Redefining Systems
I often talk about systems when I meet with different people. It is a popular topic among business owners who want to scale. But what
Your powerful voice makes you a leader, you are not afraid to stand against what you feel is wrong and are strong willed and can do an awful lot with little help. You attract and acknowledge those who normally don't have voices and you truly help them to grow.
You are staunchly independent and freaking proud of it. You don't need to record all your goals and plans down because you focus in on the moment you're in and it works.
You know your shit, and aren't bothered by anything else. Your boundaries are solid and you know and respect your own limits. You don't see any fires, because you do what you know and that's golden for you
You find systems overrated and just far more effort than it's worth, it might make your business grow faster, or be better for your team. But it takes to much effort to do so,
When trouble hits, you look back to what works before. You might use tools that are classed as “antiquated” but honestly don't fix what isn't broken. You don't need to brute force solutions because you're able to use what you already know to create a better solution. The way you work isn't the most efficient but that doesn't matter because they work. Your mantra of don't fix what ain't broken has kept you in business so why change now?!
You can see the benefit of a “customised system” but you don't feel the need to worry about it right now – as you've got other things to do!
I won't tell you how to fix your system right here, because effective systems are individualised extensions of your self and your business. But I can give you some tips that tend to work for people of your type.
You Will Always Be Busy If You Don't Fix Your Systems – Even though your system doesn't feel like it's broken there are probably cracks that you're just ignoring right now. Yes. You can beat any issue you face. But wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to struggle?
Things don't always have to be hard – You are fighting against the grain all the time. Wouldn't it be nice if one part of your business wasn't fighting against you?
A system will help make your powerful voice even stronger. Your message is important; but often you end up dealing with things that are far beyond you. If you have a strong system behind you, it will magnify your voice as you hone your message and your craft.
You need a system that gives you flexibility when you need it, and also rain you in when you just need to focus. You thrive in an environment that's challenging. So adding creative restraint will keep you focus whilst also giving you freedom.
The feeling you need to get out of your system is creative boundaries. You need space to store ideas, and also to keep you focused at the same time.
Your first step? Get it outta your head. As a rebel, you often keep things in your head. Get things outta your head and into a place that you can quickly find whenever you need it.

Simplicity is often seen as doing less things or taking things away for you to do! It's not quite right!

I love talking to business owners but when I talk about systems I get one of three responses. It all depends on where they are in their business journey!
Do you struggle with niching as a creative? There might actually be a reason.
Flow. It feels soo darn good. But what happens when you can't get INTO it? Is it time to burn down your business, start again?
I've been searching for ages for a good way to describe why I do what I do the way I do it then I discovered “Bio-individuality”. It summed it all up for me.
