“Never automate something that can be eliminated, and never delegate something that can be automated. Otherwise, you waste someone else’s time instead of your own, which now wastes your hard-earned cash. How’s that for incentive to be effective and efficient?”
-Tim Ferris
Working more does not result in more results. So, don’t trick yourself in to doing redundant, low value tasks so you can feel productive.
We all do it. We take two hours to sit there and organize and bill our members shirt-order 1-by-1 when this can easily be automated by connecting a Typeform to a Google Sheet that is already shared to your shirt printers Google Drive. (You could easily do the same thing with supplements or pre-orders for any type of retail item)
This is an example of an automation that costs virtually nothing and takes 5 minutes to setup once and allows you to organize and collect those orders while you focus on a higher value, higher return task you may have been putting off.
Focus on “effectiveness over efficiency.” It’s no good being efficient in tasks that are not effective in the results you desire.
Sit down with a sheet of paper and start listing of the repetitive, redundant tasks you do each week that eat up your hours.
The apply this process to each task to increase your performance.
Ask yourself the following four questions:
Question #1 – Eliminate
Does this task need to be done?
Does it help me get to where I want to go?
If yes, go to Q2.
If no – don’t do it!
Question #2 – Simplify
Can this task be simplified?
If yes, simplify it.
If no, go to Q3
Question #3 – Automate
Can this task be automated?
If yes, automate.
If no, go to Q4.
Question #4 – Delegate
Can this task be delegated?
If yes,delegate.
If no, identify what needs to happen in order to delegate it.
Things we know for sure that can automated or delegated or some combination of…
- Marketing systems, lead nurture and follow up (though additional manual follow up will definitely pay dividends)
- Member retention communications
- Membership Billing
- Organization of almost any list or data
- Programming
- Retail item billing
- Member accountability systems
- Member nutrition systems
- Coaching
Things that a “CEO” should never delegate or automate…
- Leadership
- Planning & Strategy
- Keeping a communication cadence amongst your team
- Hiring of mid level roles below yourself within your business like admin, managers or head coaches
The type of salary your business will produce for you often times correlates with the role you assume within your business.
If you wear the admin and coaching hats too long and continue to fill the hours you have with redundant task you’ll continue to be the bottleneck of your business and the you’ll likely be limited to the pay those positions are worth, which the market has set at between $15-$25/hour in most markets.
