About this episode:

Every book, podcast, and conference adds another item to your fix-it list — and somewhere along the way, knowing exactly what's broken started to feel worse than not knowing.

David Jenyns, author of Systemology and Systems Champion, has helped thousands of owners turn a chaotic mental backlog into a sequence they can actually execute.

For a $1M–$10M landscape operation still running off the owner's memory, picking the wrong system to fix first can cost you a whole season.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- How to use the Critical Client Flow to narrow forty problems down to the one bottleneck actually capping your revenue.
- The "squeaky wheel vs. broken axle" filter for telling a merely loud problem from one that's quietly binding the whole business.
- Why your first system should be the worst you'll ever build — and the exact profile of the Systems Champion who should hold the pen instead of you.
