Ever build a process so perfect that no one actually uses it? In this episode, Mike and Blaine tackle one of the biggest traps entrepreneurs and small business owners fall into: overengineering. From automating tasks that never needed automating, to building dashboards for a team of one, to writing SOPs that no one ever reads—these are the mistakes that slow businesses down instead of moving them forward. 

We share real-world stories, laugh at the times we’ve been guilty ourselves, and offer practical advice on how to simplify, streamline, and actually make progress. If you’ve ever been stuck in the weeds trying to “perfect” your business systems, this episode is for you. Learn how to stop wasting energy on the wrong things and start focusing on what really drives growth.
