⚡ THE TAKEAWAYS
You've Become the Bottleneck — And It's Costing You Real Money
Every text your crew sends you is $200/hour brain power spent on a $15/hour task. When all knowledge lives in your head, the business can't move without you. That's not a company — that's a glorified job.
The Costco Sample Strategy: Start Small, Fix Together
Gil Vaisman joined the show to share the system that gets field crews to actually adopt new processes. Pick one chaotic problem. Build the fix with your team — not for them. Let them taste the relief before you roll anything else out. Listen to the episode →
Record Once. Distribute Forever.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
The problem isn't your crew. It's that the system lives inside your head. Every owner I work with who's logging 60-hour weeks has the same thing in common — they are the SOP. The fix isn't working harder or buying another software tool. It's documenting one process, with your team, this week. That's where it starts.
"The best system is the one your team will actually use 90% of the time — not the sophisticated one that gets ignored."
