It’s pretty basic – start immediately and keep it simple. Start by simply documenting your processes. You’ll get clarity on your systems while simultaneously reviewing them so you can make improvements.
This also helps you prepare for training any help you may bring on. The truth is there’s no such thing as a solopreneur. Every successful brand needs help. The best way to determine what to delegate, the skills needed, and training materials is to have it all documented.
Documentation Made Simple
The process of creating documentation doesn’t have to be painful either. Breaking it into pieces makes it easier and any progress is better than no progress on this one. For example, when you’re about to perform a routine task, record it. That’s it. When you have time go back and use the video to write down instructions.
(Pro tip: Schedule the time into your calendar or add it to your task manager so you actually go back and do it.)
While final documents should include written instructions. They don’t have to start that way. Audio notes, YouTube videos and playlists, even screenshots can be used as references. They also don’t have to be the executive’s responsibility alone. Getting the whole team involved means more insight and less work for everyone involved.
