  • In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Aimee Accinno, a systems nerd and “systemologist,” who shares valuable insights on how to systemize your business using SYSTEMology. Listen in as Amy explains the seven-step process that simplifies the creation of business systems and how this method can help you extract knowledge from team members, organize it into a central location, and reduce resistance.

    We also tackled some common myths about business systems, such as the belief that business owners need to create systems themselves when, in fact, team members can be the best people to take charge. Additionally, we covered the misunderstanding that hundreds of systems need to be created in order to have a systemized business. Lastly, we talked about the importance of buy-in when creating systems and how a SYSTEMology can help ensure successful onboarding and ramp-up processes.

  • Everyone is born a blank slate. Not one person is born with specific beliefs or mindsets. Our parents and families instill them in us as we grow up. Generally, around seven years old, we are already heavily programmed to be similar to those around us. Then, we spend the rest of our lives reprogramming ourselves into who we want to be.

    In this episode, Jim has a conversation with his good friend, Sean Osborn. Sean is a technology entrepreneur who uses technology to get people to their goals faster. As a mindset strategist and coach, Sean specializes in getting people to the next level. After building and selling successful IT systems, he learned that people are not that different from technology. He then built the YouOS framework – a blueprint for programming success in your life.

    Listen in to get motivated and learn how you can get to your goals faster.

    In this episode, you will hear about:

    What Sean’s YouOS is How Sean came up with his mindset model The similarities between technology and humans Being purposeful in our reprogramming The science behind our programming Programming ourselves through visualization The conscious vs. subconscious mind
