"I have hundreds of plans and goals, but I never execute on them. Or I try, but the first setback destroys the whole plan."

"Decide that goal sucks and don't do it."

"My only goal is to make enough money to survive"

"I've got lots of goals, and sometimes I hit them, but I don't know why I hit them."

When you set goals, what do you do?

I brute force the solution because I know I can figure it out.

I delegate it to somebody on my team or add it to my never-ending to-do list.

When you're confronted with a new problem? How do you approach it?

I always have to be doing something, and something on top of it.

It's easy for me until somebody tells me I have to do it.

I actually find myself stuck for long periods of time.

I don't have any time to sit still, but when my schedule does miraculously open up, I'm pretty good at it.

How easy do you find it to sit still?

I work all the time, and most of it is all on me.

I've got solid boundaries and find them easy to hold

My boundaries are kind of irrelevant, I don't have the money to stop

I've got good personal boundaries but when it comes to my team stuff gets messy

When boundary setting in your business? Which rings most true for you?

Terrible, I can't let go and when I do I micromanage every detail

Not good, I don't know how to let go. (What tasks to give, how do I find someone.)

Yes, I can delegate, but I either micromanage or don't manage.

Yes, but I don't know what they're doing half the time, or my team just doesn't feel like it's a good fit/or we don't have the system to guide them.

How good are you at delegating?

I love them. I have 8,000 of them. I never use them.

What the hell's an SOP? Do I need one? Will that make my business work?

I've got SOPs for miles. Every time I hire a new team member they layer their own SOPs on.

When I say SOPs, you say...

Stressful. I keep trying to fix the damn thing but it feels like it falls apart under my hands. It's taped up with sticky tape and glue.

I don't need a system! Don't fence me in with your talk of systems! Live free or die!

System? What system? I'm scrambling too much or too confused to have a system, I don't even know where to start.

Some pieces work but the system doesn't work together as a whole. It feels disjointed. My team manages it for me — I probably have a system that works, but I don't know what it looks like.

If I ask you about your system, how does it feel?

It all lives in my head (but don't ask me where). And things are growing so fast parts are falling out.

In the moment. I'm flexible and just do what happens next. I have an idea, and then I do it and things just kinda work out.

I have 8,000 notebooks of this stuff. I'm not sure if it's the right stuff. But it's all there. I write it down because I don't want to forget anything. But I can't see the overall picture.

My business is my team. Everyone has their expertise, and I hold it all together in the middle. (Mostly.)
