Episode Synopsis
In this solo episode, host Greg Woleck tackles a growing challenge in the remodeling industry: over-processing. You’ve likely heard the phrase “over-analysis leads to paralysis”—and Greg dives deep into how that shows up in remodeling businesses that are trying to grow, professionalize, and protect the client experience.Greg shares a powerful message: systems are meant to support your team—not stall them out. Drawing on real-world experience, the 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle), and the concept of Minimum Viable Process, he breaks down how to simplify your systems while maintaining clarity, quality, and results.Key Topics Covered:Why too much process can become a problemThe difference between helpful structure and paralyzing bureaucracy“Systemize the predictable so you can humanize the exceptional”Applying the Pareto Principle to your business systemsHow to identify the “vital few” systems that actually move the needleThe power of Minimum Viable ProcessSmall, repeatable habits that outperform overbuilt systemsExamples of daily huddles, Friday reviews, and verbal confirmation loopsHow to create a living system your team can evolve in the fieldActionable Takeaways:Identify and simplify one process in your business this week that feels too heavy or overly complex.Use Greg’s filter: Does this process create clarity, save time, or reduce risk?Focus on building systems that are used, not just documented.Empower your team to improve systems from the field.Got a Story or Feedback?
