🍪 Ready to perfect your business operations like a pro baker perfects their chocolate chip cookies? In her latest blog post, Trusty Oak Success Team member Lauren Lea Warren shares why Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are your recipe for success. Just like a reliable cookie recipe ensures sweet results every time, SOPs help businesses maintain consistency, efficiency, and quality in their daily operations. SOPs are essential for smooth transitions, effective training, and flawless execution of recurring tasks. They ensure everyone on your team knows exactly what steps to follow, making success a consistent outcome rather than a gamble. Our Trusty Oak team has put together some handy SOP templates for your business, including General Process SOPs, Sales Process SOPs, and Hiring Process SOPs.

🌸 Flower Picking Joys and the Freedom to Enjoy Them 🌸 This weekend, I had the pleasure of spending time at a local farm market, indulging in the simple yet profound joy of flower picking. There's something truly special about being surrounded by nature, selecting vibrant blooms, and creating a bouquet that’s uniquely yours. It’s an activity that brings so much joy, whether you’re with a partner, family, kiddos, or friends. It got me thinking about how precious these moments are—moments where we can slow down, connect with loved ones, and appreciate the beauty around us. But as solopreneurs and small business owners, how often do we find ourselves too caught up in the daily grind to take this time for ourselves? This experience reminded me of the power of delegation. When we choose to delegate, we aren’t just offloading tasks—we’re reclaiming time. Time to do the things that nourish our souls, like picking flowers, exploring new places, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with loved ones. What would you do with your reclaimed time? #delegation #smallbusiness #worklifebalance #joyinthejourney #empowerment

Amber L. Gray giving some helpful insight on how to know it's time to delegate! Give it a read!
Effective delegation requires us to overcome some biases and fears when we are first starting out. So, how do you start delegating effectively? ⏳ 1. Audit your time. Use time-tracking software such as Toggl Track for two weeks or my Time Audit Worksheet. (I'll drop in the comments.) Elevating awareness of your time and energy is the first step to identifying tasks for delegation. 🏃🏽♀️ If there is a task you hear yourself saying, “It’s faster if I do it myself,” use that as a signal that you probably need to delegate that task! This phrase masks a deeper internal resistance to delegation. We wear all the hats when we start our business, but we have to take some off in order to grow. 🧑🏽🎓 Become a student of delegation best practices. Delegation doesn’t come naturally to most of us, but we can grow our delegation skills. Take our short quiz to learn your delegation style and receive a customized report. You’ll also be offered a free 1:1 delegation coaching call with either me or Bex Howell on my team. Go to trustyoak.com/quiz to take the quiz! #delegationtips #learntodelegate 📸: Femforce Austin
