I'm burning it all down ๐Ÿ”ฅ PART 2 (what-are-supporting-materials-and-how-do-I-get-them)


I'm refining my offer to focus on what I do best: designing and building systems that support your client journey.
โ€‹

As part of this process, I'm REBUILDING all of the systems that make it possible โ€“ and you're coming along for the ride!

Last week, I shared the first step: Process Mapping. If you missed it, you can catch up here: BTS: Burning It All Down.

Now, let's dive into Step 2: GATHERING SUPPORTING MATERIALS.

Supporting materials are the building blocks of any system: email templates, forms, questionnaires, SOPs, scheduler links โ€“ anything needed to bring your process to life.

Sometimes I create these materials for my clients, sometimes they provide them, and often we collaborate.

I'm always looking for the best process for collecting these from my clients.

Cuz that's what I do - I make your work easy for you and easy for your clients. So obvs, I'm making things easy for MY clients, too!

โ€‹
โ€‹And I've finally done it - Iโ€™ve found a streamlined way to gather these materials using Airtable.

::applause::

โ€‹
Hereโ€™s how it works
(skip to the end to see this in video form):

โ€‹
After the Process Mapping session, I take the visual process map we created together.

I input that into Airtable as a roadmap to guide the build.

โ€‹
โ€‹

Airtable then generates organized lists of all the supporting materials needed.

Finally, my system automatically emails you with the list, sending reminders until everything is provided.

This is an essential part of my philosophy when building systems: ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜† ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ.

"One leg of my desk is shorter than the others and every day for the past fifteen years I've meant to wedge something under it, but every day my work is too urgentโ€”I'm perpetually at a crucial turning point; everything is forever about to be revealed." I spent the entirety of my recent 7+ hour flight from Portland to NYC reading Miranda July's latest book "All Fours." (If you are into weird-girl-lit and haven't read any Miranda July - sprint to your nearest library!) I love the way Miranda's...

A break from our regularly scheduled programming, to gush about all of the IN PERSON biz bestie hangs I had last week <3 I felt so much community and care, experienced so much joy just talking shop with other business owners, and had a few big โ€œAHAโ€ moments that will have a major impact on how I run my business. I am a virtual coffee chat queen, but there is something so different about being with each other in person. I started the day having breakfast with Jac White. I am REALLY excited...

Last week, I wrote an article ROASTING Monday.com. I received several responses by email and LinkedIn that validated my theories and claims ๐Ÿ˜Ž I also received a few emails like this one, asking me what project management tool I DO recommend: FAIR. The unsatisfying answer: it depends. (You knew I was going to say that, huh?) Like all tools, it depends on a ton of factors, like: The size of your team The type of work you do Your budget Your goals And honestly, your vibes. BUT I won't leave a pal...
