Most SOPs Fail

Here’s how to build one that doesn’t.

🧠 ONE Smart Idea

Most SOPs are written for imaginary teams.
What they really need is:

• Less corporate structure

• More clarity around how you think

• A format that’s usable in real-time — not trapped in a dusty folder

Here’s the truth:
You don’t need a 40-step Google Doc.
You need a 4-bullet voice note that captures your actual genius on the fly.

Let’s clean house.

📖 Story Spark

A founder I coached had over 93 SOPs in her Notion workspace.
Every task had a system.
But no one — not even her — was using them.

Why?

They were built from someone else’s framework.
Templates that didn’t reflect her tone, her process, or her values.

Once we tossed the fluff, she rebuilt her stack using 3 prompts:

1. Where does my genius get trapped?

2. What do I do automatically that I’ve never written down?

3. What would I want someone else to do exactly like me?

Her first new SOP was just a voice memo and a 4-step checklist.

But it worked.

It got used.
It got refined.
It became real leverage.

⚙️ Tactical Application: The Sovereign SOP Filter

Use this to build your next SOP in 10 minutes or less.

Step 1: Start with the Intuition Gap

Ask:
“What do I just do that others would mess up?”

That’s what needs to be captured — not the obvious stuff.

Step 2: Record > Transcribe > Clarify

• Record yourself doing the task (Loom, voice note, etc.)

• Paste the transcript into ChatGPT

• Prompt:
  “Turn this process into a 4-step SOP. Keep it casual, clear, and aligned to my tone. Add reminders where decisions are based on personal style.”

Step 3: Install Into Your System

Drop it into:

• A Notion card

• Your SOP hub

• A checklist in your tool of choice

• Bonus: use it to train your custom GPT

💸 Make Money With AI

Strategy: Sell your own SOPs as a micro-product
Steps:

• Turn one of your internal systems into a teachable doc

• Add a short Loom walkthrough

• Include a bonus template or tool

• List it as a “SOP Pack” on Gumroad or your site ($17–$49)

• Upsell with DFY implementation or consulting

Your ops are your IP. Sell them.
