51 | How Much Structure Is Actually Enough?

Somewhere between "nothing's written down" and "a twenty-two-step checklist nobody follows anymore" is the actual amount of structure your business needs — and most service providers have never been given a real test for finding it.

In this episode, Christy breaks down the one-line test she uses with her own business and with clients: you have enough structure when the important things happen consistently, without living in your head. Too little and too much cause the exact same problem — they both drain energy you don't have to spare.

In this episode:

Why too little and too much structure both leave you tired

How to tell if something's a missing system or an ignored one — with real examples of each
