Unique Spaces
The SYS Academy is built on three core pillars:
Trusted Tribe
Like-minded business owners who get it. Legit experts who have your back. Support for you and your team. That's our tribe.
Expert Advice
From live training and accelerators to considered personal advice, we're here to support you when you need us.
Business Operating System
Your team get access to our vault of 19+ courses and systems with all the support, accountability and feedback they need.
The Small Business Freedom System
When you join the Systemize Your Success Academy, you’re unlocking our proven, comprehensive and aligned Small Business Freedom System to unlock freedom, purpose, and prosperity in your business and life.
Prepare for a transformation that will empower you to break free from the chaos, reclaim your time, and build a business that works for you.
With tens of thousands of hours of experience, hundreds of successful clients across 27 industries and over seven years of refinement, our Small Business Operating system is proven to work in any small business.
We divide our systems and training into three levels - Ignition, Ascent and Orbit.
We begin with the basics- to regain control of your time, hire the right assistants and delegate with confidence. By the end, your business will run on autopilot without your day-to-day involvement - so you can do more of what you love each day.
Autopilot Ignition is our foundational program, designed to free your time by equipping you with the tools, frameworks, and systems needed to hire, onboard, and manage great staff and virtual assistants.
You get our flagship System for Systems, which enables you to get critical knowledge out of people's heads - protecting your business and, combined with the Unified Task Boards, you will delegate with confidence.
Your continued success depends on your team applying these foundational frameworks. We offer comprehensive training and support to keep your team aligned so your business thrives without constant oversight.
Unified Task Boards
Unified Task Boards empower your team to work and collaborate efficiently and independently. You gain real-time visibility and control of your team's work. Gone are the days of chasing people up and things slipping through the net. When you know what's being done, by who, and when - you spend less time managing and more time working on your highest value activities.
DIDACT Operations Manuals
'
Traditional Operations Manuals (OMs), or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), are painfully slow to create and cumbersome to maintain. DIDACT OMs are efficient, effective and empowering. They protect your business by rapidly getting knowledge out of people's heads to remove your reliance on key individuals, including yourself. DIDACT OMs take minutes to create, but provide every detail needed to get work done, to a high standard, without your involvement.
Recruit Right Hiring System
Recruit Right is our proven hiring machine that's been used by hundreds of business owners to hire thousands of brilliant virtual assistants and home-grown talent. By taking applicants through a series of tried and tested stages, we eliminate all but the very best candidates. Our step-by-step process means anyone in your business can run your recruitment drives without any prior experience. Remove your reliance of expensive recruitment agencies and create a recruitment machine that will put value-matched, competent and motivated staff at your fingertips.
Staff Onboarding System
Finding the Right staff is only the beginning. To keep the best people, you need to demonstrate that your business is professional and organised from the get go. The Staff Onboarding System ensures your new recruits feel welcomed and ready to hit the ground running with access to everything they need to do their work and the training needed to work effectively in your business from day one.
Staff Management Toolkit
Retaining great talent for the long term is one of the most effective ways of reducing costs and improving efficiency. Hiring, onboarding and training staff sucks resources away from income-generating activities. The Staff Management Tookit gives you a set of proven systems for managing your team like a pro. With joined-up frameworks for running meetings, giving feedback, performing appraisals and more, you have everything you need to build trusting, lasting relationships with your team - making them feel valued and giving you the confidence to offload your work and free your time.
