Stop Explaining the Same Task Twice
You know that task you've explained three times this month? The one that lives in your head, not on paper? Your First SOP gives you a simple Google Doc template so you can write it down once and never repeat yourself again.
This isn't a blank page and a prayer. It's a fill-in-the-blank structure built for solopreneurs who've never written an SOP before, with guidance already built into the format so you're not staring at a cursor wondering where to start.
Whether you're documenting for future-you or handing tasks off to a VA, this gives you a starting point that's actually usable, not just another intimidating template you'll open once and close forever.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
- How to structure an SOP so anyone (including future-you) can follow it
- When to use a checklist versus a numbered list, and why it matters
- How to write purpose, scope, and procedure sections that actually make sense
- What belongs in an SOP database entry versus what's overkill
WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE
- The Google Doc SOP template, ready to copy and fill in
- Built-in section prompts (Purpose, References, Scope, Frequency, Definitions/Background, Procedures)
- A sample structure showing both checklist and numbered-list formatting
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
- You're a solopreneur just starting to document your processes
- You want to hand off a task without three follow-up questions
- You'd rather fill in a template than build one from scratch
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF
- You already have a full SOP system in place
- You're looking for a video course walking you through SOP strategy (check out Systematize with SOPs for that)
- You don't use Google Docs
