Systems Instead of Memory: How I Actually Run a Business with a Busy Brain
If you read the last post about running a business with a busy brain, and you recognised yourself in there. Understand, the problem was never you. It’s the missing structure that’s holding you back!
But then comes the harder question. What does building structure actually look like on a normal day? And how do you stop it from becoming so heavy that the structure weighs more than the client work you love?
