About this listen

 Business problems feel overwhelming because you're trying to fix everything at once. Fix My Business cuts through the noise by answering one real question per episode—giving you clarity, a clear diagnosis, and one action you can take this week. Hosted by author and entrepreneur Scott Todd, this show isn't about theory or motivation. It's about solving the actual problems that keep business owners stuck: revenue up but profit down, marketing that doesn't work, chaos that won't stop, and the constant feeling that you're one step behind. Scott left a Fortune 300 VP role to build multiple seven-figure companies. His book, Fix This Next for Real Estate Investors (releasing January 2026), introduced the Investor Priority Pyramid (IPP)—a framework for knowing exactly what to fix next when everything feels urgent. Now, he's bringing that same diagnostic approach to business owners across every industry. What makes this show different: Every episode starts with a real question from a real business owner. Scott diagnoses the actual problem (not the surface symptom), explains why it's happening, and gives you one clear move to make progress this week. No 10-step plans. No vague advice. Just: here's what's wrong, here's why, here's what to do. You'll learn how to: -Identify the real problem hiding underneath the chaos -Use frameworks like the Investor Priority Pyramid (IPP), the Survival Trap, and the Scaling Trap to understand where you're stuck -Fix margin erosion, cash flow issues, and operational breakdowns -Build systems that let your business run without running you -Move from grinding for revenue to printing profit Scott's background spans over three decades in corporate leadership (Fortune 300 executive in IT, operations, and finance) and entrepreneurship (Landmodo, Passion IT Group, and other ventures). He thinks like an operator, not a guru. His frameworks—IPP, the Freedom Number Formula, ACRE, and the DREAMS Framework—translate complex strategy into simple, repeatable actions. This show is for: -Business owners working harder but taking home less -Entrepreneurs stuck in the Survival Trap (revenue grows, chaos grows faster) -Operators who want clarity on what to fix first when everything feels broken -Anyone tired of motivational advice who wants tactical, diagnostic problem-solving Each episode includes: -The Question: A real problem from a real business owner -The Diagnosis: What's actually wrong (the thing you can't see on your own) -The Action: One move you can make this week to fix it If you're ready to stop guessing and start fixing, this is your show. Scott Todd is an entrepreneur, real estate investor, and author of Fix This Next for Real Estate Investors (January 2026). He's the creator of the Investor Priority Pyramid™ and the Freedom Number™ framework. Through his companies, writing, and this podcast, he helps business owners escape overwhelm and build businesses that operate without consuming their lives. Learn more at ScottTodd.net.B.

  • What Should I Automate First in My Business?

    What Should I Automate First in My Business?
    Feb 19 2026

    Ryan asks: "What should I automate first in my business? And what is the biggest automation mistake?"

    In this episode, Scott kills the "silver bullet" myth, shares the pain point rule and his VP whiteboard story, and reveals the A-to-C framework for micro-steps instead of trying to automate everything at once. You'll learn why elimination comes before automation, the three biggest automation mistakes (not mapping process first, choosing tools before process, automating chaos), and why you're not actually getting left behind in the AI race.

    The bottom line: Find the pain point. Eliminate if possible. Map the process. Micro-step (A to C). Then find the tool. You cannot automate chaos.

  • I Have a Full-Time Job—How Do I Find Time for My Side Hustle?

    I Have a Full-Time Job—How Do I Find Time for My Side Hustle?
    Feb 17 2026

    Eric asks: "I work full-time and I'm trying to grow my side hustle. It's so hard to find time to observe my team's work and make more calls. What's your secret when working full time?"

    In this episode, Scott reveals why "I don't have time" is really a discipline issue, shares his own 8-11 PM time blocking experience while raising kids, and breaks down the micro-chunking technique most people miss. You'll learn why Ben Franklin was a time blocking advocate, how to defend your time ruthlessly, and why escape velocity requires protecting your calendar at all costs.

    The bottom line: Block your time. Micro-chunk it. Defend it with honor. That's the only way out.

  • I Finally Got the Growth I Wanted—And Now Everything Is Harder

    I Finally Got the Growth I Wanted—And Now Everything Is Harder
    Feb 12 2026

    Jake asks: "I finally got the growth I wanted, and now everything is harder. More leads but I'm dropping half. More revenue but cash flow is a mess. More deals and every new one creates new issues. What should I have put in place before I scaled?"

    In this episode, Scott delivers a counterintuitive truth (growth is not always the goal), explains why you cannot scale chaos, and shares two stories—his own company nearly shutting down, and a multifamily investor whose back office collapsed at scale. You'll learn the doubling test (can you handle 2X before 10X?), why scaling is like building an airplane in flight, and why slowing down is sometimes the fastest way forward.

    The bottom line: Before you hit the gas, slow down. Make sure your systems can handle double. Then scale. You cannot scale chaos.
