SOPs — Because People Can Be Stupid (me included)

Let’s be honest—nobody starts a business thinking, “Ooh, I can’t wait to spend my life writing SOPs!” (Standard Operating Procedures, for those who’ve blissfully avoided the term until now.)

But if your business is growing, it’s probably time to face the music. SOPs aren’t just for boring corporate types—they’re your secret weapon for saving time, stopping mistakes, improving business efficiency, and dodging those “can you just show me again?” messages.

Here’s how to cheat the system and finally create those SOPs:

1. Screen record it.
   Seriously, stop typing. Record your screen with Loom while you do the task and waffle your way through it. Done. (Yes, this counts as business process documentation.)

2. Pass the buck.
   Hand that video to your Virtual Assistant (that’s us 👋). We’ll turn it into a polished, step-by-step process ready for your team or contractors to follow.

3. Keep it messy (at first).
   SOPs aren’t set in stone. Get it rough and ready, then tweak it later. Progress over perfection, darling.

And here’s the kicker most people don’t think about:
SOPs are also your secret legal protection. If an employee or contractor ignores a clearly documented procedure—whether it’s about admin tasks, client onboarding, or how to manage your CRM—you’ve got the proof that they were trained. With SOPs, you’ve got a documented process that protects your business.

The result?
✅ No more explaining the same thing 87 times
✅ Fewer “oops” moments
✅ A lovely little safety blanket if things go sideways
✅ Oh, and it makes outsourcing admin tasks so much easier, too

Need help creating your first SOP? You guessed it—we love this stuff.
