So about to have a barbecue and I thought I'd get my chair out, sit in front of Chuck the truck, I love that name and talk to you about having an O for your business. Now we all know project management tools. There's Asana, there's click up, there's obviously Basecamp, something I deal with. And they're great as a project management tool. However, not all of them are great to be able to create an O for your business now. What I mean by an O for your business is having everything. Within one place. So there's a single source of truth, truth for everything you know. For instance, documentation, SOP, any kind of documentation that the company needs, that people in the company need is actually all in one place. Now, in the past, what people used to do is use Google Docs, and I don't use Google at all, apart from YouTube. You would have a Google Doc and then you would link it, send it via e-mail, but you don't know. Where that dock is, unless you ask someone for instance, whereas having an OS for your business, having one of these tools, obviously Basecamp. As an O for your business means that you would have a base camp. A project in basecamp is called a basecamp. Having a basecamp called HQ and everything company wide communication is in there. Companywide Sops are in the document folder. Companywide message board for instance is in their company wide. Everything is in that one HQ so people don't have to ask. So when you. Onboarding a new. Employee, for instance, you would basically say go to the HQ, you would point them where to where it is and they don't have to download anything. They don't have to ask for a link for anything. It's all in that one basecamp called HQ within your Basecamp app. Other tools aren't as great. Some of them can do it, and it's possible to get around certain limitations that they give you. But with Basecamp, they've thoroughly thought out how having an OS for your business can be done within that one tool. So your project management is in that one tool, your communication is in that one tool, all your Sops, documentation, chat, etc. Everything is in that one tool and keeping it organized. I posted a picture about with my one ones called work, which is client work, ones called business, which is everything to do with my business and one's called personal. If I do bigger projects that are personal and they're the three areas that I think they call them stacks, I call them areas in my life and it's either work that I'm doing for somebody, it's something to do with my business or it's personal. There is literally nothing else if I'm doing work on Chuck the truck and it's a long term project. Like I want to rebuild my gearbox, it will probably be in the personal one. You get the picture. So on and so forth. So having a OS for your business is ideal for everyone within your team and within your company because you're not clambering over where's the link? Where's this file? Where's that? It's all in one place. Hopefully that helps. I'm going to go and. Get ready for BBQ. And my cheesecake. I bought some nice cheesecake. I'll see you in the next one. Have a good one. Ciao.
