Hello, everyone! Welcome to your business accelerated. I am your host, attorney, Shaune B. Arnold, and I am so excited to be back with you. Today, we are going to talk about replicating and duplicating yourself, your business, your processes, all sorts of things in order to explode your revenue potential in your business.

If you find yourself constantly reinventing the wheel and struggling to find an easier way to get things done, you have definitely come to the right place this evening. But first, before we get started, I want to do some housekeeping matters that we always do here on Your Business Accelerated.

I'm a practicing California business attorney, located in Los Angeles. I've been here for about 30 years doing exactly that, and so to the extent that we cover legal issues here on your business accelerated, you need to understand that I am a California business attorney, and so anything that I say to you that is legally oriented is going to be with that bent, with that California legal understanding. If you live someplace else, I invite you to take what I say to an attorney in your jurisdiction, just to make sure there's no difference in the law where I live and where you live.

I also invite you to listen to my other podcast, LegalBiz Café. See, right here on your business accelerated, we deal with those hardcore legal and business issues that get you stuck and get you just you feel like your engine just dies on the highway of entrepreneurship. We get you jump started and going. Over there on legal biz cafe, we deal with your mindset and see these are the issues that can also stop you right in the middle of the road, either you're behind the wheel or your road kill, either way, it's not good.

When you get your business accelerated and you get legal biz Cafe under your belt each week, you're getting two sides of a very valuable coin. It's an entrepreneurial coin that you can spend over and over again on yourself and in your business, and that is going to put you a long way towards making your dreams come true.

So, let's get started tonight. If you do find yourself reinventing that wheel, if you are struggling to find an easier way, let's talk about replicating and duplicating yourself and your business to explode your revenue potential. And when I say replicating yourself. I'm not talking about actually cloning yourself. That would be nice. But no, it's not that easy. I'm talking about outsourcing as much of your business and your personal life as you possibly can. Get somebody to help you clean the house, somebody to help you with childcare, somebody to help you in your business, and with the administration.

Are you still creating your own sales pages? Come on. You have to start outsourcing some of that stuff. You're a control freak, just like I am. I can tell. But when it comes to marketing your business, when it comes to some of those systems in your business, you can create set-them-and-forget-them processes. And once you learn how to do these things, you set those processes and then you turn them over to somebody else to actually manage and maintain.

That allows you to get up to the 34,000 foot level and actually fly the plane instead of being in the back serving drinks and cleaning out cup holders and helping people get to the bathroom and quieting down fussy children and all those things that our in the air servers do so beautifully. But have you ever tried to serve the drinks and fly the plane at the same time? Not an easy thing to do. So outsourcing is key. I know. I can hear your scream from here.

I don't have the money. Everybody has that same scream. I hear you. None of us have that money. But here's what I want you to think, number one, anything that you are outsourcing is going to come back to you as revenue. So, anything that you are giving to someone, you're paying somebody to market for you or to do your sales.

And if they are doing your it, then they're setting up your sales pages, and you're they're helping you manage your database and create your email drip campaigns and all the things that we've been talking about over the last year on your business accelerators. You're getting all of those things put into place so that when they finish their work, you are actually making money from their work, and so that makes it worth it to you to spend that money.

And you're still saying, I don't have the money. I can hear you. This is what I want you to do to soothe yourself. I want you to calculate how much money you will make from those money-making ventures that you're outsourcing, and then I want you to subtract what you're going to pay in order to outsource those things.

And if you don't know what you're going to pay, you can test some ads, and see who responds to them. If nobody responds, then you not paying enough. If too many people respond, then you pay too much. So find something sort of in the middle, and then get yourself a good idea of how much money you're going to be making from those money making ventures, and that should satisfy you that it's worth it for you to forgo a couple of Starbucks lattes a week or a month, however many you do, and give that money instead to somebody who's going to help you produce some cash in your business.

And I can still hear you saying, but I don't have money. Okay, here's what I want you to do while they work on those money making ventures for you, I want you to go out into the marketplace and produce cash at the same time that they are working. So if somebody is working for you three hours a day, and you're paying them $18, $19, or $20 an hour, whatever you're paying them, then while they are working for you, and you know that you've got that three hour cash outlay deficit going in your world, then you need to be filling that deficit with money. So get out there and make yourself some appointments and close some deals.

Get your referral systems going, actually do some collections. So many of us just let bills go unpaid. There are a lot of things that you could be doing to actually bring the cash in while that person is working, and that will help you feel a little bit better about replicating yourself in your business. Now, once you have replicated yourself in your business, I want you to think about replicating your business processes.

Start with the business model itself. If you are new in business, if you are in MLM, in multi level marketing, if you have a franchise, if you have a business that has been done before in the marketplace. I know you've heard me say, be unique, but when you are first starting out, I encourage you to take a look around the marketplace and find out what other people are doing, because that will give you an idea of the bells and whistles that should be in your business and on your website. So do your research, look at your competition, find out what they're doing, and then add your twist to it. What is missing in what they're doing? What are they doing poorly? How are they not serving the marketplace? That's your opportunity to jump into the marketplace.

So, as you look at the competition and you get an. Idea of what you should be doing and what you shouldn't be doing. This is going to get you unstuck. This is going to give you ideas for your products and for your services. This is going to tell you how you should be pricing your products and your services, and this is going to give you some ideas on strategies for how to offer your products and your services to the marketplace.

For example, do you need to repackage what you're offering? If you offer one and one and one and one of several different things? Can you combine them and then drop the price on that combined total so that there you're actually giving a discount to the marketplace. And it doesn't matter that you're giving a discount, because you're actually selling three items where usually you would sell one.

So, think about that.

Think about repackaging things, because that helps you, that helps you clone yourself as a salesperson, because now people are selling themselves, and as you look around at your competition, and you see all the things that that are being done out in the marketplace, and you figure out what's missing, then blend the best of what is being done with what you figured out that's missing in the marketplace, and there is your winning business model.

Now that you have that winning business model, you want to replicate and duplicate your internal processes in that business model. So that you can get a business model that is franchisable, a business model where you can literally go across town and open another business that's just the same, and it runs just the same, and it looks just the same. So as you are looking into your business processes, I want you to think about your branding right up front, your look and your feel, because you're going to need to replicate and duplicate that look and feel if you have a brick and mortar business as you move across town, and if you are online, then you want to think about replicating that look and feel across your website.

I want you to think about outsourcing replicable things as quickly as you possibly could. But I also want you to think in terms of creating best practices, and we're going to talk a little bit more about that. In other words, create a binder for those daily practices that you do and how are they done, so that if your secretary is absent, you can bring in a temp, and you could just give them the book, and they can run the secretary's desk, and your business doesn't have to stop because one person is missing. So set up those daily tasks, create your books on how those things are done, what the processes are, and then outsource them as quickly as you can to either a virtual assistant or an on ground assistant or to a consultant. I also want you to think about using mastermind groups. You want to get unique and fresh perspectives.

Finally, I want to talk to you about setting up best practices for each of your processes, for each of your positions, your CEO position, your CFO position, the Secretary, the sales person, the delivery person, whoever it is, There are things that they must do in order to carry out their job. What are those best practices for your marketers? For everybody? What are those best practices? 

Write them down and put them in a book, put them in a series of books so that you can hand that information out, and your training of your team members just got shorter and a lot less expensive. So those are the tips that I have for you this evening on how to replicate and duplicate to explode your revenue potential in your business.
