Episode notes
SOPs Are Business Recipes
- SOPs are recipes for business tasks that remove guesswork and organize steps.
- They prevent forgetting details and keep results consistent across varying energy levels.
Write SOPs For Repeatable Tasks
- Do write SOPs for nontrivial or repeatable tasks you frequently forget or perform inconsistently.
- Capture exact steps so you can copy-paste or delegate rather than rely on memory.
