Our co-founders are constantly fighting and our cash flow is highly volatile. Should we wait to resolve these internal conflicts and stabilize our revenue before we hire you, or do we use your sessions to fix them?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

If your cash flow is so volatile that you cannot guarantee making payroll next month, you are not ready for this process. Your immediate focus must be survival, not strategic planning. However, if your business is financially stable but you are holding back because of co-founder friction and messy internal operations, waiting is just a form of Resistance. Steven Pressfield writes that Resistance is an internal force that uses any excuse to delay hard work. Waiting for the perfect, conflict-free moment to start is a trap. That moment does not exist. We do not wait for your team to be perfectly aligned before we enter the room. In fact, our session days are designed to expose and resolve that exact friction. We use the Accountability Chart and the core EOS tools to remove personal egos from the equation. We transition the conversation from personal attacks to objective business needs. We evaluate if everyone GWC, meaning they get it, want it, and have the capacity to do the job. If you have a viable business but suffer from leadership misalignment, starting now is the only way to break the cycle. Do not let operational messiness be the excuse that keeps you from building a healthy, scalable business.
