@@Regina.Clarke SOP's work effectively for; 1. single-entity businesses not holding company's - the thought processing is on altered levels, and 2. businesses that have a high employee turnover rate to fast-track new hires into the organization - as initially stated by @Regina.Clarke. This is what I've gathered from my experience. And remember @carwoman43, there are different metrics for businesses to 'succeed' - some are profit driven, others are driven to reach a social/environmental goal, others are just a means to an end, and others are to manage other businesses (holding company's). So we can continuously learn and grow as leaders.
Have you ever come across a video and it validates what you're doing with a structured video with all these formal terms? This is it! I am doing this incessantly without realizing that I'm continue building up what I'm establishing. Thank you for the structure! I'll try to re-map my visual engines based on this. 😅
I used to have my own business. Could have used this information back then. Now I continue to work on...myself. These principles can also apply to personal well being and growth. I can visualize it as I type! Thanks. Subscribed.
Amazing thoughts here Ryan! I volunteer with an Global organization and the success of the organization is largely because of these systems already in place. Everyone in the organization work like a well oiled engine both locally and globally as a result! I also love the stickers approach and will be adopting it. Thanks for sharing
Somehow TH-cam’s algorithm did its magic and reached me. I am extremely mesmerised with your process/framework. I sell products (digital) In theory you have to create OPs for: Customer Journey ( how they purchase) Email Automation ( how to increase LTV, grab testimonials etc) How you create/select the product. Am I right or I missing something?
Honestly, thanks so much for this content, I was about to do some analysis at some projects for my Clients and all that the internet offered was over complicated stuff that didn’t really tought me how to prioritize one process over the over. Thanks again!!
At sales unit, we have been looking for a tried and test way to create an SOP for our business, and I think we have found it, I am so sharing this with my team.
Detailed SOPs have their place. I also know that the simplicity of visual flow charts like this can make it much easier for people to understand and actually USE the standardized process (which is the point of creating them). Good content, Ryan!
I just discovered your channel through this video. Case studies are extremely beneficial and I hope to see more in the future! Creating wealth includes developing habits, such as setting aside money on a regular basis for smart investments.
Yes, I do currently practice modest living and prudent money management. My investments have increased by 43% over the past 19 months. But I'm nervous because I've lost money in the last month. I can't decide if I should sell everything now or wait.
Yes true, I learnt that in 2023, when I lost almost everything. But I switched to using a financial advisor and I've been returning at least $98k every month so I’ve been sticking to investing via an Advisor.
This was so insightful! Implementing structured systems has genuinely transformed my business. It reminds me of a risk management technique I recently adopted from a pro crypto trader, which now helps me trade with minimal risk and great returns. What a game-changer!
Building systems for business efficiency is genuinely transformative! Speaking of mechanisms, I've applied a similar system to trading in crypto, inspired by a seasoned trader, which has significantly minimized my risks and enhanced my gains. Cheers to continuous learning and improvement!

