  • 25. Avoid the Headline: A 30-Minute Trust Tune-Up for Business Owners
    Aug 25 2025

    Could a quiet money–trust wobble put you on the front page?

    In this episode of Why Your Business Isn’t Growing (and how to fix it!), Brendan shares a 30-minute trust tune-up to protect reputation and speed business growth. You’ll get five simple moves:

    1. Write clear “Money Rules”
    2. Use two outside approvers
    3. Keep a daylight conflict register
    4. Run boring monthly controls
    5. Create a safe Speak-Up path

    These make growing your business steadier and safer. This is practical leadership development: small, repeatable habits that help you lead, not just fix. Use them to grow your business without drama, lift business growth with cleaner decisions, and model leadership development your team can copy.

    If you take payments, sign leases, or approve spending, this is for you. Block 30 minutes, run the checklist, and watch growing your business feel lighter.

    Ready to grow your business the right way? Listen now and put trust to work for business growth today.
