Revisited - Systematizing Your Business: The Key to Regaining Your Freedom With Lauren Tickner [The Opportunity Ep.102]

Sometimes, it's an entrepreneur's ability to neutralize their
weaknesses that paves the way to their success.


By prioritizing important tasks and removing themselves from
activities they aren't skilled at or simply don't like,
entrepreneurs can focus their talents on areas of their business
where they can make a measured difference. 


Implementing systems like these helped Lauren Tickner turn her
side hustle as a fitness coach into a 7-figure online
business by the age of 21. 


But Lauren didn't stop there. She realized that the systems she
used to grow her fitness coaching business could be applied to
all industries. 


This revelation inspired her to create Impact School, a 7-figure
coaching company that helps digital entrepreneurs implement
systems that allow them to free up valuable time and scale their
businesses to new heights. 


In this episode, Lauren joins us to discuss the advantages of
systematization, the steps business owners should take to
systematize their business, and how implementing systems has
helped her own business thrive. According to Lauren,


"As a business owner, you have to fill your weaknesses. I became
so systems oriented through my own lack of organization. A big
lesson for me was hiring someone who was my opposite, who could
ensure that those systems were set up. But only by being honest
about my weaknesses was I able to find the right person."


Lauren also sheds some light on the bad industry advice that
entrepreneurs should avoid, how she diversifies her income
streams without succumbing to shiny object syndrome,
and some of the biggest challenges she faced when building
and scaling Impact School.
