Get Your Evenings Back
A hands-on workshop for small-business owners who've become the bottleneck in their own business.

Description

You're the first one in and the last one out. If you don't do it, it doesn't get done — so you work the nights and the weekends, and the business still can't run without you. Here's the good news: that's not a work-ethic problem, and it's not a people problem. It's a system problem — and systems can be redesigned.

In this hands-on, 90-minute workshop, Jerry Peterson walks owners through a simple, repeatable way to stop being the bottleneck and start reclaiming their time. You won't just take notes — you'll build a real plan in the room and leave with your first move for this week.

What you'll leave with

• A completed Time Audit showing exactly where your week goes — and which tasks are quietly stealing your evenings.
• Your first handoff: one task to get off your plate, who takes it, and the first step you'll make this week.
• One simple way to make the work visible, so you stop being the human status-report your team keeps interrupting.
• A clear, written plan you can act on Monday — not a folder of notes you'll never open.

Who it's for: owners, founders, and managers who feel like the business can't run without them.

Presenter: Jerry Peterson — Enterprise Agile & AI coach, founder of RightSide Inc., and author of Raising the Dead. He helps leaders turn disengaged teams into fully engaged ones by fixing the system, not working people harder.
