Here are my 5 rules for creating an automated empire that can operate with or without you:

Rule #1: Every task needs a system

Create a Google Doc for each important task in your business. 

Write down the goals of the task, write down the process, and write down all the resources someone would need to complete it. 

Rule #2: Every task needs a video

Record yourself completing the task to your highest standard. 

Break down the process and make it replicable. 

Rule #3: Add each system to a Google Sheet

The Google Sheet is the hard drive of your operating system. 

Use it to delegate, measure, and check on each task. 

Rule #4: Review systems once a week

Go over each system once a week, review them in detail, get feedback, improve the system, and iterate through perfection. 

Rule #5: Each leader to their department

Give one person a system and don’t let them delegate it. 

You need to have full confidence in your operations so you can focus on other things. 

Fail to implement systems, and it doesn’t matter how much effort you put in. 

You’ll always be struggling to keep your head above water.
