A lot of business owners are waiting for the perfect time to document how their business runs. But it's already running every day, and you're already doing the work.

Open your voice recorder and talk through what you do every day, the way it actually works right now, not how you want it to look. Then copy the transcript into your AI of choice and let it work with you to turn it into steps. Take out names and personal details first.

What's the first task you'd talk through?

Here's what a business owner gets from the Smooth Operations Roadmap

☝🏽First, we walk through how your business actually runs, day to day. Most owners I meet don't have a real plan or SOPs yet, and that's what I'm looking for.

➡️Your Operations Map: a visual picture of how your business runs today, where the opportunities are, and how I'd address each one.

➡️ A live walkthrough where I take you through every piece of it.

That map is yours to keep. For a lot of owners, it's the first time they’ve seen their whole operation is in one place.

Whether you build with me, hire someone, or bring in new tech, you're set up to bring in the right help. And if you do decide to build with me, the cost of the Roadmap is applied to the build 🙌🏽

I spent 17 years in enterprise operations, so I'm looking at how things actually get done in your business day to day, not just how they look on paper (or in your head 😏)

Nobody works harder than solopreneurs. But a lot of us have normalized things we shouldn't: keeping everything in our heads or in 18 different places, repeating ourselves because there's no central place to find anything, missing a payment or forgetting to send an invoice, checking 3 inboxes to figure out what's going on.

We normalize it because we're small or solo and carrying way more than we should. But the market doesn't have a tolerance for missed follow-ups or late invoices, and it's a big part of why small businesses get accused of poor customer service. It's almost never intentional. It's what happens when there are no systems in place.

Get organized first, then get some of it off your plate. Which one hit home? Link in bio for the Roadmap.

Checking 3 different inboxes just to figure out what's urgent? Here are 4 tips.

1. Forward your other accounts into the one inbox you check most.
2. Create 3 labels (folders in Outlook): Needs me, Needs someone else, Can wait.
3. Save the replies you send every week as templates.
4. When you hand an email off, forward it with a name and a due date.

A lot of what's in your inbox is repeat work that's taking hours you could be spending with your clients.

The Smooth Operations Roadmap maps the inbox and everything behind it. Link in bio.

Should you learn to build your own AI systems, or hire someone to do it?

If you've got real time to dedicate to it and you enjoy it, by all means, learn it.

But be honest about 3 things:
☝🏽Do you know how to build it properly? ☝🏽Do you have the time to make sure it's done right?
☝🏽And is this the best use of your time?

If you're solo and your revenue comes from you serving your clients, hire someone who does this every day, let them teach you how to use it, and keep it pushing.

Owners love a dashboard these days, and rightfully so. But who determines what goes on it 🤔

My short list is in the post. Money due in and out, who's waiting on a decision from you, anything with a date on it, and one row per business if you run more than one.

I run my own dashboard like this. My assistant checks my inbox(ES) and calendar(S) before I sit down and flags anything time-sensitive. You can't fix what you can't see ☝🏽

The Smooth Operations Roadmap outlines what you need to see before anything gets built. Link in bio 😏

What happens to your business when the one person who knows everything leaves?

Anyone who's worked in corporate has seen it. Somebody quits, a replacement gets hired, and it takes forever for that new person to get up to speed, because so much of what the last person did was never written down. They end up figuring it out as they go.

That's what an SOP solves for. When the steps are documented, the job gets done properly every time, no matter who's doing it. And in a lot of small businesses, the person who knows everything is the owner ☝🏽

Every business owner I know has been told to write SOPs. Almost nobody has been told what one is or where to start.

The first version is supposed to be rough. The point is getting the job out of your head and onto a page, so it stops depending on you being there to explain it.

And honestly, talking is the easiest way to get it out. Most owners can walk through a task out loud way faster than they can type it, so let the AI handle the writing. Just take out names and personal details before you paste anything in.

Not sure which task should go first? The Smooth Operations Roadmap is where I start. Link in bio.

So AI is too much of a hype-man? I get that.

Actually, kudos to you for noticing. An LLM's default is to agree with you but there are ways around that if you know how.

The reason it hypes you is simple. You ask "is this good?" and it goes hunting for every reason to tell you 'yes'. The question was framed so agreement was the only answer. Change the frame, you change what comes back.

Stop asking it to grade your idea and instead ask it to break it.

Try this- Hand it a role that has a reason to disagree with you: "Read my pitch as a skeptic and tell me what you'd say." Now it's not your hype-man, it's the hardest person in the room, and that's who you actually needed.

My favorite one is: "Before you agree with me, give me the strongest case against this with specifics." This makes it argue the other side first, so you know it's not just giving yes-man energy.

I keep saying this but AI is a tool. It'll respond to the inputs it's given, we just have to think differently about the way we're using it.

Trust me, you're not alone. What's the last thing AI cosigned that you knew good and well it shouldn't have? 😏
