Reviewing your processes and systems with Kristy Robinson

My guest on the show today is the amazing Kristy Robinson. Kristy is a business coach and consultant specializing in helping small business owners scale and build sustainable businesses through strategies and systems.

In this episode, Kristy is here to help us explore how to review your processes and systems to build a sustainable business that will still be running effectively and enjoyably in the long term. Kristy is an expert at the messy middle and is here to share her experience and advice with you on growing and scaling your business without falling into a big pit of overwhelm.

Kristy advises you to reflect on your operating model. Begin with your current offers and your service delivery. Remember, just because you’ve always done it one way doesn’t mean you always have to. Refine and restructure your business to work for you and the lifestyle you want to create.

Your personality as a business owner has a great impact on how you lead your business, so take a moment to slow down and think about how you’ve structured your processes and systems and if it’s really working for you.

Grab a pen and paper and write down Kristy’s insights and tips for building a business that suits your skills and passions so you’re still enjoying it 10 years down the road.
