Systems and documentation don't have to kill your creativity—they are actually the secret to getting your life back.

In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan Ronzio, Co-Founder and CMO of Trainual, to dismantle the biggest myth in the contracting world: that SOPs are just "boring paperwork."

If you’re constantly procrastinating on your systems and processes because they feel overwhelming or restrictive, Jonathan reveals the massive mindset shift you need to make. Learn how to stop being the bottleneck in your business, empower your team to run without you, and finally achieve the freedom you started your business for.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why "boring" systems are the gateway to creative freedom
• The simple framework to stop procrastinating on SOPs
• How to build a business that runs on process, not just people
• The first steps to automating your operations today