Great video, loved it and found it very useful. One note of feedback, I think the sticky note map was very messy and hard to follow, could have made that look a lot nicer and easy to follow.
Implementing these business systems has been a game-changer! It reminds me of a technique I recently learned from a pro trader, which has allowed me to trade crypto with minimal risk and high reward. So grateful for these insights that have transformed both my business and trading approach!
This approach to building systems is pure gold! It reminds me of a strategy I picked up from a seasoned crypto trader, which has helped me trade with low risk and high reward. Running my businesses and trading has never been smoother.
Value chain got off stage and never come back in after you started Value Engine. Is Value Engine a visual representation of Value Chain? I ran the video few times and read the transcripts. I could not find the connection/relationship mentioned between those two values.
This makes over complicated for beginners. Actually SOPs are not checklists, checklists are for Executive level, SOPs are for supervisors and trainers, and flowcharts are for mangers. The objective of the "SYSTEM" should be to clearly state what to do, in which order, by whome and when, plus its objective is also that if an error or malfunction occures we should be capable to locate the responsibility easily. Thats how you create a perfect framework for future teams to empower them take decisions.
Building efficient systems as outlined in this video has been a game-changer for me. Interestingly, a similar structured approach I picked up from a seasoned trader now lets me navigate the crypto market with low risk and high reward. Implementing these strategies feels like having my business run on autopilot!
Building systems for a self-running business is a game-changer! Reminds me of how I started trading crypto with lower risk and high rewards using a strategy I learned from a pro trader I follow. Life feels more sustainable with effective systems in place!
Loved the insights on building systems to streamline business operations! I’ve been applying similar principles in my crypto trading, following a low-risk, high-reward technique I learned from a seasoned trader recently. It’s been game-changing for my investment strategy.
It's honestly a great book. People just take it too far and think that "documenting everything" is the answer to scale. It's a piece of the puzzle but not the entire solution.
Ryan I have been listening to you since Laura Betterly’s Mobile Local Fusion, so I know that you know what you’re talking about! 😊I’m really waiting for you to start selling that invisible selling machine system again!
Did you even watch the video? Incredible value and he never said to stop doing SOPs. He simply said there's a better way to optimize them so they are easier for teams to visualize.
From an ADA standpoint, most businesses need SOPs to accommodate employees with ADHD, Autism, etc. Anything that requires the employee to infer something is not accessible and will increase the risks of errors, burnout and turnover.
I'd argue that flowcharting when done right is much more accessible than any other method. SOPs tend to be big documents where you can't see the holes, can often be abstract and tend not to have the key actions presented in a usable way. With "Deployment Flowcharting" you should have multiple levels of detail in multiple flowcharts. These also need to be living with a method of going about review, development and transition. That ensures it's accessible to the majority of people, but adaptable for those that need it. Also when thinking about a business system with that change control ingrained means that gaps become visible really fast and those can be worked on. So whilst they can't eradicate errors and burnout. They do dramatically and significantly shift from the person to the process and means the focus is then providing a scaffold for people to bring their talent.
This is great! Building systems has helped my business run smoothly even when I focus on other ventures. Recently, I applied a similar method to trading crypto. Using techniques learned from a seasoned trader, my risk is minimized while still finding high rewards. Absolutely game-changing!
However, while this approach offers many benefits, it's important to note that it may not be suitable for all types of businesses or industries. Highly regulated industries, for example, may still require more extensive documentation for compliance purposes.
When most people hear "SOP" they think checklist. I'm simply trying to broaden the definition and add in the piece (process maps) that most people miss.
Good to get the clarification. To me, a flow chart & process map is a key part of an SOP. I valued flow charts before, but when took a Lean 6 sigma course, realised more insights with process mapping & other related topics
@RyanDeissOfficial I think it depends a lot on the sector of work. I work in a laboratory and we use our SOPs every single day as its basically a "do this" guide on every single product we analyse. Ours are digital tho which makes it way easier as you can then search the key term and open the right document right away.
Now you can take all that data you spent a month putting together with your people and scan it into a large language model. Then your people can chat directly to your business as if it were an almost sentient, intelligent being. So don’t be so quick to discount the value of all that data you put together.
Building systems for a self-sustaining business is a game-changer! This reminds me of incorporating strategic techniques into my crypto trading, which I learned from a seasoned pro trader. It's been amazing to manage trades with low risk and high reward efficiently.
Great video Ryan! Can you explain in a next one how to build an operating system on Notion? You used Google Sheets for your CEO Dashboard, Whimsical to the value engines and maybe other tools for other purposes. How do you ensure that the team access every content easily?
@@RyanDeissOfficial I completely agree, that’s why I’m curious to understand your Notion OS! Stays here a suggestion for a video about it. Keep the great work!
This video is a game changer! I used similar principles from a pro trader I follow to develop a crypto trading system that balances low risk with high reward. It’s amazing how foundational systems can transform both business and personal projects.
2:45 I think you may have missed a benefit that your team may have gained from the painful experience of documenting what they do, they actually thought together as a group about what they do collectively. I bet they identified inefficiencies and improved their processes. And in doing so became intimately familiar with the business thus having no need to refer to the documentation they created. That said , if timing is everything, then methodology is everything else, They way you went about it and when you went about it might not have been optimal.
I’m no expert, but this is strikingly similar to what you’d do with mind mapping. Even stranger, I feel..? spinning.? Yes.. spinning..in some kind of spiraling fluid dispensary apparatus, like liquid being moved from one set place into a new home.. it’s almost as though some outside force is herding me like an animal into some centralized network.. like a concentric.. circle..? Concentric circle.. fluid displacement.. predetermined location… buy at the end… hey.!? this is just an SOP on how to mind map a sales funnel… nice try slyther... Generally speaking I frown on wasteful activities, like ruining a white board by using a sharpie.
Great video, and I love the simplicity of the system/flowchart. However, you're fundamentally wrong about SOPs. Your business merely had simple enough processes that you didn't need that much detail. Likely, you have low turnover of staff, too. In a specialised environment (a niche within IT is a big one), SOPs allow things to get done. They are CRUCIAL when it comes to training new employees, and even beneficial to existing ones who haven't used a particular type of software in a while, or haven't come across a certain troubleshooting issue themselves before, but a colleague has. Truth is, you use what's best for your business. The more complex the processes and tasks, the more likely you need an SOP.
I'm not really reframing SOPs, I'm simply distinguishing between process maps (aka Value Engines, Value Chains, etc.) and checklist-style SOPs. In my experience, the former without the latter is unscalable.
So everyone documents what they do and you never look at those documents again? Not even to train a new or replacement hire? Brilliant way to make operations stupid.
So it’s value stream mapping then? 😂😂😂 one of the main purposes of SOPs is to establish a basis for improvement, a tool for onboarding and training, a reference for infrequently carried out processes, ultimately to establish a baseline for your processes that you constantly improve. The framework you outline doesn’t cover any of that. In fact, so far there is no book or framework that properly simplifies this process and makes value adding for the average business. We are currently fixing that! Thanks for the thought process though.
I have never worked for a company that has used SOPs on a daily basis to run the company. Why? Human nature. As employees get more and more comfortable with their jobs, they stop looking at them, and they stop updating them. Most employees don’t feel or understand why they need these tools. Most ignore them after training. Most feel like their way is better than the documented way.
This video was a game-changer for me! Implementing systems has freed up my time significantly. I've recently applied a similar approach to crypto trading, using strategies I learned from a seasoned pro, and it's amazing how it's transformed my risk and reward balance.
Lies. Why use stock images/ footage to relay the story if you really did practically followed the E myths and did everything the book says. You just have to be honest if you dont agree with someone or something say it straight up and dont embellish your way around your opinion on something!!!!!! Take away: put others work down in order to lift yourself even though those people are selling the very same ideologies we're selling. Frankly your book scalable works hand in hand with the E myth. By the way you do need to put SOPs in order to Scale😂
Thank you Ryan! I've been a businessman for years and your content is filling in the empty spaces I have in my capacity as a business leader!
This will be enormously enlightening for businesses who have never heard of automated workflows.
We are RUN-OPS rely heavily on mapping out the sales, fulfilment and customer service processes for our $1M to $10M clients. This is basically how we do it in nutshell.

