But most people never build any.

My 6 critical solopreneur systems (and how I built them):

1/ Knowledge Management System

Everything you know or need to reference should be stored in one place.

I use @NotionHQ as my personal knowledge management system:

- Business plan
- Weekly to-do
- Course roadmap
- Business workflow
- Process documents

All in one place.

2/ Time Blocking System

GCal + Calendly makes sure I never book something in the wrong spot.

- Mornings: Workout & Engagement on Social
- Early afternoon: Creativity and writing
- Late afternoon: Meetings & projects

I set up custom availability for everything.

3/ Content Creation System

I use a 4-step content creation system to produce rapidly:

- Step 1: Curate
- Step 2: Create
- Step 3: Templatize
- Step 4: Distribute

I use a combination of @TwemexApp + @SaveToNotion + @hypefury to execute the plan.

4/ Content Promotion System

If you write once, you should promote twice.

Part of my 2023 plan is to continue building a best-in-class promotion system for my business.

I'm going to start by following this one from @harrydry at MarketingExamples: marketingexamples.com/content/sharing

5/ Networking System

Keeping up with people isn't easy.

Sure, my best friends & I talk weekly.

But I want to touch base (and support) others I've gotten to know. So, I created a quarterly reminder.

Every 13 weeks, I reach out to 20+ people to see if I can help in some way.

6/ Virtual Assistant System

12 months ago, I brought on VA to help reduce noise during my weekday.

She's been absolutely amazing and saved me nearly 40 hours per month.

Here's our system for working together:

And that's a wrap.

Shoutout to @JamesClear for the inspiration.
