Not everything should be automated, just systemized (big difference)

Stop worrying about trying to automate everything.

Wait, but you tell me to automate, now you’re telling me not to?

No, I’m saying that automation is a bonus, but systemizing is the real goal.

That can be confusing, I know.

Give me a minute and I promise this concept will help you scale your business more simply.

The truth is, that automation is incredibly powerful.

You already know I love automation like a kid loves Christmas morning.

But many things can’t (or shouldn’t) be automated.

There’s no denying that.

Things like…

→ engaging with your audience

→ follow-ups for high-ticket offers

→ or handing your inbox (which I delegated - phew)

Getting stuck in an automation loop can be a lot like trying to untangle a ball of Christmas lights.

At the core, we just want things to get done, predictably and well.

That’s what matters most.

So if automating makes sense, yippie! One thousand percent, do it.

But if it can’t or you simply don’t know how, then you need to systemize and delegate.

And that’s what SOPs and accountability systems are for.

This is still a great first step, and one worth celebrating.

Because it gets you one step closer to removing yourself from the process.

And while automation would help your profit margins, the goal is to have systems that allow you to exit operations so you can focus more on growth.

Capiche?

So systemize more and worry about automating (a little) less.

See you all next Thursday 👋
