Yesterday I got frustrated…
See a friend had screwed up.
Fifteen months ago he hired a new employee.
…Turns out despite what he said at the interview, he’s unreliable, unskilled, and angling for a pay rise to boot.
Again.
Truth is, I warned him after he hired and fired the last special snowflake that you can try everything; bonuses, training maybe different ways of hiring – but the result is always the same.
They need too much babysitting…
The lesson?
Don’t cry about employees and then go hop back in the van for more.
It is dumb fcukery of the highest order.
And I get it…
The rules of being ‘successful’ in this game state you should have staff right?
Lots of little minions to boss around…
While you get to be the big cheese.
But the fact of the matter is, it’s only once you have been in this game a while you realise…
Employees don’t work like that.
Sure turnover may get a bump, but the number that really matters takes a big hit.
After-all, and as anyone who’s added body after body to a business will tell you…
Employees eat profit for breakfast.
… Maybe lunch and dinner too.
Meaning you end up paying for more bodies, more payroll and more ball ache – without the bump in money to back it up.
… All whilst you lose your mind trying to stay on the right side of the HR line.
Little wonder those who choose to employee up can never profitably scale.
The thing is, even if you could get free labour, on tap, that did what you asked when you asked it…
Bloat from bodies makes you slow and cumbersome.
Always.
And remember…
… As a rule and as you scale, you’d be wise to keep your business interests LEAN and agile.
It means you can turn on a dime and in the blink of an eye.
It’s why out of my three S.A.S Procotcols, systems and automation are your biggest nut to crack if you want bigger profits and more freedom….
Now, I know what you’re thinking…
“B-U-T Charlie, you can’t automate what I do!”
… But what if you can start taking 10%, 20% even 50% of the grunt work off your plate, hour after hour, week after week – automatically?
Imagine that…
Tasks delegated to employees, automatically.
Documents created, automatically
Employees given instructions on time, every time, automatically.
And on top of that customer emails, communications and updates happening consistently and on autopilot – so that they stop pestering you.
You’ll wipe out reactivity and reliance overnight…
See, systems and automation take you out of the equation.
Completely.
Begging the question…
What would that kind of freedom feel like?
What would you do with the extra time?
How much more productive (and profitable) could you be, if you finally took all of that work off your plate and automatically put it on someone else’s lap?
It’s this kind of machine first thinking that behind my closed doors has meant:
… Hayden finally hit 1.5M after automating over 2,175 man-hours of work.
… Paul from N. Wales scaled from 350K to 1M+ after 5 years of being stood still.
… Alan and his brother scaled to 217k in profit in their two-man operation.
… Matt in The Midlands scaled to 101k a month after getting rid of two employees.
… Chris scaled to from 12k to 48k per month with no employees in his engineering business.
… Steve scaled to 76k per month with just one other member of staff.
And how right now in 2024 you too can do exactly the same.
So if that sounds like what you want and if you too are ready to scale to 1M+ without an army of employees, then here’s what to do next.
