Running a business shouldn’t feel like running a marathon on a hamster wheel. When you’re overworked, it’s easy to slip into reaction mode—constantly chasing calls, juggling payroll, and missing family moments. I’ve seen owners like Jake, an HVAC pro, who looked successful from the outside but was secretly drowning inside his business. In this episode, I’ll share simple but powerful steps that help you move from being an overworked owner to a confident CEO who’s in charge of both the business and your life.

What You’ll Learn…

• Why being an overworked owner costs you more than just profits

• How to start your mornings with a CEO check-in routine

• The one pause that keeps impulse spending from draining profits

• Why delegation is the key to getting off the hamster wheel

• How an overworked schedule hides profit leaks you don’t even notice

• The real value of digging into your credit card statements

• How Jake went from stressed technician to present family man

If your trucks are busy and your phone won’t stop ringing… but your bank account tells a different story—this training is for you.

Growth without profit is like running on a treadmill—you’re moving fast but getting nowhere. Jake, an HVAC owner, learned this the hard way when his $5 million sales milestone left him exhausted and almost broke. The truth is, more jobs often multiply your profit leaks instead of fixing them. That’s where Sneaky Leaky (our new mascot who points out profit leaks) slips in—through wasted time, underpricing, and overhead creep. In this episode, I’ll share real steps you can take to increase profit without working harder, so you can finally keep more of what you earn.

What You’ll Learn…

• Why you can’t outsell Sneaky Leaky when profits are dripping away

• How to increase profit by focusing on job margins instead of chasing sales

• The one mindset shift that stops you from “growing broke”

• How tiny price adjustments can protect your business from cost creep

• Why overhead creep quietly strangles your bottom line if you ignore it

• How wasted time can cost six figures and what to do about it

• The profit system that helps increase profit and reduce your daily stress

Networking doesn’t have to feel like a root canal. For introverts especially, the thought of walking into a crowded room can be downright paralyzing. I know, because I’ve been that wallflower.

I’ve dreaded plenty of events myself, but I also know the opportunities I would have missed if I hadn’t pushed through the discomfort.
