Summary I find this effective because as the business grows, you want to hire other people to do the things you don’t want to do. Therefore, if you systematize it, you can simply hand the instructions over to the next hire. The best way to do this is first to quantify anything that can be quantified. Even something completely subjective can be quantified if you ask the person to give it a 1-5 rating. Then create a checklist of all tasks that must be accomplished on a regular basis (daily, weekly, monthly, etc). Finally, document this as a manual and keep updating it as your business changes.
