Stress Proofing Your Operations

In the Harmonizing Success podcast, host Litra Simms discusses the importance and process of stress-proofing business operations, focusing on creating smooth and efficient workflows. Simms suggests key steps that include identifying sticking points, standardizing essential processes, automating simple tasks, creating backup plans for potential setbacks, and performing a weekly review of operations. She emphasizes that business stress often arises when operations heavily rely on memory, speed, or constant problem-solving and believes that robust and well-devised operational systems can help mitigate such stress. Simms wraps up the episode encouraging listeners to identify and strengthen one weak point in their operations as a means to maintain long-term stability.
