As we get to the end of this course, we've talked about process capture process visualization, process storytelling, why it's important increasing transparency. We've talked about a lot at a pretty high level. I'm going to summarize by focusing again on why this is important for solopreneurs. Why as a solopreneur, that you want to use process visualization. Why do you want to engage in process storytelling and what's the value to you? So in this slide, you get to see a few points, I'm going to speak to them briefly because they're, they're quite broad, but definitely something that you should internalize if you're starting your business, or you're going from a freelancer, to, you know, maybe a bigger agency, or you want to go from an entrepreneur to a CEO, and generally free up some of your time.

These are all things that require automation, scaling, and sustainable and profitable growth strategies. And that's really at the core of what process management is. So the first point here is optimizing how you spend your time For a solopreneur How does process storytelling help you? Well, if I told you tell me how you could better spend your time, and you can't really tell me how you're spending your time now, we already have a pretty big gap. Don't wait. And that's the the, the tricky thing, right?

If you if you as a solopreneur, and I've been there, because when I started the agency myself, if you think that you could tell everyone on a dime, what you do at your company, or what your processes are, or what the steps are just because you do them every day, you must not be talking to people enough, because it's actually very, very difficult. And if you can't do that conversation, if you can't have that process, somewhere documented, where you can say where your time's going, you're never going to be able to manage or optimize it. And then the next big point is we've referenced it several times through the presentation. It's about outsourcing. It's about delegating, and that's the nature of scaling. How do you take what you do today, maybe you spend 60 hours a week doing stuff and you need to free up 20 hours.

So you can do more creative things, or you can start doing business strategy. Well, you need to take those 20 hours of activities that are being done today and move it to somebody else or move it to a machine, which would be automating your process in some way, moving what you do to a lower cost resource, whether it be a robot, or a virtual assistant, or be a junior person who you want to shadow or apprentice you. But either way, you cannot pull apart piece of your own process and move it to somebody else if you don't know how that's gonna impact your process system, if you don't know your process story. So again, process storytelling is critical first step if you're going to start moving in that direction, and reducing costs and increasing profits. This obviously is a very general and it's a catch all.

But again, if you don't know what changes to make, because you don't know your baseline, it is going to be impossible to do these activities. This all falls under the process management umbrella. And without process communication without process storytelling, there can be no Process Management. This last piece then We're going to talk about a little tips to follow up on what I was just talking about. How do you engage in process storytelling activities as a solopreneur? So if you're going to take this and you're going to start doing the class project after this, you got to think first of all, we talked about which processes the most relevant to me, which processes Do you Intuit are generating your revenue, so which activities are helping with revenue creation.

And then also, you're going to have to start writing it down, you have to start writing it down somehow, or capturing it into a process asset. This is the path you're taking. So these tips are for you to start knowing how it's going to feel as a solopreneur, specifically, which is write out questions, speak the answers out loud, maybe record them and hear yourself speaking. This is going to help you understand that this is an interview with yourself. And a lot of times if you don't go through the interview techniques I've been given to in this training, to say here's the five W's what is the information what is the order? What is the sequence It's gonna be tough for you, or it might be kind of intimidating to get started on this.

So definitely encourage you to do that and get external feedback. The point across the storytelling again is that it's a universal language that it's clear to understand it's a clear reference guide. So get external feedback. Get your mom to help get your brother to help get anyone off the street. Anyone you feel comfortable sharing your business information with, have them read your process visualizations, have them read your process maps and say, Does this make sense? Does this hold together?

Does this process story seem like a real story? That's how you're going to know that you're getting the hang of it. And then you can start sharing that with not just strangers, but people you're delegating tasks to or you're starting to have you help manage your processes. So that's it. That's the tips that apply directly to solopreneurs. And that kind of ends the conversation on how you go through process storytelling end to end
