Chris Ronzio on Investing in the Systems of Your Business

Converge: The Business of Creativity Podcast with Dane Sanders

Time

Many entrepreneurs always find themselves plugged in with no way to disconnect. For some, they want to look at their business and say I owned this business not work for it. For others, they simply want more freedom within their work at their business. No matter which category you fall into, Trainual can help you make the best use of your time within business.

What does Trainual do?

The step between you doing something yourself and delegating it to someone else to grow your business is being able to document, write down, and provide the instructions of what you do. Trainual is a system that helps you do this with adaptability to your type of business and what your business does.

You may be saying that you don't know how to do this or that you don't have time, but the invested time now will save you time and grow your business long term. Is everything that you're doing now truly the best use of your time? Do you and your employees daily tasks align with your respective job descriptions? Do you find yourself constantly putting out fires without being able to even identify why these problems happen? Investing into your systems can be influential in saving time for yourself and growing your business.
