If something in your business can be measured, it’s something you can improve. But we business owners often don’t measure; instead, we’re keen on licking our forefingers and sticking them up in the air to see which way the wind blows. If we want to scale our businesses and increase their value, we need to create a systematic guideline that’s objective, measurable, and repeatable.
In this episode, I discuss what standard operating procedures are and why every business needs to have them. I explain the importance of putting standard operating procedures (SOPs) into writing and how you can choose the appropriate format for your SOP manual. I also discuss how writing a solid SOP document can increase the value of your company and underscore how having effective SOPs can give you the freedom that you deserve.
“SOPs are instruction manuals for your company; they ensure that you’re documenting every step you’ve done, so you can control the quality in your company.” - Justin Goodbread
