Breaking the System: Why Processes Matter

Send us a text

"Breaking the System: Why Processes Matter" explores the transformative power of well-designed business processes through the candid lens of a father-daughter business team. When Paul initially built his accountancy practice, everything remained locked in his head - a common entrepreneurial trap that creates an invisible ceiling on growth. Enter Jade, who implemented systematic processes that helped triple the business.

The episode reveals how proper processes aren't just about organisation but serve as the foundation for sustainable scaling. Through personal anecdotes and hard-earned wisdom, Jade and Paul discuss how implementing their 85-step onboarding process ensures nothing falls through the cracks - from technical requirements to sending new clients celebration cake. They share how technology tools like Carbon, Asana, and Loom support their systems while emphasising that processes should remain flexible enough to adapt to unique situations and evolving business needs.

What makes this conversation particularly relatable is Paul's honest admission of sometimes avoiding the very processes Jade implements - a dynamic many business partnerships will recognise. Their playful banter illuminates a crucial truth: even the most process-resistant entrepreneurs eventually see the value in systems that create consistency, reduce stress, and enable growth. Whether you're just starting out or looking to break through a growth plateau, this episode provides practical insights on creating processes that support rather than suffocate your business vision.
