The Joyful Systems Framework

Welcome to Joyful Systems

Joyful Systems is my approach to systems. It’s the backbone of how I approach (and teach) systems that help you align your business for more rest, less stress, and more joy.
Here’s my framework: 

1. Freeing up brain space and gaining awareness.  We do this by documenting the steps of our business processes. 

2. Getting into alignment and seeing the connectedness of steps, processes, and systems. Everything we do in life is interconnected. The systems in your business will either drain you or fill you up.  My systems approach is different than what you may have encountered before. I’m all about efficiency but I’m also all about joy.

Once you’ve documented the steps in a process (this is awareness), you can then adjust steps based on how they align with your lifestyle and business goals.

After that, you can then streamline your steps so you have a clear, repeatable path for efficiency and joy. 

3. Observing, monitoring, and assessing.  Joyful systemizing is an ongoing process of flow, growth, and realignment.

My Framework is a hybrid of 3 overarching concepts:

  1. Business Systems
  2. Systems-thinking
  3. Nature’s systems

My philosophy around systems, speed, and efficiency

Business is a mix of fast and slow.

Most of your business’ high-level decisions and strategies are to be made through the lens of patience. Take the time needed to make sound decisions, allow things to emerge and grow (including your audience).  I’ve learned this the hard way over the years and I still struggle with this often. Many of us do. I have to keep reminding myself it’s okay for things to progress at a steady pace. 

But…

Your daily repeatable steps and processes must be refined so that you can do most steps as efficiently as possible (this is where/how you save time and energy and earn more). 

Here’s a visual representation of my framework (ZOOM in as needed)

 

Here are a few articles that show you how to apply this framework to your business to earn more and save time:
