ScaleYou
At WorkSitter, we love working with microentrepreneurs who want to do one thing exceptionally well. These are often businesses with 10 or fewer full-time employees who are working lean and plan on staying that way. We believe that when microentrepreneurs scale themselves as leaders and visionaries, their lives become infinitely better. That's why we want to dive into the concept of "ScaleYou" and how it can help you become more productive and efficient.
What is ScaleYou?
"ScaleYou" is the notion of scaling your talents, your energy, your enthusiasm, and your team. It's about getting rid of all the little (or big) things you don't want or have to do and focusing on what you want to do and the things you do well.
5 Components to ScaleYou
At WorkSitter, we believe that there are 5 components that allow you to scale and grow yourself. These are time magic, talent magic, task magic, team magic, and tool magic.
TIME MAGIC
We believe that you are most rewarded when you work in a way that fits you best. For instance, if you are most productive when listening to music, then listen to music. There is no right or wrong answer regarding the method you use to accomplish tasks. We suggest asking yourself the following two questions:
How do I make my time count in the way I want to? For instance, what do I want to have accomplished at the end of the day, and how do I get there?
When is my peak mental clarity? This is the time of day that I find I am most productive. And then schedule that time!
TALENT MAGIC
Talent magic refers to accessing your strengths. At WorkSitter, we believe that your strengths are often what you enjoy doing. We suggest focusing at least 50% of your time on your strengths and tracking your talent. Then, assess the tasks you are doing throughout the day that you do not like and would love never to have to do again so that you can hand them off.
TASK MAGIC
For each task, ask yourself if it has to be done. If so, does it have to be done by you? Does it have to be done now? When you take a moment to stop and think about each task, you'll be constantly surprised by how often tasks are not necessary, do not have to be done by you, or can wait. At WorkSitter, we love SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) and we LOVE doing them for you. We suggest writing them down and getting them out of your head and onto paper to visualize your tasks at hand more clearly. Actually, even better is to screen record yourself doing the task or procedure and then pass the video off to a teammate to create the SOP and take over the responsibility!
TEAM MAGIC
No matter how small your team is, each member has different jobs and responsibilities. At WorkSitter, we believe in breaking your team out into categories such as WorkSitters, Doers/Assistants, Run with It, and Generator/Strategist, depending on your business's needs. Then hire based on projections. We suggest hiring a lot of WorkSitters and Doers. It is only a small percentage of your revenue for a month. This is how you can multiply yourself because it translates into a higher profit.
TOOL MAGIC
Another great way to scale yourself is to use Loom or any app to record yourself and your screen to make "How To" videos. Make as many as you can, as often as you can. These are great reference materials for your WorkSitters and Doers. Google Docs for sharing work is a phenomenal way to collaborate with your team. Another thing we love to do at WorkSitter is voice record our thoughts. This way, we can send them over to your Teammate and say, "Hey, can you do this for me?" Utilizing available tools is a great way to multiply yourself.
You've Already Broken the Mold!
We believe that entrepreneurs are extraordinary human beings. You are motivators, and generators, and break the mold every single day. That’s your greatest talent. We reject corporate America's idea of the perfect business model. Believe it or not, 13% of the population are entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. That's it! Everyone else does what is asked of them.
ScaleYou is comprised of the above 5 components that allow you to multiply and maximize your effectiveness as an entrepreneur. One of our Visionaries’ favorite and most cost-effective ways of scaling their business is using WorkSitter to help them stay on track and be more productive.
