You're too busy to fix the stuff that's making you too busy. That's the trap, and it doesn't break on its own.

One year ago today somebody told me they wanted Fridays off. I reconnected with them last month and they're still working six days a week. Their words: "I'm too busy to fix the stuff that's making me too busy." So today I walk through the way out. Pull an emergency afternoon, take one recurring task that eats your week, and cut it, delegate it, or automate it. Spend 90 minutes to win back 60 minutes every week, then do it again. Jamar Jones of Foureva Media joins me on personal positioning, the Wiki Famous Audit, and why focus is the thing holding most owners back. Plus the Idea Slam on CRMs nobody loves, and the AI story of the day on LinkedIn's "seems like AI slop" button.
