SYS 206: Mastering AI, Automation, and Delegation: Aytekin Tank's Blueprint for Scaling a Successful Business, the Founder of Jotform

🎙 In this episode of the Systemize Your Success podcast, Dr Steve Day interviews Neil Rogers, co-founder of Positive Activity and author of Bar Tips: Everything I Needed to Know in Sales I Learned Behind the Bar. Neil shares his unique journey from working in hospitality to becoming a sales expert, offering valuable sales strategy tips and emphasising the importance of mindset training and personal development.

 

He introduces his 11-step Positive Activity process, which includes practical tips for entrepreneurs on leveraging simple yet effective strategies to enhance their sales techniques and business development. Additionally, listeners will gain insights into the significance of consistency, the power of appreciation practices, and the value of building genuine relationships in sales.

 

Neil's engaging anecdotes and practical advice aim to inspire entrepreneurs to take actionable steps toward success while maintaining a positive mindset.





KEY TAKEAWAYS

💡 Mindset Matters: Starting each day with a positive mindset through practices like journaling and appreciation can significantly impact productivity and creativity. Reflecting on what you appreciate helps set a positive tone for the day.

💡 The Power of Personal Connection: Building relationships through in-person interactions and follow-ups is crucial in sales. Additionally, being present in various social settings and engaging with potential clients can create business opportunities.

💡 Effective Communication: Listening to clients and understanding their needs is essential. Moreover, tailoring your approach based on their feedback and being open to their requirements can lead to successful outcomes.

SYS 205: Elevate Your Sales Game: Insights from Hospitality to High-Level Deals with Neil Rogers, Co-founder of Positive Activity

🎙 In this episode of the Systemize Your Success podcast, Dr. Steve Day welcomes Judy Weber, a former trial lawyer turned renowned Christian business coach and scaling strategist for women entrepreneurs. Judy shares her inspiring journey from humble beginnings to becoming a successful coach, emphasising the importance of faith, mindset and authenticity in achieving business success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

💡 Mindset Matters: Mindset heavily influences business success. Therefore, examining and adjusting your thoughts to align with your goals is essential, as every strategy will only work if your mindset is right.

💡 Joyful Scaling Method: This method consists of three key strategies: Breakthrough Strategy (focusing on marketing and sales processes), Operations Strategy (emphasising team dynamics, standard operating procedures, and automation), and Profit Strategy (analysing financials and client results).

💡 Identify Your Best Client: It is crucial to understand and define your ideal client. Knowing their specific needs and challenges allows for more targeted marketing and communication, significantly enhancing engagement and conversion.

💡 Community and Support: Building a supportive community is vital for entrepreneurs, especially women. Moreover, sharing experiences and challenges with like-minded individuals can encourage and hold them accountable, making the entrepreneurial journey less lonely.

💡 Delegate Effectively: Utilize the Dream Team protocol to assess tasks and determine which should be delegated. Specifically, this involves categorising tasks into CEO-level activities, those that should be delegated, and those that can be kept based on personal preference and time management.

SYS 204: Unlocking Authenticity: How Embracing Your True Self Can Skyrocket Business Success - Interview with Judy Weber, Founder of Judy Weber Co

🎙 In this episode of the Systemize Your Success podcast, Dr. Steve Day welcomes business operations expert Tobey Wyatt, who shares her insights on navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship while managing ADHD. Tobey discusses her journey with ADHD, emphasising the importance of understanding energy expenditure rather than capability. 

 

The conversation delves into the significance of creating safe, judgment-free spaces for leaders to express their frustrations and the necessity of effective task and time management. Tobey highlights the curb-cut effect, illustrating how solutions for specific challenges can benefit a broader audience. 

 

The episode also explores the nuances of ambition, addressing the internal struggles many face when pursuing success and the importance of balancing ambition with empathy for others. Tune in for practical strategies and thought-provoking insights that can help entrepreneurs thrive amidst chaos.





KEY TAKEAWAYS

💡 Understanding ADHD and Neurodivergence: The discussion highlights the importance of recognising ADHD not as a capability problem but as a different way of processing information and energy. This perspective can help individuals understand their unique challenges and strengths.

💡Creating Safe Spaces for Communication: Establishing a judgment-free environment is crucial for effective leadership. Leaders should foster open communication where team members feel safe to express frustrations and challenges without fear of repercussions.

💡The Importance of Systems and Accountability: Business owners need to implement systems for task and time management. Having an accountability partner, such as a Chief of Staff or an operations expert, can help maintain focus on these systems and improve overall efficiency.

💡The Curb Cut Effect: Solutions designed for specific groups, such as those with disabilities, often benefit a wider audience. This principle encourages leaders to consider how addressing the needs of one individual can create positive changes for the entire team.

💡Ambition and Its Dual Nature: Ambition itself is not inherently negative; rather, it is the intent and methods used to pursue that ambition that can lead to destructive outcomes. Leaders should nurture their ambition while being mindful of their pursuit's impact on others.

