A ‘Task Board Review’ is a monthly meeting Steve has with his staff which allows everybody to get on target and make sure they are focusing on the right task at the right time. Listen to how Steve holds his meetings to see how this could benefit your organization.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Steve has a regular one to one with each of his staff he manages. In this meeting the tasks undertaken are discussed to pinpoint which jobs on their task board need prioritising. 
• Lost or under prioritised tasks can be rescued in this manner and the staff members focus can be standardised with others through Steve’s overview of the whole business. 
• With monthly comprehensive meetings such as the ‘Task Board Review’ the staff can be offered a degree of autonomy with minimum intervention yet still be kept on an even keel, heading in the same direction as the rest of the business. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Doing this is one of the best things I do for the teams productivity, motivation and for getting people to work independently but all heading in the same direction.’ 

‘So these meetings, we call them ‘Task Board Review Meetings’ are really, really essential part of being able to delegate work out and to let people get on with stuff, to have a bit of autonomy, a bit of independence, but not just letting it continue indefinitely so you end up getting resentful..’

‘So now she’s walked away from that meeting feeling calm, feeling ready to actually crack on and knowing exactly what is the highest priority thing for the company that she should be working on.’ 

Organizing your files and folders for easy access is essential for time saving and ease of operation. Steve has some advice on how to not disappear into a cloud of data chaos and increase your productivity by rethinking and modernizing the way you store your files.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Grouping can be cumbersome due to the ambiguity of classing files by specific criteria. Labelling things to make them easy to find by file name has been superseded by advanced search tools like google.
• Think in terms of a role based organisation which involves giving the right access to files and passwords relevant to their work. Department managers will need complete access to files, videos, apps and all data relevant to their role. 
• This results in only a small number of parent folders within your organisation per department with subfolders divided by permitted access depending on sub-roles within said departments. 
• Prefix your files with a standardised department based label. You can then search within files with that department prefix for relevant keywords.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘This is something that I struggled with for many years. I tried loads of different variations of ideas that I read about. Should it be done by department? Should we be doing it by role? How granular should you go? How many different folders should you have?’

‘How do I delegate stuff easily? Ultimately that’s what your business should be about.’

‘Stop trying to organize things for the finding of it and instead think how can I organize it so its easy for me to share. That’s really the big take home from this’

ABOUT THE HOST

Steve used to be a slave to his business but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change the way he worked. He switched to running his businesses remotely and after totally nailing this concept he decided to spend his time helping other small business owners do the same. Steve’s been investing in property since 2002, has a degree in Computing, and worked as a doctor in the NHS before quitting to focus full-time on sharing his systems and outsourcing Methodology with the world. He now lives in Sweden and runs his UK-based businesses remotely with the help of his team of Filipino and UK-based Virtual Assistants.

Most business owners are overwhelmed because they don't know how to create systems or get the right help.

Our systems and outsourcing Courses and coaching programme will help you automate your business and work effectively with affordable virtual assistants. That way, you will stop feeling overwhelmed and start making more money.

🎙 Steve describes a technique where you create a chart of everything you do in your business and find out if your employees want to do it, learn about it, or just simply hate it. This will increase the rapport you have with your team and increase their productivity. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

💡 Create a spreadsheet and list all the activities that go on in your business in one column on the left hand side.

💡 In the next columns place ‘Do You Want It?’ and ‘Do you know it?’ You can detail that further by denoting ‘Do you know it well?’ and ‘Do you want it?’, ’ Are you ok with it?’ or ’Do you hate it?’’

💡 This will make sure you get most out of your existing team by finding out where their skills already are, giving the team an opportunity to express the roles they don’t enjoy fulfilling, showing that you care about them and what makes their role better and increasing your likelihood of retaining well motivated, skilled and happy personnel. 

BEST MOMENTS 

💬 ‘What you want to do is find the activities in our business that our existing team, or our new team as they are coming in, what they actually already know something about or what the areas are they would like to learn about.’

💬 ‘You may find and may be surprised that the person you hired to maybe be an admin person happens to have an interest in graphic design and has spent the last four years in graphic design college.’

💬 ‘Finding new people, training them up, that is a massive drain on resources for any company, and expense both in time and the cost of actually hiring somebody as well.’

