When business started difficulties overcame:
“It’s the same I have now, process. I’m not driven by spreadsheets, so not having processes in place meant I was working much harder than I was smarter. Duplicating things, things that took 17 steps instead of 5. It’s still a challenge today; it’s not one I’ve mastered. Not having processes in place was a complete time waste for me.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Michelle Dutro:
- “If it’s perfect today, it won’t be tomorrow, because the world’s always changing. Perfection says to me you have a belief nothing will change, so nothing can be perfect”
- “Take notes on your process so you can get to the point where everything you don’t need to be the master of, you can turn it over and let somebody else do it for you”
- “Write down everything you do”
- “There’s no way any of these large companies are saying I’m going to develop a product and you’re never going to hear from us again. That iPhone 3, we’re never making another. There’s no such thing. But somehow we have the mindset that what we put out has to be out final product and has to be done and has to be perfect, and that alone, when that switch gets flipped, I think everything changes”
- “Don’t hesitate, but don’t get so ahead of yourself that you’re not documenting what you’re doing in order to keep yourself organised, because there will be a time that you need to hire someone, whether that’s an employee or a virtual assistant. All you have to do if you’ve been documenting is hand that over and say I want you to start doing this for me.”
