What I Audit First When a Business Owner Feels Overwhelmed

Feeling disorganized, overwhelmed, or like your team just isn't performing the way it should?

In this AMA Quickcast, I’m breaking down the first thing I audit when a business owner comes to me feeling maxed out — whether they’re solo or leading a team of 50. This isn’t a full operational overhaul. It’s a laser-focused check on one critical issue: goal-task alignment.

If you're constantly busy but not making real progress, this is where I’d start. Because more often than not, the problem isn’t a lack of effort — it’s misaligned execution.

🎯 In this episode, I cover:

• The real definition of productive (and why “busy” isn’t it)
• What goal-task alignment looks like in practice
• Why this is the fastest way to identify performance gaps
• How to run a mini audit on your own calendar, inbox, and task list
• What misalignment symptoms really point to

Whether you’re the only one running the show or leading a growing team, this quickcast will help you start untangling the overwhelm and focus your energy on what actually moves the needle.
