Take the time to create documentation.
Operating a solo enterprise eliminates bogged-down procedures and purple tape of working with an organization. Wish to make a pivot? You’re the solely decision-maker. Wish to change a course of? Go forward and do it.
However sooner or later, each solo enterprise proprietor begins to consider development. That may imply bringing on a full-time rent or fractional assist. At that time, you might discover that you simply’re scrambling to clarify the processes and procedures that exist solely in your head to a different individual.
I bumped into this just a few months in the past after I employed a digital assistant. Inside a brief time period between signing an settlement and her begin date, I wanted to create some normal working procedures (SOPs). The SOPs defined the work she wanted to do and in addition why that work was necessary for my enterprise (to provide her the suitable context).
Since then, I’ve created normal working procedures (SOPs) for different components of my enterprise, even those who I’m nonetheless doing myself. I don’t know what the long run holds or at what level I is perhaps passing off a few of that work to different folks. It’s higher to create the paperwork now and tweak them than be in a mad scramble sooner or later.
