Not because the business is broken, but because they’re not following what works.

That “one day” turned into three. Then a week. Then, more often than not, I found myself scrolling instead of starting my day on purpose.

And the shift was subtle—but real.

I was less focused. Less grounded. My mind felt cluttered before I’d even done any real work.

It reminded me of what happens when entrepreneurs don’t follow their own business systems.

They start strong. But then…

One missed follow-up.

One off-script sales call.

One “quick tweak” that derails a proven process.

And suddenly, the results dip.

Not because the business is broken—but because they’re not following what works.

The truth?

Systems aren’t restrictive. They’re what creates freedom.

Without them, you’re reacting.

With them, you’re in control.

Action Step:

Take five minutes today and do a quick audit:

Where are you skipping or sidestepping the very system you know creates results?

Get back to it. Lock it in. Protect it like your DEEnero depends on it.

Because it does.

Tomorrow, I’ll share a no-fluff, 30-second insight from the E7 Method that most people completely overlook—but the ones who implement it tend to grow faster, with less grind.

Kick butt, make mucho DEEnero!
