130 - Build Deep Processes
A business is nothing more than a series of processes that are repeated overtime to generate a consistent results. It seems pretty simple, so why is running a business so difficult?
There is a reason why over 90% of businesses in the United States are sole proprietorships. Very few business owners ever build processes that are clear enough for them to get help.
By building processes, on paper first, outside of any system, you are building the foundational value of your company. Not only that but you're actually making it easier for you to run.
When you have the checklist or process document someone his been using for a function in your organization and that person leaves, you can quickly replace them. This will build a new sense of security and safety for you in your organization.
You will need it, because when you build a deeper process, your company will grow much faster and it is much more likely that you will be promoting people rather than having them leave.
