A few years ago, I was helping my friend Jeff rebuild an automation — getting his intake form to talk to his CRM and his project management tool. Halfway through the screen share, he stopped and said, "So you just think like this?" That's when it hit me: not everyone's brain defaults to systems. Mine does…but I wasn't born with it. I learned it.
That's what this episode is about. A lot of solopreneurs tell me some people are just wired for this, and they're not, that it's a willpower fail. I don't buy it. Thinking in systems is a skill you can learn, not a gift you're handed.
Here’s how.
