Don’t strive for perfection. Strive for continued optimization over time. Anything in work or life falls into the category of things that can be made continually better. The first step is doing enough reps at something that it becomes almost second nature. Then finding ways to automate that thing where it takes less effort. Only then can you look for ways to make it more efficient, more optimized, so it takes even less time and effort. If you repeat this process over and over with every element of your life and business, incredible results will emerge.

Our first guest, Benj Miller, is the founder of System and Soul, who, like Rob, hails originally from Ohio. His vision is to transform 25k small businesses this decade through a unique brand of coaching that focuses on both business fundamentals, as well as what they refer to as the “Soul” side. To him, that means the identity, story and culture of an organization, including how they treat their employees. Benj has a lot of things going in the right direction, but needs some help looking at how his business model will evolve.
