From Chaos to Clarity: How Small Business Owners Can Solve the Right Problems
About this episode
Most small business owners spend almost all of their time working in the business, but not enough time working on the business.
In this episode, we sit down with Sam Slater, a former Google executive with over a decade of experience in design strategy, to talk about how entrepreneurs and solo-preneurs can get clear, identify the real problem, and create a plan for moving forward.
Sam helps small businesses turn chaos into a clear, linear process by asking the right questions: who, what, why, and how. Through his in-person workshops and Clarity Clinic, he helps business owners address challenges around growth, client communication, client retention, operations, and more.
We also talk about why business owners often struggle to step back, prioritize, and address problems head on, and how a 30, 60, 90 day roadmap can help create real momentum.
