I know something has to change, but I don't know where to start with Dominic Rubino

Every shop owner hits this point.
You’re busy. You’re tired.
You feel something is off…
But you don’t know what to fix first.

This episode is all about that moment.

The Real Problem Isn’t What You Think

Most owners think the problem is:

  • Not enough people

  • Not enough time

  • Not enough money

But the real issue is usually unclear systems.

When the team keeps asking questions…
When every job feels rushed…
When you feel like you must do it all…
It means the systems are weak, not the people.

Start Here: One Small Win

Big change starts with one simple step.
Not ten steps.
Not a big plan.
Just one.

In the episode, I talked about the first 3 easy moves:

  1. Pick one problem.
    Something small. Something daily.

  2. Fix it with a simple rule.
    Make it clear. Write it down.

  3. Share it with your team.
    Show them “this is our new way.”

This takes minutes…
But it gives relief fast.

Why Working Harder Stops Working

You can’t outwork chaos.
You can only systemize it.

When your shop grows, “hard work” hits a ceiling.
But systems never do.

That’s why you feel stuck.
Your business grew…
But your systems stayed the same.

Where Big Shops Start

Big, calm, profitable shops all do the same thing:

  • They pick one bottleneck

  • They fix it

  • Then they move to the next one

They don’t chase everything.
They don’t panic.
They follow a system.

You can too.

Final Thought

If you know something has to change…
Start small.
Win once.
Then win again.

This is how you build a better shop and get your life back.
