How to protect yourself against devastating events while making more money than you dreamed possible and why this has a direct impact on how well you sleep at night?

Most people think about systems as a productivity hack.

A method to get more done with less effort or in less time.

This is true.

Good system design means you are just doing the work required to get the results your business needs…

• You are not paying for your team to struggle to find links or resources.
• You are not paying your team to problem solve every time something must be done…
• You are not having your team forget work they were assigned and then have last-minute deadlines...

Best of all - your team is not asking you for “how do I do…?”

You might see a lot of value in what previously took 3 hours is now getting done in an hour and a half…

Twice as much work for the same payroll? Yes, please.

But here is where it gets interesting.

Many CEOs and COO’s assume that not having systems just means it takes twice as long to do everything.

Shockingly, this is not true.

You see, your lack of systems opens you up to “asymmetric risk”.

What is this asymmetric risk?

Well, when something goes wrong in your business, it is not limited to just taking twice as long to fix.

Instead, the damage could be 3, 7, or 20x more work to fix the error.

Think of it like this - if a system catches an error for building a house while it is at the blueprint stage… It will likely not take too much effort to fix this.

But if that same error is missed due to not having systems in place… AND it first gets picked up in the final build?

Now the cost to fix that error is exponentially greater than before.

And in extreme cases - the mistakes or errors have consequences that are so severe they cannot be repaired with any amount of money or time…

Think workplace accidents leading to traumatic injuries or law cases brought against you.

These types of system failures take years to resolve and typically result in many nights of lost sleep, stress, anguish, and regret.

Despite these risks, most business owners are so busy struggling with the lack of productivity from not using systems in their business that they are blissfully unaware of the asymmetric risks their business is exposed to.

And it is only after a devastating event, they wonder - why did they not pay more attention to systems?

If you would like to avoid devastating, apparently “unforeseen” system failures, then it is time to learn how to run effective systems in your business.

PS. Once you know how to think in systems, business risk will become obvious and you will no longer have to worry about “out of the blue” surprises putting your business and your family at risk. This means you can sleep well at night as well as have a business filled with calm, steady productivity.
