When we talk about processes, it’s essential to understand that our people drive them. 👥🔄

The right people will collaborate across departments to create and enhance processes that streamline, automate, and boost efficiency.

But remember, these processes must align with your company’s mission.

For example, if you outsource fulfillment, ensure the external company shares your values, especially if sustainability is a key focus. ♻️

If they don't meet your standards, reconsider.

Every process should echo your company's mission.

This principle holds true across all aspects of your business, including your people, processes, and tech tools.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s discussion on tech and tools! 🛠️

I'm not a rapper, but Dilated Peoples sure are awesome. 🎤

They have a song that goes, 'Worst comes to worst, my people come first.'

This is absolutely critical in all aspects of business, especially when you're building your systems.

People come first. 👥

If you look back a few days, I posted a Venn diagram illustrating the synergy of People, Process, and Tech and Tools.
It all starts with people, but you need all three working together towards your common mission.

When everyone's dialed into your mission, you'll achieve remarkable success. 🌟

It's not just about having any people—it's about having good people who believe in the mission and are working in their area of genius.

For those new here, the area of genius is where individuals love what they're doing, are energized by it, and can be the best in the world at it.

When you align these individuals with your mission, amazing things happen.

So, remember what Dilated Peoples said, 'Worst comes to worst, your people come first.'

But let's flip that—better comes to better, your people are everything.

I've talked before about the importance of employee belief over buy-in.

Here's the deal: you don't need your team to simply buy into your mission; you need them to believe in it.

Buy-in is like lust—fleeting and easily swayed. 💔

Belief, however, is like love—deep-seated and unwavering. ❤️

When your team believes in your company's mission, no one can persuade them otherwise.

This isn't about sipping the Kool-Aid; it's about embracing a truth that binds your team together for the long haul.

Consider this: buy-in can be persuaded, like convincing your kids to go to a fancy restaurant when they really want McDonald's. 🍔

Belief, on the other hand, is rooted in a deep-seated truth that aligns with long-term goals.

When your team shares a common belief, they are united and driven, ready to move mountains together. 🏔️

So, focus on cultivating belief within your team—it's the foundation for lasting success. 🌟
