In this episode Sam shares ways to setup your business  in a manner that works for you. Sam is a systems oriented guy who over the last five years has put processes in place that save him time. Creating systems doesn't mean you have to write software. Just the opposite, take the simplest approach and use off-the-shelf ideas.

Slow and steady wins the race. Break each task into individual components. Small savings in effort, add up over time.

Some examples mentioned include:

- Team Calendar
- Google forms e,g cleaning list
- Security camera in the closet for inventory
- $100 limit contractor credit card - no contractor worrying about floating the cost
- Phone for housekeeping to take photos when done cleaning, auto saved to Google photos
- Take photos to simplify check in for guests, point out locks and draw arrows
- Use a Nest or Ring lock for reprogramming code for each guest, then text them the code