As soon as you put a checklist, sop, flowchart in a filefolder, it losses all value
A flow chart is a graphical representation of a SOP document. 🙄
The title did its job it made you click lol
This makes me think of the how to draw toast Ted talk.
Great video, and I love the simplicity of the system/flowchart.

I was all in until I noticed he was using a sharpie on a whiteboard.
Who specifically would tell you you need to document everything with checklists and SOPs?
The comment ratio to views is telling. He just reframes SOPs in a format he prefers 5:21
I'm not really reframing SOPs, I'm simply distinguishing between process maps (aka Value Engines, Value Chains, etc.) and checklist-style SOPs.
In my experience, the former without the latter is unscalable.
This is the modern version of a WBS.
So everyone documents what they do and you never look at those documents again? Not even to train a new or replacement hire? Brilliant way to make operations stupid.
I didn't tell that story as a source of pride or recommendation for next steps. I told that story as a lesson of what NOT to do.
Ironically, these explanations seem like a form of SOP.
So it’s value stream mapping then? 😂😂😂 one of the main purposes of SOPs is to establish a basis for improvement, a tool for onboarding and training, a reference for infrequently carried out processes, ultimately to establish a baseline for your processes that you constantly improve.

He lost me at sharpie on a whiteboard
As soon as he said it I thought the same thing and a second later TH-cam cycled your comment to the top of the highlight reel.
I have never worked for a company that has used SOPs on a daily basis to run the company. Why? Human nature. As employees get more and more comfortable with their jobs, they stop looking at them, and they stop updating them. Most employees don’t feel or understand why they need these tools. Most ignore them after training. Most feel like their way is better than the documented way.
This video was a game-changer for me! Implementing systems has freed up my time significantly. I've recently applied a similar approach to crypto trading, using strategies I learned from a seasoned pro, and it's amazing how it's transformed my risk and reward balance.

I created an SOP to stop SOPs
Woah
Where is my credit card
Boring, generic, badly paced, clickbait, belittling to the audience. 6 mins in with no value delivered
Lies. Why use stock images/ footage to relay the story if you really did practically followed the E myths and did everything the book says.
You just have to be honest if you dont agree with someone or something say it straight up and dont embellish your way around your opinion on something!!!!!!
Take away: put others work down in order to lift yourself even though those people are selling the very same ideologies we're selling.
Frankly your book scalable works hand in hand with the E myth.
By the way you do need to put SOPs in order to Scale😂
You sir simply don’t understand the difference between a process and a procedure, that’s what this is all about.
Reporting video for clickbait do better
