Episode 85: How to Eat an Elephant

What this episode covers

Many small business owners feel overwhelmed by messy payroll, scattered crews, and endless paperwork. The scale of these problems can make it feel like nothing will ever get fixed. The key insight is simple: you don’t solve everything at once. You solve it one step at a time. The idea of “eating an elephant” reflects breaking large operational challenges into smaller, manageable improvements that can actually be executed. Instead of trying to overhaul your entire business, focus on one system first—like time tracking. Small improvements create momentum, and over time, those changes compound into meaningful operational transformation.
