When starting your business, often, you still need to get systems and processes in place, and everything is in your head. But if your long-term goal is to grow your business, then creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) would serve you well. First, it is easier to replicate your original products and services if you have SOPs in place, saving you time and training costs as you grow your team. Second, SOPs also protect the quality of your output. Finally, after building your SOPs, you can turn them into your proprietary blueprint or playbook, which will be a strong foundation for your growth plans. So how do you start building SOPs?

In this episode, Tom speaks with Adam Lyons, a serial entrepreneur who runs 16 businesses and provides business coaching to CEOs of top companies. Adam has developed The SMART Blueprint, a proven framework for business owners who want to scale their businesses. He also hosts a podcast called SMART Businesses Do This. So tune in and learn from someone who has done it over the years. 

“I've realized that laziness is a superpower. My laziness makes me efficient because I will not waste energy. I'm just now a hyper-productive lazy person.” (9:35)

People tend to perform a Google search first when searching and comparing products and services. So how do you make sure people can find you and your business? Your Google Business Profile shows people where and how to find you. Your business profile allows you to reach and connect with more people, list your products and services, and more. To explain more about the benefits of setting up your Google Business Profile and SEO, Tom interviews Sherry Bonelli. 

Sherry is a Google Business Profile Platinum Product Expert, a nationally recognized local SEO expert, and digital marketing professional. She entered the digital marketing world in 1998 when she launched her first e-commerce business selling pregnancy and baby products. Her e-commerce site was selected as one of the top 10 websites by a leading pregnancy magazine, and she appeared on the TODAY Show, CNN, ABC News, and other media outlets. Sherry is passionate about helping her clients grow their businesses through integrated digital marketing strategies.

“Just know that Google now is not really looking at keywords. They're really looking at more topics. They don't want you to write content for keywords anymore. They want you to write content for the user.” (14:19)
