Ever feel like you should be improving your systems, scaling your team, and streamlining your ops - but you’re already running on fumes? You’re not alone.
In today's episode I open up about the struggle to even get this conversation recorded (because, of course, life and business don’t always cooperate) before diving into what it really means to pursue continuous improvement as a service-based founder.
From being the do-it-all technician to stepping into your CEO role, this episode unpacks the messy middle - where passion meets process and growth requires more than just grit. Drawing from classics like The E-Myth and Traction, Chrissy breaks down why so many founders get stuck in the day-to-day and what it takes to build a business that can actually grow without you holding every string.
Inside this episode:
✨ Why “shoulding” yourself into progress actually holds you back
✨ The evolution from service provider to visionary CEO (and why it’s harder than it sounds)
✨ The real barriers to continuous improvement - from burnout to bandwidth
✨ How Fractional Integrator and Operations Support can help you scale with less chaos
✨ Why asking for help isn’t a weakness - it’s a growth strategy
You don’t have to do it all (and definitely not all at once). It’s time to stop “shoulding” all over yourself and start creating a business that supports the visionary you’re becoming.