Most business owners are overwhelmed because they don't know how to create systems or get the right help.

Our systems and outsourcing Courses and coaching programme will help you automate your business and work effectively with affordable virtual assistants. That way, you will stop feeling overwhelmed and start making more money.

Automation tools, used correctly, can revolutionize parts of your business, streamline your operation, reduce errors and save costs in terms of time and wages. However, used inappropriately or incorrectly they can be a substantial drain on your time and resources. Steve is here to denote correct application of these tools to help you avoid the pitfalls.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Apps such as Zapier or Integromat are web based app that allow two or more different apps to talk to each other. For instance, someone submitting a form into your system could trigger a range of actions in different apps, such as informing a staff member, disseminating the data into your database, sending marketing emails or creating a time slot in your calendar. 
• They do take a long time to set up, however, and need maintenance regularly and are not error free. If you have high frequency repeated tasks in your operation such as repeated purchases or high volume communications they are invaluable.  
• Only look to automate processes and tasks that are already tried and tested. Once something is automated it cannot be improved so any intrinsic error present in the process will be repeated ad infinitum until you intervene.
• Make sure you are not replicating something in an automation tool that can be easily actioned elsewhere. You may spend time setting up an automation that can manually be completed once a month in five minutes. 
• These apps require a fair amount of IT knowledge and skill to get the most out of them, but are accessible immediately to new users. If you want comprehensive usage, you will need to be, or source someone tech savvy. Bear in mind, with complicated automations, your specialist staff member could leave the company and you have no information on how the automation works. Zapier has good training backup, so train internally and then get your trained staff to document their automations. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Anything that’s prone to human error or time consuming, like moving files around or creating documents or templates, all that sort of thing. Anything that’s really repetitive and doesn’t require a brain to think of subjective things, just following a very strict process, that’s the sort of stuff that is really good.’

‘I had a client the other day and we were speaking about setting up a Zapier. The idea was simple. Every time somebody booked into accommodation he would pull that data from the website and put it into a spreadsheet so he could than total up revenue for all his properties and split it out by property etc.’

‘That is the problem with setting up automation, it’s set and forget, out of sight out of mind, you’ve got to keep that forefront of your mind.‘

‘Sometimes automation is just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should. Sense check before you start to automate.’

In this episode Steve is going to teach you how to avoid the annoying back and forth chaos that is scheduling a meeting with a busy client or employee. By using calendar scheduling apps you can eliminate the often time consuming e-mail cat-and-mouse game of allotting time and automate and simplify your appointment calendar.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Using these apps you can book calls and meetings of different types, charge clients at point of booking, set up group meetings and classes and manage subscriptions. 
• The apps Steve has used are Calendly and Acuity and are quite similar and simple in operation. You can try these out for free for literally hours of time saved.
• You can sync your app with multiple calendars, so appointments booked over various calendars for different tasks, be them personal or business, are all cross referenced making it impossible for you to double book yourself. 
• They provide the ability for people to reschedule or cancel their appointment without having to contact you. The app will remove that appointment for you and free up that time slot for more scheduled tasks or meetings. 
• You can set up appointment reminders that not only act as memory joggers but can also inform and educate the client about your company or the nature of the upcoming meeting. Appointments can also be automated to start other tasks such as follow up emails or passing on a purchasing client to the next appropriate contact point. 
• You can use these apps to make yourself look busy. By clicking a few settings, the app will remove a reasonable looking amount of calendars appointment slots while still offering the client a reasonable variety of dates and times to book.
• You can integrate apps so, for instance, schedule zoom meetings and include the zoom link in the communication with the client. 
• When choosing which app to use, make sure to look at all your requirements, for example, its compatibility and integration with your current CRM or if it improves on the abilities of the calendar your CRM already provides. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘I’ll also explain how to pick the right apps for your business because there are a few options out there, and I’ll hopefully guide you on some principles you can use when deciding which one to go for.’

‘It’s like having a personal secretary who is doing all your scheduling for you on your calendar without you having to worry about it or without paying a secretary to do it.’

‘If they cancel, you can even set it up so it will automatically send them an email saying ‘hey, you canceled your appointment, would you like to rebook? Here’s the link to rebook.’ Or just to follow up the way your business wants to follow up people who cancel.’

