For months, I thought we had our systems dialed in—project management software, workflows, communication tools, you name it. But no matter how "good" everything seemed on the surface, I found myself constantly angry, frustrated, and stressed. The worst part? I knew that every mistake—whether it was a podcast episode going out unedited or a broken download link—was a direct reflection of ME. My brand. And that feeling of letting it slip through my fingers was enough to keep me up at night. The pressure was real, and it was taking a serious toll on my mental health, my bank balance, and my business growth. But what if I told you that even after all this, we lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential revenue just because I didn't trust our systems enough to take a leap and launch new projects? In this episode, I share how I hit a breaking point and had to confront the hard truth: to grow, I had to let go of tasks and empower my team in a way I hadn't been doing. You'll hear about the pivotal moment when I realized I was running the show like a dictator, and the frustrating journey we've been on to turn it all around. Joed (our Business Manager) joins me to give you an inside look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of implementing systems that scale. If you've ever felt like you're stuck in the weeds of your own business, or like you're drowning in tasks that aren't helping you grow, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn from our mistakes, our wins, and how we're finally building a business that's ready for the next level.
