In this episode of the Streamline and Shine podcast, Steff Bolton discusses the common misconception among business owners that they need more time. Instead, she emphasizes that the real issue is decision fatigue caused by an overwhelming number of micro-decisions. By identifying and systemizing these decisions, business owners can reclaim mental space and focus on strategic thinking. The episode highlights the importance of pre-deciding various aspects of business operations to enhance efficiency and reduce the burden of constant decision-making.
