by Founders Financial — Time is a precious commodity. When in short supply, it can hamper your ability to focus on growth-oriented activities, stifling your potential to build strong relationships, expand your enterprise, and satisfy your mission and desire to impact others. Let’s explore the profound impact of time constraints and introduce a transformative solution: systemize everything.
By embracing this approach, you can more easily navigate the chaos, regain control over your time, place harmony and balance in your life, attract others to you, and empower you to promote your mission and purpose.
Comprehensive, Honest Assessment
This system-focused philosophy means you must take stock and evaluate the processes, rituals, and strategies you have today that guide how you and your business performs. By objectively reevaluating these elements, you’ll begin to see and create efficient and repeatable systems that streamline how you and your business function optimally and at scale. By building a system, you discover that you’re better able to delegate responsibilities, empower your team, and focus on value creation – ultimately amplifying your impact on your relationships and your enterprise as a whole.
Systemization of your day-to-day improves your ability to become a more selfless servant leader with greater influence and impact. Serving others demands one of your most valuable and depleting resources—time. To overcome this challenge, systemization becomes a powerful tool in the arsenal, allowing you to reclaim your time and redirect your energy toward meaningful interactions and growth-oriented endeavors. You free yourself up to prioritize serving others and cultivate deep, meaningful relationships.
The Role of Technology
When you think of systemizing something, the use of technology is a resource leaders will often look to. It’s true; technology is an incredible tool, especially when used to harness the intangible element of time. When technology is utilized effectively and consistently, it delivers many benefits, such as making processes more consistent and easier to execute while providing more predictable results. By strategically embracing technology as a tool, you can automate repetitive tasks and establish repeatable systems that bring order to the chaos. For example, keeping in touch with your client relationships throughout the year can be time-consuming, especially if you have many relationships and wish to share relevant information with them regularly. Your marketing automation technology empowers you to prepare communications for any number of things, including market changes, upcoming meeting confirmations, and even personalized birthday wishes. If you think about your communication strategy as a defined, planned, and organized process — considering who you want to connect with, when that connection should occur, what the nature of communications should be, and how you plan to communicate — and then layer in technology to execute the desired outcome of that process, you’ve just systematized a critical element of your enterprise.
It’s important to remember, though, that while technology is a remarkable tool, at the end of the day, it’s still just a tool, or a collection of tools, designed to help execute a vision — not create one. That responsibility still rests with you. The mere ownership of a tool does not produce the desired effect or return. Rather, you must have a purpose and objective for the tool so that you can measure the positive impact it is having in your life. You must clearly understand your needs, desires, frustrations, and matters of importance — leveraging your unique individual strengths of invention, idea generation, strategic thinking, and problem-solving to take the steps necessary to create the operating system best tailored to you and your enterprise.
Build Your Operating System
Within this landscape, it becomes obvious that a transformative solution designed to unite your enterprise with the people, processes, and technologies necessary to simplify how you operate your enterprise is not only something worth considering but an essential business strategy. In our conversations with many advisors, we discovered they often share common challenges. Their ability to develop scale and efficiency in their enterprise is limited due to the need for consistent, repeatable processes and rituals.
When we brought TRU Enterprise OS to market in 2023, our goal was to bring together the services and tools required to operate a modern wealth management enterprise in such a way that made the implementation of processes simple — delivering a turnkey system to operate their enterprise efficiently and at scale. When advisors in our community combined it with our Strategic Enterprise Program, designed to help advisors grow themselves and their enterprise through proven dimensional servant leadership skills, the results have been transformational and inspiring. They now possess the tactical and strategic skills to succeed and truly systemize all aspects of their enterprise.
Time is a Constraint and a Catalyst
Remember, time is both a constraint and a catalyst for growth. The weighty demand for more time necessitates reshaping your enterprise’s landscape and embracing the transformative power of systematization. By leveraging solutions like TRU Enterprise OS and the Strategic Enterprise Program, you can transcend the limitations imposed by time and create a future where your enterprise and relationships thrive comfortably. Imagine what you could accomplish if you had the breathing room to shift your focus wholeheartedly towards fostering meaningful relationships, driving innovation, and building a legacy. Now stop imagining, and pull out a pencil and notepad. The journey towards scalable systematization starts when you do – when is the best time to unlock the full potential of your role as a financial advisor, CEO, and selfless servant leader? It’s ultimately up to you but remember: the clock is ticking.
