As a programmer I’m very familiar with giving step-by-step instructions.  I need to be able to think on a very granular level when giving instructions to a computer using a programming language.

As with a computer program, any “job” can also be modularized.  In fact, the Content Spooling Network ghostwriting process is so modularized that an average of 98 people work on each full-service ghostwritten article.

Even so, it has been a big shift to start applying this type of thinking to my business procedures.  Yet this is the very type of thinking that is required to enable me to outsource the day-to-day details of running my business.

A business mentor of mine recently confirmed a thought I’ve had for a while now.

Here what I asked him…

“Sometimes when I set out to record a new procedure, it ends up much
more complicated than I’d imagined.  Such as setting up a new website.
There is just so much involved — from buying the domain name to setting
up hosting, to adding an email account, to uploading the site.  And some
of the items require passwords and/or credit card info.

Even though all the above can be completed in one sitting, so they
qualify as a “procedure” by your definition, the tasks are very
different and require different skill sets and levels of trust (such as
handling credit card info).”

Here was his response…

“There is no such thing as a different skill set.  If your procedures are
well documented, a 10 year old child with no skill sets can perform them.
I also require that all human resources be excellent writers (6th grade
level or better) and be proficient in the English language.

The credit card issue does require different resources.  So you break your
procedure at that point.”

So, my “setting up a website” job in the end will encompass a hundred plus distinct tasks in a few separate procedures.

How 235 Steps Can Become 1…

In programming as in life, any number of distinct steps can be bundled up into a procedure.  Once all the steps are defined, you can simply perform one step to get them done.  That one step would be something like, “Click button to have Chris do my article marketing for me”.

I’m sure it would be ideal if you could just hand such a huge task of to someone else and didn’t have to get bogged down in any of the details whatsoever.

Well, this week I’m going to be offering a special on such a service to you for this one very critical job for which I’ve already developed thorough procedures within trusted system.

I’ve even got the human resources to do most all the work!
