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.
