If You Think Standard Operating Procedures Are Boring, You’re Missing Out on the Ultimate Business Hack… Let Me Show You How to Reclaim Your Time & Scale Fast

Let’s face it—if you’re an entrepreneur or business owner, you probably think “Standard Operating Procedures” (SOPs) sound about as exciting as watching paint dry. I get it. Most of us are naturally creative, love networking and solving big problems, but dealing with the nitty-gritty? Not our thing.

But what if I told you that mastering SOPs is exactly how you free yourself from stress, reclaim hours every week, and finally scale your impact—not just in your business, but in life? I’m Kevin Brittain (Runpreneur), and on my mission to run 40,075km, vlog more than 4,292 consecutive days, and raise £1,000,000 for children’s causes, I’ve learnt (the hard way!) that SOPs are the backbone of freedom.

Here’s how they’ll change your game—and why you need to start today.

Standard Operating Procedures: The Most Underrated Superpower in Business 🚀

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about big ideas. It’s about delivering results—consistently. If things feel variable, if you’re constantly firefighting, it’s almost always because you don’t have clear, repeatable processes. Without SOPs, you’re stuck re-inventing the wheel…and working 60+ hours a week.

Sound like you? You're not alone, 40% of business owners put in over 60 hours weekly, simply because they haven’t let go of repetitive tasks.

But here’s the good news: We’re living in a golden age for SOP creation, and what used to take days now takes minutes.

My Down-to-Earth, No-Fuss SOP Hack (Because No One Has Time for 50-Page Manuals)

Forget clunky handbooks. Here’s what I do, and you should too:

1. Grab your smartphone or use screen recording software.

2. Record yourself doing a recurring task—doesn’t need to be polished. Just talk through every step, explaining why as you go.

3. Make sure your mic is on! (Trust me, I’ve learnt this one the hard way.)

4. Upload to an AI tool like ChatGPT (even the free version).

5. Instruct it to create a transcription, then turn that into an operations manual and checklist.

6. Now you have three powerful assets: video, step-by-step manual, and a checklist.

Anyone in your team can repeat the process, learn fast, and improve upon it. Hand it off—the golden rule: if someone can do it 70% as well as you, delegate, and they’ll surpass you soon enough.

SOPs Unlock True Freedom (So You Can Scale, Innovate, and Do the Things That Matter Most)

By building a living archive of these SOPs—and by the way, we do this for even so-called “one-off” tasks, because they always pop up again—you create a living blueprint for your business. Every time someone needs to do something, there’s a video, manual, and checklist at their fingertips.

This isn’t just about saving time (though you’ll easily claw back hours). It’s about finally letting go, empowering your team, and setting yourself free to focus on impact, strategy, or—like me—running across the world, raising money for children’s lives.

Are You STILL Doing Everything Yourself? Change Today.

If you think not having SOPs “isn’t that bad,” ask yourself:

• Are you overwhelmed by day-to-day tasks?

• Are mistakes cropping up that shouldn’t?

• Do you wish you could step away without things falling apart?

SOPs are your answer. Start with just one today. Record, narrate, upload, and let AI do the rest. Soon, you’ll have a business that runs with you—or without you.
