Over on the Legal Ease Blog, Allison Shields has a great post (as usual) about creating systems for a law practice. I’m a big fan fan of creating business systems. It’s what I’ve been doing most of my career – first as a CPA, then a custom software developer, and now as a Duct Tape Marketing coach. I’ve had a chance to see first hand how that having established business systems gives owners more time to focus on things they really like to do and that provide the most value to their customers. Here are two of my favorite points from Allison’s post:

"Put it in writing – virtual plans are virtually useless."

"Once your systems and procedures are in place, don’t forget to test and revisit them from time to time to ensure that they remain valuable to both you and your clients."

Even if you are not a lawyer, take a look at this post about getting started on your business systems and get started on your systems today.
