A roadmap to sustainable success


You've tried everything to grow your business: increasing sales, streamlining processes, even burning the midnight oil. But something still feels off. What if the real problem isn't where you think it is?

In the latest episode of The Business You Really Want, Tonya Kubo and I reveal what’s often misunderstood when entrepreneurs think about business operations.

Here's a taste of what you'll discover:

  • Why the symptom and root cause of a problem may not be the same thing
  • The five key functions that make up your business engine
  • How misaligned operations can lead to failure — even when your sales are soaring
  • Why one-size-fits-all solutions rarely succeed in the long run

We’re going through the exact framework I’ve been using over the past several years to help my clients achieve sustainable success.

If you feel like you’re doing all the right things and still not getting the results you expect, this is the episode for you.

You can listen on Apple and Spotify, or watch on YouTube.

When you listen, make yourself known. Leave a review, a comment, or email Tonya with your thoughts on the episode.

Until next week,

Gwen Bortner
Founder/CEO, Everyday Effectiveness

Everyday Effectiveness | Biz Ops Exposed

Gwen Bortner is a no-nonsense Operational Strategist and Business Advisor with an intuitive coaching mindset. She helps visionary female entrepreneurs achieve their most ambitious goals without the stress and overwhelm of trying to do it all on their own. Her approach comes from the belief that personal and professional success looks different for everyone, and most business owners waste time and energy trying to conform to outside expectations and definitions of success. From finance to IT, and small business operations to academia, Gwen has seen cookie-cutter strategies put organizations on the fast track to frustration, burnout, and eventually failure. Problem-solving is her zone of genius, and Gwen can quickly discern the root cause of issues, simplify systems and processes, then create the most direct path to any given solution.
