Chapter 3: Best Practices as Weapons

From Day One, it’s important to document what works best for you and your company, your Best Practices and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This book is our medium for documenting our own Best Practices; we encourage you to adopt as many as you see fit while sharing them and adding whatever else you develop or discover independently.

There is no set limit to your Best Practices arsenal; it is a continually evolving and fluid document. Old ideas should be thrown out now and again while new ones are readily added. Some ideas can simply be added to your normal business flow, yet there may be times when you are so overworked that some emerging and innovative ideas cannot be as easily implemented and have to be saved for later.

After preparing extensive documentation about the Best Practices that drive your industry and your company, you should then create Standard Operating Procedures, which explains how to do all the theoretical tasks in an organized manner.
