Episode Description from the Publisher

On this episode of Butternomics, our host, Brandon Butler, talks with Connie S. Falls, founder of Connie S. Falls and the operational systems expert known as Systems Bae. With 19 years of experience building the back end of everything from federal agencies to mega churches to record labels, Connie breaks down why there is no scaling without systems, and why most people saying “scale” actually just mean growth. She and Brandon get into the difference between a business and a hobby that makes money, why “nobody can do it like me” is the pride that kills companies, and how you can’t build generational wealth without generational documentation. Connie also shares the moment her five-year-old daughter forced her to confront her own hustle, plus the simplest first step any overwhelmed entrepreneur can take today: start with a checklist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