09:53 - 💬 “Once we become aware of it and we can make choices based on our energy expenditures or inputs, then the world becomes so much better.” - Tobey Wyatt

10:16 - 💬 “One thing I truly believe is that the biggest challenges we face on a consistent basis are often the source of our greatest superpowers later in life.” - Steve Day

17:20 - 💬 “Most bad behaviour, most overreactions, and most responses that just don't feel good to other people are not driven from a place of, you know, I want to be mean, or I want to be hurtful...” - Tobey Wyatt 

35:41 - 💬 “The solutions that work for a marginalised group or a group that struggles with some sort of very specific things very often helps the mass population or a lot more people than the solution was necessarily intended for.” - Tobey Wyatt

45:58 - 💬 “It's not the ambition in and of itself that was the destructive force. There are two things about ambition that can be destructive. One is what you're ambitious about...” - Tobey Wyatt

SYS 202: Eliminating Project Overruns: My SMART Goals and Lead KPI Secret to Staying On Track

🎙 In this episode of the Systemize Your Success podcast, Dr. Steve Day welcomes Miriam Ortiz Y Pino, a simplicity expert and money breakthrough business coach. They delve into the challenges of disorganization and the importance of organizing for efficiency through creating systems that enhance productivity and profitability in both personal and professional lives.

💡 Motivation Through Desired Outcomes: Connect tasks to your larger goals to stay motivated in your organization journey. Additionally, understanding the "why" behind your actions can help maintain focus and drive.

🎙 In this episode of the Systemize Your Success podcast, Dr. Steve Day welcomes Miriam Ortiz Y Pino, a simplicity expert and money breakthrough business coach. They delve into the challenges of disorganization and the importance of organizing for efficiency through creating systems that enhance productivity and profitability in both personal and professional lives.
 
Miriam shares her journey from a naturally organized child to a successful entrepreneur, emphasising the significance of understanding the underlying systems behind tools and habits. In addition, listeners will gain practical insights on how to reverse engineer their goals, develop effective habits, and ultimately create a more streamlined and fulfilling existence.
 
Tune in for valuable tips on overcoming organizational obstacles and achieving a balanced life that integrates both joy and productivity.
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS
💡 Understanding Systems Over Tools: It’s essential to grasp the underlying systems that tools, like apps or planners, are meant to support. Otherwise, switching tools without understanding your needs and developing habits can lead to inefficiency.
💡 Incremental Improvements: Achieving organization and productivity is a gradual process. Focus on making small, manageable changes rather than attempting to overhaul everything at once. This approach helps build sustainable habits.
💡 Understanding financial statements and managing paperwork effectively can improve business practices and increase profitability.
💡 Motivation Through Desired Outcomes: Connect tasks to your larger goals to stay motivated in your organization journey. Additionally, understanding the "why" behind your actions can help maintain focus and drive.
💡 Holistic Approach to Life Balance: Instead of striving for a strict work-life balance, aim for an integrated life where work and personal interests align. This allows flexibility and enjoyment in both areas, leading to a more fulfilling existence.

💡 Importance for Business Owners: Recognizing and understanding emotions is crucial for business owners, as emotions underpin decision-making, learning, and overall human experience. This awareness can lead to better client relationships and improved business outcomes.

💡 Empathy in Client Interactions: Empathy is essential for understanding clients' emotions and needs. Moreover, by stepping into their shoes and seeing situations from their perspective, business owners can foster better relationships and enhance service delivery.

💡 Mindfulness and Presence: Mindfulness involves being present and focused on the current moment, which can improve communication and decision-making.  Additionally, it allows individuals to recognise their limitations and seek input from others, enhancing collaboration and understanding.

💡 Complementing Artificial Intelligence: Emotional intelligence is a vital human skill that complements artificial intelligence. While AI can handle data and automate tasks, it lacks the ability to understand and respond to human emotions, making emotional intelligence increasingly important in business and leadership.

SYS 198: The Crucial Role of Emotional Intelligence in Effective Business Management and Leadership - Interview with Dr. Robin Hills, Director of Ei4change

🎙 Dr Steve Day shares valuable insights on the importance of process optimization and continual improvement within a business. After a recent meeting with a staff member, he highlights how revisiting and streamlining existing systems can lead to significant time savings—potentially up to six weeks a year.



Furthermore, Steve emphasizes the necessity of adapting to changes in technology, team dynamics, and business needs. He also encourages entrepreneurs to empower new employees to provide fresh perspectives on outdated processes.



By leveraging tools like Asana, Zapier, and Slack, he illustrates how simplifying workflows can enhance efficiency and, therefore, free up time for more valuable tasks.





KEY TAKEAWAYS

💡 Continuous Process Optimization: Systemization is an ongoing process that requires regularly revisiting and updating systems to adapt to technological changes, team capabilities, and business needs.

💡 Fresh Perspectives from New Staff: Bringing in new employees provides an opportunity to evaluate existing processes. Moreover, their fresh eyes can identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement that long-term staff may overlook.

💡 Empower Staff to Speak Up: Creating a culture where employees feel comfortable sharing their thoughts on processes can lead to significant improvements. Additionally, encouraging honesty about challenges can help streamline operations.

💡 Eliminate Redundancies: Reviewing and simplifying processes can save substantial time. For example, eliminating unnecessary tasks and projects can free up hours to be redirected to more valuable activities.

💡 Focus on Core Processes: Regularly assess core processes, such as financial receivables, to ensure efficiency. Streamlining these processes can lead to significant time and cost savings, ultimately enhancing overall business performance.





BEST MOMENTS

01:40 - 💬 “You will never finish systemising your business because things change.”

05:00 - 💬 “When we bring someone new in, it's a huge opportunity to get a fresh pair of eyes on processes, for someone to tell us, this is difficult, this doesn't make sense, I'm struggling.”

10:49 - 💬 “Take check now and again to revisit some of your old existing processes, the core processes that aren't going to go away and make sure they are efficient.”





TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW

00:00 New staff highlighted the need for a system overhaul.

04:45 Encourage new hires to improve company processes.

10:25 Simplify processes to save time and money.

11:47 Mind inefficient processes; optimize them for efficiency.
