The Remote CEO Life Podcast Operational Efficiency 101 Make Your Business Run Without You With Automations And Systems

SHARE THIS POST:

What if your business could run without you? Operational efficiency (aka creating systems, automations and hiring a VA) might just be the secret weapon that frees your time, scales your growth, and brings back your sanity in your online business.

In this episode of The Remote CEO Life, I chat with business operations expert Emily Hatton to explore how online business owners can create operational efficiency through smart automation and systems. We talk about real founder mistakes when hiring a VA, systems that save hours, and the mindset shifts needed to finally step away from the day-to-day chaos.

You’ll learn:

– The difference between being busy and being effective
– Why automating your business is non-negotiable for growth
– How to create systems that support your freedom
– The most common bottlenecks in business operations
– When and what to delegate when hiring a VA (and when not to)

If you're ready to achieve operational efficiency in your online business, automate the right tasks, and run a business that doesn't run you, this episode is a must-listen.

I'm Sophie

Online business coach, podcast host, mental health advocate, speaker, founder of TINAH, community builder, full-time digital nomad, and general trailblazing, rule breaker…

I tried to live a “normal” life: I spent 11+ years working my way up in the fashion industry, working for brands like Ralph Lauren and Burberry. I had the apartment in the city, I lived for going out at the weekends, spent money on designer bags and holidays – until I realized this lifestyle DID NOT FULFIL MEI was waking up with anxiety every day – surviving, but definitely not thriving.

So I quit. I left my 9-to-5 behind to start an online business that supported the lifestyle I actually wanted. Now that looks like slow mornings, daily beach walks, co-working with like-minded entrepreneurs, yoga, meditation, and lots of social connections.

Since 2020, I’ve built multiple online business offers – from online business coaching and consulting to online courses, digital products, and a mental health marketplace – all while travelling the world and living life, and earning money on my own terms.

Now… I’m on a mission to help more people break free from lives that don’t feel good for them and create more freedom through starting and growing an online business.
