INSIGHT

Systems Bake In Discipline

  • A true system embeds discipline so outcomes repeat without constant human willpower.
  • Systems are more reliable than any individual because they remove emotional variability from execution.
ADVICE

Design Systems With Vision

  • Build vision first: design how your skill can produce repeatable results without you.
  • Create processes that anyone can follow so the system replaces you when needed.
