In this episode of System Saved Me®, Mary Gonzalez is back to share why relying on superstar employees isn’t the key to scaling—systems are. She explains how strong processes ensure consistent results, even when team members change, reducing stress and increasing efficiency. Mary breaks down how to create foolproof systems, including clear steps, visuals, and automation tools, so tasks can be completed the same way every time. She also challenges business owners to document at least one system this week to experience the freedom that comes with better workflows.