‘I always feel a bit dubious when I book in with a coach or want to speak to a sales guy about a product or service, and literally they’ve got every single appointment available for the next three weeks.’

‘For our podcast guests, we book people into our podcast by simply sending them a link. On that link there’s a form and it captures things like their bio, their social images, any links to things they want to promote on the podcast, and also asks them a bunch of questions about what they want to talk about. It takes all the work away from me.’

Steve interviews Kevin Brittain, successful entrepreneur, marathon runner and philanthropist, who is running barefoot around the world! While doing this he fits in being a husband and father and holds two Guinness World Records for ‘Fastest Marathon Runner Dressed As a Ninja’. Currently vlogging his round-the-world virtual journey of 40,075 km he is also raising money for needy children as he goes. Steve gets to the bottom of how Kevin believes running is the ultimate stress busting tool for the modern businessman and entrepreneur and how none of it would be possible if he hadn’t systemized his success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Kevin and Steve met on one of Steve’s first ever courses for systems and outsourcing and this resulted in him being able to utilise Steve’s methods to step away from his property business through systemization.
• Kevin has been raising money for children’s charities since he was 11 and lost a friend to myeloma and witnessed the suffering it caused to his friends and family
• When using running to raise money, sponsorship often drops off after the first few challenges, so Kevin found he had to always go bigger and better. It is how he came up with the idea of running around the world and vlogging his experience at the same time. 
• He created the brand Runpreuner and a charity to raise one million pounds for Great Ormond Street Hospital, Children and Cancer UK, BBC children in Need, Operation Orphan, Internet Watch Foundation, Phab Kids and Long Covid Kids.
• Running has reduced Kevin’s stress immensely and he believes it can do the same for you. You can join his RED challenge where you run or walk at least a mile every day for either 30, 90, or 365 days. If you want to donate go to ;

BEST MOMENTS 

‘I was a bigger landlord back then, I had 96 houses at the time and around 250 tenants and I built this up from scratch. I had a team of people in place but for all of the glamour that the property industry had, it was anything but glamorous. It was getting involved with maintenance, getting involved with tenant management. I was doing 60 to 80 hour weeks’ – Kevin

‘It was such an incredible life changing experience for you as you said but for me it was one of the reasons, you are one of the reasons why I decided to go all in on this and make this my mission in life.’ – Steve

‘I thought ‘how would I fundraise?’ and I used running because it was something most people fundraise for and its quite an easy way to fundraise because it’s putting yourselves through some incredibly hard challenges.’ – Kevin

‘I’m going to set a crazy challenge. I’m going to try and run, on consecutive days, whilst vlogging a distance of one lap round the world. I thought that would be the ultimate ultra marathon.’ – Kevin

‘Ive been running since my mid twenties and I think that the times that I don’t, massively affects me. Whatever reason it kicks in, work, stress, whatever, you can slip out of that habit whether your habit is running or walking or cycling or just going outdoors and being with your kids, having that mental release is so important.’ - Steve

This episode is all about the Comms Assistant (CA) position. What is a CA? Why do you need one in your life? When should you be considering hiring one? Steve advises a CA to be sourced early on and he details exactly why a CA is an essential member of your team.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• A Comms Assistant is a gatekeeper between you and any incoming information be it e-mail, social media messaging like Instagram or Facebook, instant messaging like WhatsApp and SMS, or even voicemail or old fashioned post.  
• There is only a small percentage of this flow of information that urgently needs attention or action by you. Your CA will filter all of the data and make sure you only receive all that which is pertinent .
• Your CA will ensure your clients and other messages receive a reply in a timely fashion, setting a reasonable expectation for an action on their request. 
• As the role expands and the CA becomes familiar with your systems and organisation, they can then assign tasks appearing via communications to the appropriate member of your team. A task management app can be utilised  and your CA can input all those actionable communications to assign them to the correct staff in the correct timeframe.
• Set up rules for all the different types of communications and within a few weeks your CA will be fully able to circumnavigate you with unnecessary messaging.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Have somebody, a gatekeeper, between you and all of that noise.’

‘The main role that I see the person having, especially in the early days, is that they literally get rid of all the rubbish that comes in.’

