The Boschetto Bulletin - Scale Smart

I once worked for a fast-growing business that looked GREAT on the surface.

Revenue was up. The team was expanding.

But internally? Execution was a mess.

Employees were overworked. Decisions dragged. Ops felt like quicksand.

The company wasn’t scaling the business — they were scaling inefficiency. And by the time they realized it, it had already cost them six figures in wasted time, duplicate efforts, and missed growth windows.

That’s the danger of Execution Debt™ — you don’t feel it until it’s already eating into your margins.

🎯 Execution Playbook: Diagnose Leaking Revenue

Execution Debt™ isn’t a buzzword.

It’s the silent drag on growth that shows up when businesses move fast without tightening the backend.

Here’s three signs to help spot Execution Debt™ and leaking revenue:

1. You’re Adding Headcount to Solve Process Issues

Hiring should unlock scale - not act as a Band-Aid. If you’re throwing people at bottlenecks instead of fixing the systems behind them, you’re multiplying chaos.

Ask: What percentage of your team’s time is spent compensating for unclear processes?

2. Projects are “Done” But No One is Using Them

“Launched” doesn’t mean “delivered.” If your internal tools, initiatives, or features aren’t creating value, you’re not executing — you’re shelf-building.

Ask: What was the last thing your team launched that actually changed a business outcome?

3. Decisions Take Too Long — And Nobody Owns the Outcome

When every decision needs a meeting, a memo, or five approvals… you're not scaling. You're stalling.

Ask: What’s one decision your team could have made last week but didn’t?

The Fix: Run a 30-Day MVE Sprint

Minimum Viable Execution means moving fast, but with precision. Pick one friction point, assign clear ownership, and test a fix — without reorgs or red tape.

Start small. Move fast. Measure impact.

💡 Smart Business Move of the Week

Execution Debt™ builds up quietly — through unclear priorities, soft expectations, and slow decision-making.

In Amp It Up, Frank Slootman pushes for clarity, focus, and outcome-driven execution. It’s about setting the pace and aligning the entire business around what truly moves the needle.

Key Insight:
When expectations are clear, execution gets clearer.

🚀 Fix Your Execution Debt™ Now

Most businesses are losing $10K+ a year from Execution Debt™ — but they don’t realize it until it’s too late.

⚡️ Execution Power-Up: The Friction Flag

Every Monday, ask your team:
“What’s one thing that made your work harder than it should’ve been last week?”

You don’t need a long report — just one honest answer.
You’ll be surprised what surfaces when you ask consistently.

Fix one friction point each week. That’s 52 cleanups a year.
No new tools. No overhauls. Just steady momentum.

I recently joined the Healthy Mind, Healthy Life podcast to talk about why burnout is so common among entrepreneurs — and how to build a business that actually works for you.

If you’re feeling stuck in the hustle cycle, buried in to-do lists, or just exhausted from trying to do it all, this episode will help you reset your approach.

Key Takeaway: More hours don’t equal more success. Execution Debt™ builds when we mistake busy work for real progress. Fix the friction, and you’ll free up time, energy, and results.
