Tinkering with your business because you’re “just making it better”? Be careful! You might be unintentionally setting fire to something that wasn’t broken to begin with. In this episode of The Business Fix, Josh Troche and Chrissy Myers explore the surprisingly common problem of business owners who shake things up out of boredom: leading to mission drift, marketing misfires, and flatlined sales.

If you're a small business owner, marketing manager, or CEO trying to build authority with podcasting, grow your brand, or improve your content strategy without blowing up what’s already working, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn how to recognize whether your business is truly broken or if you’re just bored and craving a dopamine hit. We’ll show you how smart delegation and a clear mission can keep you from making unnecessary changes, what marketing metrics (like customer acquisition cost and lead pipeline) you should monitor before declaring your funnel broken, how to avoid “pod drift” when using podcasting for marketing, and when it’s time to realign with your vision versus when you just need a networking event, a nap, or a boredom buster experiment.

This episode offers real-world advice for staying engaged in your business without breaking what’s working. If you’re a small business owner, marketing manager, CEO, or team leader trying to level up without spiraling out, this one’s for you.

And remember: any machine can be a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.
