In this episode, we sat down with the B.O.S.S, Business Operations System Specialist more affectionately known as Auntee Rik. Rik shared her wealth of knowledge in business spanning over 3 decades, in the arena of systems, automation and workflows. Her mission is simple: create the processes you need to give you a sense of control, prepare for scaling and avoid burnout. As business owners and freelancers we can feel pressured to take every opportunity out of fear of missing the next best thing. That energy of confusion zaps you of the energy you need to show up and robs you of success because you can't handle the increase of business.