‘Every problem that comes in to your inbox that you look at will take your attention away from the thing that you should be doing that day.’

‘We do this by bringing those messages into our task management app. We have a systemized method for doing this. We know how they are assigned priorities, who they’re assigned to, if there’s any actions that need to be done before we pass things over and then making sure those are chased up, and then the person is replied to in an appropriate time frame.’

When you have a quarterly or annual meeting and all the tasks and goals that have been previously put on the back burner are discussed and brought to light, how do you take that daunting incongruous list and present it in a way that is easy to manage and avoids “cherry picking” of the more desirable tasks? Steve has a simple way of visualizing even the largest list of jobs into an easy to prioritize chart. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Imagine you have a blank sheet of paper split into four equal quarters. On the vertical line you have impact scale and on the horizontal you have effort.
• Place your listed tasks as follows. At the top of the paper place the tasks which are going to offer the biggest rewards, or have a close deadline. From left to right, place the tasks which take the most to least effort. 
• Use a brainstorming approach, as until a good number of your tasks are represented on the chart, it will not be clear which are truly high priority or high effort. 
• You need to use a method for the chart that allows you to move things around as you go, so don’t just use pen and paper. There are digital versions and colour coding can increase the clarity, especially if you have different departments or task types. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘What typically happens in my business is you sort of end up cherry picking.’

‘What’s the impact of that being delivered and also from an internal point of view is there a high need for it?’

‘You put it relative to something else that’s on the board. So then you put something else on, and based on my opinion or those other people in the meeting, is that more or less impactful than those two things that are already on there?’

‘It was one of the most useful and productive meetings I’ve ever had and it was a meeting with myself!’

A fluctuating workforce is a real headache that seriously affects your overall efficiency. Steve shares his five golden rules with you that can create a much more productive use of time for both yourself and your employees.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Throughout any type of business, time management is a key factor in keeping productivity at a premium.
• It might seem simple, but create an operations manual. The more that your people know and understand how your business works at any level means the less you need to do.
• Although they’re designed to upgrade and augment your workforce, API systems have a high learning curve that then has a potential to do completely the opposite if you’re new to them. Think about what your business needs and what works best for it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘One of the biggest challenges I’ve seen people have or the mistakes they make is that they take people on maybe on a full time role, but they’ll not really have enough work for them.’

‘People can do all the work that you currently do so that you don’t have to do it.’

‘Nine times out of ten, actually from experience, people do want the extra work. They will be able to take that extra capacity’

‘Get your staff to become experts and then just make sure that they’re creating documents for what they’re doing so that then when they leave, someone else can pick up where they left off.’

Steve interviews business guru Justin Esgar who works guiding business, organizations and individuals through the world of Apple IT via his company Virtua Consulting Group. He also works as a business consultant and discusses his take on modern outsourcing, his career as an technical and children’s author and utilizing the correct personnel and IT for your company’s needs.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Justin has used virtual assistants and outsourced programming and sales tasks quite often in his career so far and has been impressed by its scope and ease.
• He uses Upwork, Fiverr and Guru, all online outsource personnel sites to find people for his technical, editing and writing requirements.
• Chief Technology Officers manages all your technology including your inventory, software, hardware, online presence, data flow and security, literally everything your organisation needs in Information Technology. Justin recommends them highly as the organiser of your outsource IT.
• Good employees cannot bring you better results without the correct tools to do the job and that’s a good IT system with reliable security and data backup.
• To create backups of data Justin uses Backupify as a cheap and simple solution to keeping your data safe.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘I outsource a lot of marketing efforts, whether it’s a sales company or a company who’s going to do my LinkedIn, or outsourcing my blog posts or stuff like that so I’m a huge proponent of it.’

‘Even though he’s outsourced I still talk to him on a regular basis, we have zoom calls like normal people and I still talk to him like he’s an employee but he doesn’t actually work for the company. I think of him like a contractor, he charges me by the hour, but I have no ties to him and if anything happens I can just get rid of him and find another programmer through that same system.’

‘We do a holistic overview of their entire system. We are talking computer, network, printers, scanners, phone systems, software, connectivity, electricity, wi-fi, and all of that gets encompassed in that role.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Justin is the founder and CEO of Virtua Consulting Group, a New York City-based company in its second decade of operation.
