Show Notes: In this eye-opening episode of The Back Office Podcast, Lyra uncovers a major challenge that many business owners face but rarely discuss: internal operational hiccups. She gives a candid account of the struggles faced by her business, The Homebased Worker, as they aimed to optimize their client operations. Dive deep into how this resulted in the creation of a centralized hub, transforming not only internal processes but also client experiences. What You'll Learn: 1. The challenges of juggling multiple client systems and the impact on internal operations. 2. The paradox of working more on coordination rather than task execution. 3. The significance of seeing your own business through an objective lens. 4. The transformative effect of centralizing operations. 5.
