SophieZo Virtually There For You

Do You Lather, Rinse and Repeat?

April 27, 2011 by sophiezo 2 Comments

There was a time when shampoo bottles had instructions that told you to lather, rinse and repeat. In today’s business world, there are many things we do that require multiple steps repeated again and again. These repetitive processes can make running a business monotonous and frustrating.

If you have a lot of repetitive processes in your business, it’s time to create systems around them and then delegate them to a Virtual Assistant or Online Business Manager. Here are 7 tips to help you get these repetitive tasks off your plate.

  1. Take a few days to pay attention to what you are doing each day to run your business.
  2. Pay particular attention to the tasks that have multiple steps and repeat regularly.
  3. Write down the task and the steps involved in each step.
  4. Send the list of tasks and associated steps to your Virtual Assistant or Online Business Manager.
  5. Your VA or OBM will then create a new system for each task.
  6. Review the systems created by your VA or OBM for accuracy and completeness.
  7. Determine a deadline or schedule for these new systems and delegate them to your Virtual Assistant or Online Business Manager.

Once this is done, you can take a second look at your time to be sure you’ve found all the repetitive processes involved in your business. In other words, “rinse and repeat.” Once you have delegated all these new systems to your VA or OBM, you can get back to doing what you love, following your passion and taking time for yourself, your family and your friends. Enjoy!

      Hi Kim!

      Thank you for the feedback and well wishes for my post. Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what to delegate especially when there are no systems in place. It’s a great way to get organized and have more time for the important biz tasks that need doing.

We’ve been working with Sophie Zollmann for almost half a year now, building an online lifelong learning platform and community from the ground up (because in-person classes became impossible in light of the corona virus). Sophie has guided every technical aspect of this enterprise including the construction of landing-pages and websites, the management of mailing lists and revenue funnels, setting up Zoom meetings, etc., allowing us to focus exclusively on content production and marketing. This platform is now off the ground and succeeding beyond our wildest hopes.

We couldn’t have built it without Sophie’s support, which has always been prompt and timely, and her guidance, as she’s always pointed us to the most efficient and economical solutions to whatever technical issue we’ve faced. In the heat of the moment, I’m sure we’ve not always been easy to work with, but Sophie has also been generous and understanding to a fault. In sum, her support has been flawless and absolutely essential to the success of our online enterprise. We will be relying on her services again as we ramp up for our next phase of growth.
