“I can’t delegate this; it’s too complex.” “It’s faster to just do it myself than to explain it.”
Every expert solopreneur has said these words. They feel true, but they are the bars of a cage you’ve built for yourself. The belief that your ‘genius’ cannot be systematized is the single biggest blocker to scaling.
The key is to understand that you’re not trying to create a robot that replaces you. You’re creating a playbook that your systems (or future delegates) can run. The process is simple but powerful:
- Observe: For one week, notice the repetitive decisions you make.
- Document: After making an expert decision, take 3 minutes to write down the “why” behind it. What was the context? What was the principle?
- Systematize: Turn that principle into a rule. “If a lead asks for a discount, we respond with this email.” “When a project moves to the ‘Review’ phase, we send this update.”
Your genius isn’t a magical, unexplainable force. It’s a series of high-quality decisions based on experience. And any decision-making process can be documented and, eventually, automated.
This process is the core philosophy behind our systems. To see it in action, download the free AI Automation Playbook and get three pre-built systems designed to automate your genius.
