The 4 Core Systems Every Business Needs – Maternity Leave Roadmap #7

Growing Pains | Where Business Owners Come to Plan Maternity Leave

Most founders are stuck in the weeds not because they’re doing something wrong—but because their business is missing a system.

In this episode of the Maternity Leave Roadmap series, I’m sharing the four core systems every business needs to operate without you. Whether you’re solo or have a small team, these categories will give you a framework to assess what’s working, what’s missing, and what needs to be strengthened before you take maternity leave.

If you’ve been running on hustle and instinct, this is your moment to pause, stabilize, and build a business that’s actually set up to support you while you're away.

• Why operating “off the cuff” only works for so long
• What a system actually is—and how it differs from a task or tool
• How to simplify your business by building one core process per category
• Why this work is the foundation for confidently stepping away

This Episode’s Homework:
Review the four systems in your business: lead generation, conversion, fulfillment, and improvement. Identify which one feels weakest right now and brainstorm one small way to start strengthening it this week.