Autopilot Ascent builds on everything from Ignition, focusing on systemizing complex, multi-step processes that involve multiple people and apps. Autopilot Ascent empowers your team to design and manage advanced systems, allowing them to take the lead in their development. As a result, you’ll be freed from the daily grind, giving you the freedom to step away and take real time off.
Perfect Process Pipelines (PPP)
Managing complex, multi-step, multi-person, and multi-app processes often falls on the business owner or manager, leading to issues when they’re unavailable. I created the PPP Methodology to systemize the management of these processes, from client onboarding to content repurposing and sales progression. PPP significantly reduces your team's reliance on you for core business activities. In short, it’s the key to systemizing at scale.
Core Revenue Flow
'
'What should I systemize next?' is a common question from both new clients and veteran members. The answer lies in pinpointing core income-generating processes and assessing how well systemized they are and their dependence on key individuals. The Core Revenue Flow offers a simple 2-step process to help both new and experienced systemizers make these essential decisions to ensure you focus your time and energy on systemizing the right things in the right order.
Task Board Management System
Task boards transformed how I delegated and managed work. However, when I took my eye off the ball, they quickly became outdated and messy. So, I developed the Task Board Management System to empower my team to take ownership of their task boards, drive systemization, track essential metrics, and enhance collaboration. The outcome? A more organized, productive team, improved systems, and less work for us owners!
Unified Inbox Management System (UIMS)
The biggest time drain and distraction? Emails, phone calls, texts, social media, and WhatsApp messages! Imagine what it would feel like to confidently have someone else handle the lion's share for you. That’s exactly what the UIMS does. It's not AI or automation but a simple, effective system that captures rules, FAQs, and actions, enabling your assistant to manage the majority of your communications, leaving you to focus on what truly matters.
Project Management System
As small business owners, we often create chaos with spontaneous 'great ideas,' starting projects without fully considering the resources or cost-benefit. The Project Management System helps avoid poor decisions, ensures structured, trackable timelines, and prevents wasted effort when priorities shift. This system saves time, money, and mental energy.
Autopilot Orbit equips you and your team to build automations, harness AI, and optimize your CRM to create scalable systems that run on autopilot. This is a core focus of the Academy, with new content, systems, workshops, and courses designed to keep your team up-to-date on the latest advancements in AI, automation, and content creation.
Automation and AI
There is nothing I like more than messing around with automation, APIs and AI. For that reason, I've gotten pretty good at it. This is a hot topic and we have workshops and new course content in the pipeline to complement our existing resources.
CRMs, email, calendar and sales automation
I realised that only a few of our members have a CRM and event fewer know how to use it effectively. Even simple things like automating appointment booking, sending regular emails or keeping track of sales opportunities aren't done well, if at all. That's why I decided to create community groups, workshops and courses all about CRMs and automation..
Content Publishing On Autopilot
What I started publishing content it was inconsistent, offbrand and sporadic! When I launched my podcast, things needed to change. The problem - I was the bottle neck in every step-
So, I created my first Process Pipeline - the Podcast Production and Promotion Pipeline. Since then, I have never missed an episode and we are regularly in the top 100 charts around the world. My involvement - 15-45 minutes to record the audio - everything else is done by my team with a little help from AI. The best time to start creating a pipeine like this, is the day you start posting! Trust me!!

