    Ep 97 - How Small Business Systems Simplify Growth and Make Scaling Sustainable
    May 20 2025

    When it comes to growing a business, most small business owners fall into the same trap: the more growth they experience, the more work piles up on their own desk. At first, growth feels exciting — until the extra hours, constant decision-making, and spinning plates start to wear you down. The truth is, small business growth doesn’t have to come at the cost of your time, your freedom, or your sanity. If you want to scale your business sustainably, the solution isn’t hustle — it’s systems.

    In fact, building the right systems is one of the smartest small business growth strategies you can invest in, and the earlier you start, the smoother your path to scaling will be. Let’s dig into what systems really are, why you need them even as a solopreneur, and how to start building them — even before you hire help.

    If you want support designing systems to scale, so that growth no longer requires more hours, that's exactly what you'll learn in my low-cost membership, The Profitable Small Business Club. https://ceoamplify.ca/profit

    Ep 96 - The Time Management Mistake Keeping Small Business Owners Busy But Not Profitable
    May 13 2025

    Ever feel like your calendar is packed, your to-do list never ends, and yet… your business still isn’t where you want it to be? You're not alone. Most small business owners are working constantly — juggling client delivery, team questions, content creation, customer service, admin tasks — and still wondering why profit margins stay thin. But here’s the truth: being busy doesn't mean you're being profitable. In fact, most small business owners spend over 80% of their time on work that doesn't directly generate profit. Today, we'll talk about why this happens, what to do instead, and how to protect your CEO time so you can drive real results.
