Raise your hand if you got into business for yourself to have more freedom, more balance, more flexibility, more abundance in general of all the good stuff that matters to you.
For many of us creative-minded business owners who have freedom and balance as our goal, the idea of systems, structure, and boundaries feels like the OPPOSITE of freedom (am I right?!), and our knee-jerk reaction is total resistance.
We worry it’ll stifle our creativity, our authenticity, or our flexibility and our fun.
But turns out - systems are THE EXACT THING that creates more freedom for you in business!
Done right, business systems create more time, reduce headaches and frustration, prevent overwhelm, make you more money, and even keep your clients happier.
That’s why I’m excited for this conversation with my special guest, friend, OBM and ‘second brain’ behind-the-scenes, Katrina Cobb.
Katrina is an expert in the strategy and operations realm, has been a coach, consultant, and worked online and offline in the business space. She’s a strategic and focused thinker (and former architect!) who’s a genius at systems and helping give you back your brain space and time so you can focus on your genius.
Join us in the replay below for a deep dive into systems for freedom.
We chatted about the common symptoms that indicate you could benefit from better systems in your business, the top areas most business owners need to systemize, and some of the quick wins and tips to implement systems simply to experience more freedom right away.
We also highlighted a behind-the-scenes look at how these same systems have supported me and my business and created more time freedom and brain space for overall sustainable scalability in a way that feels good.
Wishing you your version of success!
XO, Kim
