Systems That Stick: How to Create SOPs That Actually Work

Season 1 | Episode 10

Tired of repeating yourself or digging through messy folders? In this episode, Jen breaks down how to create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that actually help your business run smoother. She shares the must-have components of a solid SOP, gives a real-life example of how her team at Raney Day Design uses one to keep projects organized, and reminds you that structure isn’t stifling—it’s spiritual.

Whether you’re solo or scaling a team, you’ll walk away with the tools and confidence to create your first (or next) SOP.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why SOPs save your sanity (and your business)
  • The 7 core components every SOP should include
  • A peek inside our RDD folder structure SOP
  • How to document a process in a way your team can follow—and actually use
  • Why creating systems is a form of stewardship, not control
