How to create a Simple System for Small Business Success, with Sasha Belle.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
"When it comes to systems, you don't have to wait until you "blow up"! Just because you're a small business doesn't mean that you can't run like the big corporations do." - Sasha Belle
Having a system should be a given for any business owner, but where do you even start when you're new to the game? What is all this talk about a System, anyway? It sounds complex, right? It's NOT! It's supposed to make things easier.
In this episode of The Shine to FIVE™ Method for Side Hustlers, my guest is Systems & Team Building Strategist, Sasha Belle. She KNOWS all there is to know about helping your Business FLOW!
During our conversation, we cover:
- what a System is, in simple terms.
- 3 simple steps to create a System for your Business.
- some essential tools that will help you stay in your zone of genius.
More about Sasha:
Entrepreneurs come to me when they are tired of doing 'all the things' and need better tools and systems set up - so they can build better teams & scale without being plugged in all the time.”
With almost 10 years of upper management experience behind her, Sasha started The Workflow Strategist & Co to do just that - help coaches, creatives & consultants streamline & automate their systems, so they can truly focus on bringing their bigger picture vision to life.
