Most of the ‘Urgent’ Problems in Your Business Aren’t Urgent

Some days it feels like everything’s on fire, but most “urgent” problems aren’t urgent at all.

They only feel that way because of messy processes and siloed tech.

Here are three I see all the time and quick fixes you can try today:

#1 You’ve got a client call in 30 minutes but can’t find your notes

Pick one place for all client info – inbox, spreadsheet or CRM. It doesn’t matter which, as long as it’s consistent.

→ Then block one hour on Friday to collate everything for next week’s meetings.

#2 Your team’s waiting on you and you didn’t even know they were

Create one visible spot for anything that needs your input – a whiteboard, shared task, whatever works.

→ Brief your team on the new way of working so it sticks.

#3 You’re overdelivering for a client, spending unpaid hours because the scope isn’t tight enough

→ Create a clearer, more specific proposal template for next time.

These fixes might sound simple, but that’s the point. If your foundations aren’t nailed, the chaos won’t stop.

Block one hour to talk to me or to fix one thing yourself.

Helping small business owners fix the messy bits so work runs smoother and your hours are shorter.

Make change - one fix at a time.
