Ever launch a funnel and feel that sinking disappointment when it doesn't perform like you hoped?

Here's a recent story that might sound familiar:

• Lead magnet opt-in working well

• $12 cost per lead (actually pretty good!)

• Quality leads flowing in

• But... no sales

Why? Because we didn't g...

Your team can't work together effectively when they only see half the picture...

I first learnt about running teams from master business coach Jim Rohn. (yes, old school but hey, I still have the CDs for Art of Exceptional Living)

Jim said, “Running teams is like herding cats”.

Ie. Difficult.

So...

Ever opened a carefully designed template only to find it full of the last person's work?

"No problem," you think, "I'll just make a copy of this filled version, then delete all the data to get my template back..."

Remember when work used to take days? Oddly enough, those might have been more relaxing times for business owners...

The world markets have been in meltdown.

As you know Trump has introduced harsh tariffs on many countries that sell goods in the USA.

You may have seen the Ferris Beuler replays suggesting the foolishness of this strategy.

In the early days, your business doesn’t need systems—until it does.

As you grow, the moving parts multiply, and casual chats can’t keep up.

The real challenge?

Retrofitting systems when you’re already drowning in long hours and stalled growth.

Documenting what’s done and how is the easy part.

Ever wondered how to make systems work for your business? It starts with understanding what they are—and I learned this the hard way...

Missing netball games and coffee beans showed me why visibility is everything in life.

My wife had to travel and I've been single parenting for the week. 

The coffee beans ran out.

Netball was missed.
