If you can explain the problem to a mentor, or even write it down, you will more likely get to the root cause quickly, and avoid emotional and blame-infused responses.

Is this the definition of success you want to experience? It’s easier to use screen-captures and notes on existing processes, rather than write detailed manuals. Focus on satisfying your ideal and best customers. Frankly, I’ve never been sure what to tell entrepreneurs who want to break free of these bonds. Some are just stuck.
