Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO—just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

Let’s talk about systems. A true system is when an activity—or group of activities—can run without your direct involvement. That’s when you know you've built something sustainable.

Remember back in the discovery process, we said every job and every industry has its own personality? Over time, each role in your business starts to take on its own rhythm and identity. That’s a good thing—it’s the sign of a maturing company.

By nature, systems are structured, scheduled, predictable, and reliable. And when those systems are in place, the pace of your business may begin to slow—but don’t mistake that for a problem. It's actually a sign of stability. Just like you needed patience with yourself during earlier growth stages, now it's time to be patient with your team. Stay the course. The payoff is coming.
