Running a small business shouldn’t feel like a constant uphill climb—but for many owners I talk to, that’s exactly what it feels like.

You’ve got a great service, a good work ethic, and a big vision, but somehow, you’re stuck. You're busy all day long, yet the results don’t match the effort.

Sound familiar?

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Mike O’Neill on his podcast, Get UNSTUCK & On Target, to talk about why that happens—and what you can do about it.

Mike and I had a solid conversation about the day-to-day realities of running a service-based business, especially when you’re wearing too many hats. We covered everything from getting out of your own way, to making smarter, more profitable decisions that don’t require spending more money.

Here’s a bit of what I covered:

• Why doing everything yourself is holding you back

• How to stop chasing sales and start attracting the right clients

• What to focus on if you want results fast—without spending more money

• Real stories of business owners who broke through the chaos and found clarity

A big part of the conversation centered around my P-R-O-F-I-T-S Framework—a proven framework I use to help small business owners uncover hidden growth opportunities, boost profitability, and free up more time. No fluff, no gimmicks. Just practical strategies that deliver real results.

I shared examples of clients who went from stuck and overwhelmed to confident and in control—without needing a massive budget or complex systems. The key is making smart, focused changes that actually move the needle.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, doing too much, or unsure of what to do next in your business, I think you’ll find valuable takeaways to help you get unstuck and on track.
