When starting your business, often, you still need to get systems and processes in place, and everything is in your head. But if your long-term goal is to grow your business, then creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) would serve you well. First, it is easier to replicate your original products and services if you have SOPs in place, saving you time and training costs as you grow your team. Second, SOPs also protect the quality of your output. Finally, after building your SOPs, you can turn them into your proprietary blueprint or playbook, which will be a strong foundation for your growth plans. So how do you start building SOPs?
