From Chaos to Clarity

SOPs That Make Your Business Run Without You

This 45-minute workshop is for business owners who feel like they are the system—everything lives in their head, their team depends on them for every answer, and stepping away isn’t really an option. Together, we’ll uncover the real cost of that chaos, identify your Top 5 must-have SOPs, and walk through a simple, one-page SOP template that any small business can use.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Spot the real cost of chaos

    • Recognize how “everything living in your head” shows up as rework, mistakes, constant questions, and mental overload.

    • Put a rough time and dollar amount to what that chaos is costing you each week.

  • See the difference between winging it and working a process

    • Understand why informal, verbal “this is how we do it” breaks down as you grow.

    • Learn what it looks like when a process is clear, repeatable, and not dependent on you.

  • Identify your Top 5 high-impact SOPs

    • Scan your business across clients, money, team, and operations.

    • Choose the five processes that would make the biggest difference if they were clearly documented and followed.

  • Use a simple, one-page SOP template

    • Learn the key elements of a small-business-friendly SOP: Name, Purpose, When It’s Used, Owner, Tools, Steps, and “Done Right.”

    • See how to keep SOPs short, clear, and actually usable, no corporate binders required.

  • Decide what to delegate, automate, or delete

    • Evaluate which tasks truly need you, which can go to a person, which can be handled by a tool, and which don’t need to happen at all.

  • Build a realistic 30-day systems plan

    • Learn a simple, sustainable way to keep building SOPs without turning it into a massive, overwhelming project.

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of the workshop, you will walk away with:

  1. 1. A clear picture of your “cost of chaos”

    • A quick estimate of how much time and money you’re losing to rework, confusion, and repeated explanations.

  2. 2. Your personal Top 5 SOP list

    • Five specific processes that are now your highest-priority systems to document.

  4. 3. One “good enough to use” SOP drafted

    • A completed one-page SOP for a real process in your business that you can hand to a team member or refine further immediately.

  6. 4. A Delegate / Automate / Delete decision

    • One concrete task you’ve committed to either delegating, automating, or deleting in the next 7 days.

  8. 5. A 30-Day Systems Plan

    • The next three SOPs you’ll create,

    • When you will work on them each week, and

    • Who can help you build and implement them.

  10. 6. A repeatable framework you can use again and again

    • A simple way to turn “I’m tired of doing this” into a documented process,

    • So over time your business runs more on systems and less on you.
