks.

David emphasizes the need to delegate responsibility and free up higher skilled team members to work on tasks they are best suited for. This approach can result in not only higher efficiency, but also a more streamlined and profitable business. Business owners who prioritize systemizing their business can enjoy these benefits and more.

Anyone can build a systems-driven business with the right team members in place. Business owners do not have to be the ones to do the documentation themselves, but rather they can work with a systems champion on their team to help develop and implement the necessary processes.

Opportunities arise all the time, but many business owners are too busy to recognize them. By documenting and implementing systemized processes, business owners can better identify opportunities and have the bandwidth to take advantage of them.

Systemization can also lead to a more organized and less chaotic workspace, where employees can thrive and work more effectively.

Entrepreneur and sales expert Susan Trumpler shares insights into the world of sales and entrepreneurship.

These are the highlights from the conversation with Susan.

Susan stresses the importance of having a realistic exit strategy when thinking of leaving a corporate job and starting a business. A good sales process is also essential when starting a business to increase the chances of success.

She warns against falling for get-rich-quick schemes that promise overnight success. She advises that such schemes are often fantastical and prey on one's fears and desires.

Susan shares details about her free masterclass, "Getting to Yes Faster," which teaches the neuroscience behind sales conversations and the three questions necessary to make a buying decision. She explains that to be able to say yes, a buyer must have three questions answered in their mind. The masterclass is based on these three questions and teaches how to answer them to get to yes, faster.

For several years now, expert marketers have been telling us to be doing more video to promote our businesses. We’re going to talk today about short-form videos.

Stopping and taking video doesn't come naturally to me, and thinking about it became not fun. But I've had a change of heart and have a renewed interest in doing more video. I want to share some things through video for fun things happening in my personal life.

Brandy, who’s our lead designer on the Scrivener Solutions team started to coach me on getting over myself and just have fun capturing and sharing moments and I thought our conversation would be perfect to share because I'm sure I'm not alone in not hopping on the video bandwagon and feeling super awkward just stopping what we’re doing and videoing ourselves.

Sharing life’s moments should be fun and not a burdon.

Brandy has built a huge TikTok following. I’m so happy that she shares her expertise and can coach us on how to make fun and engaging videos.

In this episode, we'll be discussing how to overcome the awkwardness of filming yourself, what equipment to use, and tips for recording. We'll also talk about why short-form videos don't have to be just about work and algorithms, but can also be a fun way to share personal experiences.
