👩🏾‍💻 Tech Savvy 😍
In the early days of computing, programmers developed what was known as a graphical user interface to make computers more accessible to every-day users. Technology didn't stop there.

Emerging business owners tend to expect to — and get bogged down by the need to — wear MANY hats and one of the most significant sources of overwhelm for entrepreneurs, is technology [or lack thereof].

BUT!!

Just as the GUI empowered offices across the globe, we're continuing our series on strategies for systematizing your business by exploring how fairly roobust technology can be used to bolster your sexy backend ops.

By the end of our time together you will have concrete knowledge of applications that you and your team can use to achieve technobalance.

Last season on Planning Out Loud, we spent a good month - literally 4 weeks talking about putting together research specifications and procedures for a moment like this. Your best action here is to spend some time mapping out your desired experience. Take each segment of your business and start off with some "If This Then That" thinking when it comes to customer actions that become a signal to respond to from your end of things.

Next show → : Episode 7. Reverse engineering your business operating system

• Do you fall into the trap of thinking “What is the one-size-fits-all-best-system/process here?” rather than looking at what will be right for you specifically? During Episode 6, we're going to explore what Process looks like when it caters to your core strengths and talents.
