When Shiny Object Syndrome Impacts Home Service Productivity and Profits with Skye Waterson

Home service productivity takes a hit when your brain is wired to chase the next thing instead of finishing the current one. In this episode, I sit down with Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organisation, to talk about something I have never covered on the show before. Skye works as a fractional COO with service business owners who have ADHD symptoms, and what she shares will make a lot of things click into place for you.

If you have quotes sitting unsent for days, or your team can't seem to get things done even when there is clearly enough time, this conversation gets at the real reason why. We talk about what shiny object syndrome actually does to your focus and your bottom line, and what practical systems can do to fix it.
