A family vacation nearly got derailed by a broken safe - and it taught me the most important business lesson about system failures I've ever learned.

In this episode, I share the story of how one small, invisible mechanism failing at 2 AM revealed a pattern I see destroying businesses constantly: we focus on big outcomes while ignoring the small systems that make everything possible.

Most entrepreneurs don't realize their business systems are quietly failing until it's too late. Payment processors glitch during product launches. Email sequences break right before major campaigns. Communication tools fail during crucial client meetings. Sound familiar?

I'll show you exactly how to prevent these disasters with my "Tech Tuesday" system - a simple monthly practice that catches problems before they derail your biggest opportunities.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why system failures always happen at the worst possible moments
  • The real reason you miss warning signs (it's not what you think)
  • How to implement monthly system testing that actually works
  • Why "fine" doesn't mean "fail-proof" in business systems
  • Simple tools to catch problems before they become crises

Perfect for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small business owners who are tired of scrambling when systems break at critical moments.