"access to like-minded people who are on the journey to systemize"
"What I like about the community is the access to like-minded people who are on the journey to systemize their businesses... You get to a point where you start to look more holistically... and the community is great because lots of people give advice .. it's really interesting to get the feedback from others who are in different industries... there's a real collaboration and cross fertilization of ideas... I find it very engaging and I get responses quickly- detailed considered responses. I place huge emphasis and value on the community."

Jason Abbott
"the community is a really big part of why I'm involved with your group"
"For me, the community is a really big part because I get the benefit of the mastermind group being able to get contribute their help to any queries that we've got, the sharing of resources, knowledge, and being able to bounce different ideas off different people in the group, in different industries, which is also key, because different industries might have a different view.
So, aside from the coaching and the one to ones, the community is a really big part of why I'm involved with your group."

Sebastian Aronowitz
"seeing other people posting gives you automatically a feeling of connection"
"...seeing other people posting in there gives you automatically a feeling of connection to them, you have better sense of who's around in the group, and that feeling which it does give you that there is a community, I think is quite important, and I can see it being very, very useful.
I think sharing ideas is important and so it will add a lot to what you're doing."

What our member's staff are saying...
Garyll Dave Selorio, Operations Manager
"it's a fantastic platform for sharing ideas and insights"
"As a team member, it's really helpful to have a resource hub and a space where I can connect and ask for support. The direct line of communication with Steve's team ensures that everyone gets the guidance they need.
Plus, it's a fantastic platform for sharing ideas and insights, allowing everyone to contribute to and benefit from the collective wisdom of the community."

Joy Zuniga,
Systems Implementer
"Being part of the SYS community has been incredibly beneficial"
"Being part of the SYS community has been incredibly beneficial for a staff member like me who is still learning while managing various tasks for the business.
The community offers a safe space where I can freely ask questions and seek feedback on my work without feeling judged. Steve’s encouragement to submit our work for his review has been particularly helpful, as his constructive feedback ensures our work is accurate before we apply it in the business.
Moreover, we learn from each other’s experiences and insights, which we can use to help the business grow."

AJ Omal, Operations Manager
"The new community platform is fantastic for exchanging ideas"
"When I first joined, I had no prior experience with Operation Manuals or the apps we use. Your detailed instructions in the DIDACT and OMs were invaluable, and I can’t thank you enough for that.
I've always felt incredibly supported by you and the team through coaching. The new community platform is fantastic for exchanging ideas and getting answers and has made a huge difference. "

Bina Patel
"It's great that I can have my staff go in as well"
The community and the portal are much more detailed and inviting. You can not only post your question, but you can actually see all the questions that people have asked that you may want to ask in the future, and you can actually see what answers have been provided to similar questions that you think you want to ask in the future as well.
Plus, I think it's just easier to navigate around this portal as well. There are a lot of things here
—you've got your general chit-chats and the wins and challenges, and it's good to just log in and see exactly what's going on and also watch the previous recordings if you've not managed to attend them live as well.
It's also great from a position that I'm in with a company that I can actually have my staff go in as well. And my staff can go in and ask questions if they've got something challenging because a lot of the people in this community are also in similar industries.
I also like the fact that you can see members. It's good to interact and put a face to a name as well, so it's very inviting.
I guess it's like a bit of a mini Facebook or like Friends Reunited, just all based on business and system."

Why I Built This Community
"For 15 years, I ran my property development business in Manchester as a one-man band. I had no one to turn to when things got tough, and the frustration, overwhelm, and isolation left me disconnected from the passion that got me started in the first place.
When I moved to Sweden in 2015, I turned to social media to stay connected and stumbled upon business groups that offered support and advice. These communities became my lifeline—they helped me feel less alone and gave me the confidence to keep moving forward.
But there was a problem. The public nature of these platforms made it hard for me to share openly, and I was constantly distracted by ads, irrelevant content, and random notifications. As someone with ADHD, this was a nightmare. When I tried building my own Facebook group, algorithms got in the way, limiting my reach and frustrating both me and my clients. Many of us disliked social media altogether, feeling it wasn’t a place for deep, meaningful connection.
That’s why I built the Systemize Your Success Academy—a private, focused, and supportive community designed for freedom-driven entrepreneurs. It’s a safe space where you and your team can share openly, learn from each other, and move forward without the noise and distractions of social media.
The results have been incredible—an active, engaged community that’s transforming businesses and lives. I only wish I’d done it sooner."
Dr Steve Day, Founder

