The Five Metrics That Reveal Your Highest-Impact System to Fix Next | Ep 260
Episode 260
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
🎙Deciding where to put my effort into systems, automation, or AI is a critical decision as a small business owner. With limited time, energy, and team capacity, I’ve definitely gone down the wrong path before and spent months improving systems that didn’t give me the return I hoped for. My clients often tell me they’re struggling with the same thing: they know they need better systems, but they don’t know which one to fix first. In this episode, I share a simple five-point scoring system that helps you objectively compare your most important revenue-generating systems. I’ll walk you through the five metrics, show how they combine into a clear impact score, and use a real client example so you can confidently decide where to focus your systemisation, automation, and AI efforts next. KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡Quickly Identify Your Highest Impact Systems: Instead of guessing what to fix next, use Steve´s simple Autopilot Index to compare your core revenue systems and see, clearly, which one to improve first to generate the biggest ROI. 💡 Spot and Address Dangerous Key‑Person Dependencies: Learn to identify systems or processes that live solely in the head of one employee and how to put in place documentation, etc., to ensure that you are not left vulnerable should they suddenly leave. 💡 Track Progress Towards an Autopilot Business: The Autopilot Index enables you to see how “autonomous” each system actually is, right now. As well as providing a practical, monitorable target so you can move each system from improvised or manual towards optimised and largely self‑running. 💡Aim for Optimised, Not Perfect: You don’t need 100% automation. Making 80% of your processes clear and not dependent on the founder or a key individual is good enough to put most of your business on autopilot and give you back your time. BEST MOMENTS 03:14 - 💬 “This will give you a list of maybe five to seven critical systems that allow you to generate money within your business. Now the challenge is, which of those to focus on first?” 14:46 - 💬 “Certain parts of my business are totally automated. So, therefore, I can give those 100% - I don't have to look at those again, unless something critical changes.” 16:51 - 💬 “That's like the highest level of key person dependency - There is no fallback plan because no one else knows how to do it.” TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW 00:00 Autopilot Index Scoring System Overview 05:54 “Key Person Dependency Impact” 08:06 “Short vs. Long-Term Goals” 13:04 “Building Sustained Sales Systems” 17:23 Business System Optimisation Insights 20:34 “Autopilot Index for Optimisation” VALUABLE RESOURCES SYS 153: My Journey to Maximising Profitability Using the Core Revenue Flow Framework LINKS TO CONNECT WITH THE HOST Podcast: https://www.systemizeyoursuccess.com Website: https://systemsandoutsourcing.com/ Facebook Group: https://facebook.com/groups/systemsandoutsourcing/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/systemsandoutsourcing/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/systems_and_outsourcing/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@drsteveday42 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drsteveday42 ABOUT THE HOST Steve moved to Sweden in 2015 and transformed how he ran his businesses—switching to a fully remote model.
