Systemize Your Success

In this episode, Dr. Steve Day looks at why many of us overwork ourselves instead of hiring people to help us. Something that frees up time to focus on doing the things that will grow our businesses fast. As well as provide enough spare time to relax and enjoy life.

He explains where to hire capable people and pay what they will feel is a good wage without having to spend a fortune to do so. The advice in this episode is designed to enable you to hire someone right now. Allowing you to refocus your efforts immediately and focus on the things that will make the biggest positive difference to your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most people believe that they cannot afford to hire an assistant. In reality, virtually everyone can actually find the cash to hire help.
• If you are smart about who you hire you need not commit to paying out a lot of money.
• Hiring freelancers means you do not have to pay NI, sick pay, or buy their equipment.
• With a freelance arrangement, should the work dry up, you will not be left having to pay wages regardless.
• Freelancers who live in India, the Philippines, and some other countries are more than happy to work for a relatively low hourly rate.
• Many entrepreneurs believe that they cannot spare the time to hire and train an assistant.
• It need only take you a few hours to find workers and get them started.
• There is no excuse to put off hiring an assistant for another day. Steve explains how to get it done today.
• If you free up just 10 minutes of your time per day, that adds up to over 40 extra hours you have each year.
• As a business owner, you should not be doing any of the low or no value tasks.
• When you free yourself from doing mundane tasks the profitability of your business soars, which easily covers the cost of paying the people you hire.
• All the time you are stuck doing simple tasks in your business you are missing out on opportunities. Which is costing you money.

BEST MOMENTS

‘By hiring an assistant, you not only create more time you actually create more profits as well. ´

‘Setting yourself up to be able to outsource your work only takes a few hours to do.’

‘If you are earning £15 an hour, it makes sense to hire someone for £4 an hour to do low-value tasks for you.’

In this episode, Dr. Steve Day starts by briefly explaining why 90% of businesses fail. This despite their owners spending years working so hard that they do not have time for family. Steve explains why so many people do that and how you can avoid doing the same by using the power of outsourcing.

He shares his Four S´s Standard, which anyone can use to identify the tasks that can be outsourced and hire the right person to do them. This episode also helps you to understand why delegating does not come naturally to most people and how to overcome this negative behaviour pattern.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most business owners work far too hard, and never get time to enjoy the fruits of their hard work.
• Trusting someone to do the work for you is the only way to free up your time.
• Don´t let fear stop you from trusting someone to do a task for you without your involvement.
• Fear of loss of status stops people from trusting others to do their work. Steve explains the connection in the podcast.
• Identify the things that only you can do and spend your time on that, delegate the other tasks.
• Start by outsourcing those simple tasks that take up the most of your time.
• Initially, don´t outsource mission-critical stuff.
• New recruits need support, but you get back that time once they start working autonomously.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The act of actually getting somebody else to do your work for you…That is the one challenge to overcome, then the rest falls into place. ´

‘The chance of failure is far, far higher if you are trying to do everything alone.’

‘I worked in the business far too much, I never put my head up to see where the opportunities were.’

‘To work out what to outsource start by jotting down everything you do every single day.’
