Step One: Do the Thing

Controversial, but true – the first step to building a repeatable process is doing it yourself. 

As the founder or leader, you're in the best position to understand what truly moves the needle for your business. 

In the early stages, when resources are tight, being hands-on helps you focus on tasks that matter most. 

So, roll up your sleeves and get to work. 

Be ruthless with your time and direct your efforts to activities that propel your business forward.

Step Two: Document the Thing

Once you've identified tasks that are pivotal for your business, the next step is to document them. 

Even before you bring in team members or decide who to delegate to, start documenting your processes. 

Use tools like Loom.com to create screencasts or simply jot down your process in a Google Document. 

Having a well-documented set of tasks becomes invaluable when onboarding new team members. 

It ensures clarity and helps them understand your expectations.

Step Three: Delegate the Thing

Here comes the ultimate test – delegation. 

This step is the litmus test for the repeatability of your process. 

It's not just about handing it over to another person; it could be delegating to a piece of software or setting up automation. 

The key is to get that task off your plate. 

By doing so, you prove that the process isn't confined to your brain; it's transferable and repeatable.

Why Follow These Steps?

Attempting to skip to step three without doing the task or documenting it first is a recipe for future headaches. 

You risk automation failure, misunderstandings, and increased friction as your business scales. 

Following these three steps ensures a solid foundation for repeatable processes, setting you up for success as you grow.

Embrace these steps, and you'll find yourself achieving more consistent results, smoother workflows, and a scalable business model.