Your Team FAQs
What's the difference between 'Access-All-Areas' and 'Community Only' seats?
We have two levels of access to our community - Access-All-Areas (AAA) seats and Community seats.
What are AAA seats?
AAA members have full access to support via our community platform, including specialist interest groups like Automation and Marketing, plus access to all courses, systems, homework reviews, challenges and workshops. Also, if you are a coaching client, AAA seats are invited to attend coaching calls with you or on your behalf (subject to the terms of your subscription).
Which team members need a AAA seat?
AAA seats are typically used for Business Owners, Business Partners, CEOs, Operations Managers/Assistants, Systems Implementers, and other team members leading or directly involved in systems creation, automation, recruitment, and management.
What are Community seats?
Community members have access to support via our community platform. They can post questions and contribute in our staff spaces, connect with our members and have access to our knowledgebase, blog, and podcast archive. They do not attend live training or participate in challenges. The cannot access our courses or submit homework for review.
Which team members need a Community seat?
Community seats are for your general staff, admin assistants, and support staff who use the systems created by your AAA team.
Can I invite my team?
Yes! Our methodology focuses on freeing up your time effectively.
We believe there are two main ways to do this:
1. Delegating work.
2. Automating tasks with systems, automation and AI.
By focusing on delegating work first, you can offload time-consuming, repetive tasks AND have your team member help you build automations, utilise AI and create systems.
We'll train your team and support them to implement what they learn. This way you can enjoy the benefits without doing all the work yourself - allowing you to focus on higher value work.
After you join SYS Academy, if you don't already have an assistant, one of our first steps will be to help you hire one.
How many team members you can add depends on your level of membership - this is shown on the product information page and checkout.
If you need more information, please use the chat widget on this page, send us an email or WhatsApp or click here to book a call to discsuss your options.
Can my team attend group coaching calls?
We encourage you to invite one Access All Areas (AAA) team member to attend each group coaching sessions included in your membership.
They can join with you or attend on your behalf.
This enables us to train them on systemizing your business and implementing our course content- so you don't have to.
Different AAA team members can join each call so we can support each in their specific role. However, we only permit one additional team member on each call to ensure we have time to answer everyone's questions.
Can I change my active team members?
Of course. We understand thae staff leave, roles change and responsibilities are fluid in small business - that's why we created a self-service portal so you can add or remove members and change their access level directly through our platform.

What does 'unlimited support' mean?
Unlimited support means you and your team can ask unlimited questions, and ask for help and advice through our community platform.
Access All Areas members can also ask for homework reviews as they progress through our training courses.
Can I share my product or service with the community?
We encourage our members to help and support each other. You can apply to run a workshop or event to share your expertise and grow your authority. People interested in learning more about what you offer can reach out to you via direct messaging on our platform.
We have a strict no-selling policy in our community, We will remove anyone found soliciting per our Community Guidelines.
How is this platform different from a Facebook group?
One of the main reasons I built this private platform is because I dislike the constant, irrelevant ads, notifications, and messages that come with free platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. I find it frustrating (and distracting) to be bombarded with unsolicited offers for products and services I don’t need, or random people trying to connect. That’s why we’ve established strict community guidelines: we do not allow or tolerate unsolicited emails or direct messages. Repeat offenders will be banned without warning.
Unlike Facebook, you have full control over what you see and the notifications you receive. For more details, check out our FAQ on managing content and notifications below.
Also, because we charge for membership, we don’t rely on advertising revenue. This means your experience is completely free from unwanted distractions, allowing you to focus on building the freedom-driven business you deserve!
Can I choose what content I see and manage my notifications and email preferences?
Our private platform is fully customizable. You choose what, when and where you receive notifications (if any) and who can message you.
Select only the spaces that are relevant to you, or only get notified when people reply to your specific questions - it's entirely up to you :)
Do you have Android and iOS mobile apps?
Yes, we do! Everything in our community platform is accessible via native Android and iOS apps, so you can get the support you need on all your devices.
Payment and Subscription FAQs
Can I speak to someone before I join?
I believe the best way for you to know if the SYS Academy is right for you is to join and see for yourself. Therefore, we offer a full, unconditional 30-day refund guarantee so you can make an informed decision (see our refund FAQ below for more details).
However, if you'd like to chat with us first, we'd love to speak with you- Please use the chat widget on this page, send us an email or WhatsApp or - click here to book a call to discsuss your options.
Will you remind me before my next payment is due?
Yes. We partner with Stripe as our secure payment service provider. Stripe will send you an email a few days before each payment is due so there are no nasty surprises . You can update your payment information, change subscription or cancel through Stripe's self-serve portal at any time- no need to contact us first (see our cancelation policy below).
Can I pause my membership?
We are unable to pause membership. You are free to cancel at anytime and rejoin at a later date (subject to our cancellation policy). However, any promotional rates offered when your signed up may not by available when you rejoin.
What is your Cancellation policy?
