When It's Time to Quit... and When It's Time to Fix Your Business
Episode 694
Sunday, June 14, 2026 • Duration 17:34
What if the problem isn't your business?
What if the problem is that you're trying to force yourself into a life you no longer want?
In this episode, we have an honest conversation about something most business owners never talk about: what happens when you hate being a business owner.
Some people are struggling because they simply haven't figured out their numbers yet. They love being a business owner but need to understand their Profit & Loss, pricing, debt, cash flow, and profitability.
Others hate every aspect of business ownership. They hate sales. They hate marketing. They hate managing people. They hate the pressure and responsibility.
Those are two completely different situations.
The question is: Which bucket are you in?
Today we're talking about how to know the difference and what to do next.
🔑 Key Takeaways 1. It's okay to admit you hate being a business owner. 2. Hating your business does not make you a failure. 3. Some owners love the work but hate the results. 4. Some owners hate every aspect of business ownership. 5. If you love the business but aren't making money, the answers are in your numbers. 6. Pricing, debt, cash flow, and profitability are often the real issue. 7. Expanding won't fix a broken business. 8. Sometimes the bravest decision is walking away. 9. Sometimes the bravest decision is digging in and fixing what's broken.

Stop Confusing Busy with Successful
Episode 693
Sunday, June 7, 2026 • Duration 13:51
Most business owners are busy. The question is: are they actually successful?
In this episode, we talk about one of the biggest traps small business owners fall into—confusing activity with progress. Just because you're working long hours, running from job to job, and staying busy every day doesn't mean your business is growing or becoming more profitable.
We discuss the difference between working IN your business versus working ON your business, why so many owners avoid looking at their numbers, and how failing to carve out time for planning keeps them stuck in the same cycle year after year.
You'll learn why protecting time to review your business, improve systems, develop your team, and understand your Profit & Loss report may be the most important work you do all week.
If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to build a more profitable business, this episode is for you.
I Haven't Taken a Vacation in 10 Years… Here's Why That's a Problem
Episode 684
Monday, March 23, 2026 • Duration 14:45
I'm going to be honest… I haven't taken a real vacation in over 10 years, and I barely take a day off. And that's not something to be proud of.
Today, we talk about how constantly working without rest is actually hurting your business. As small business owners, we think grinding nonstop is the path to success. But without time for mental and physical rest, our decision making suffers, our creativity drops, and we lose the ability to think strategically about growth.
Taking time off is not lazy. It is necessary. It gives your brain space to reset, reflect, and plan your next moves. If you want to be a better business owner, you have to take care of yourself first.
This is your reminder to step away, recharge, and come back stronger.
