The $40K Decision That Cost Us $60K a Month | Real Q1 Business Review

Most business owners finish Q1 and either celebrate or make excuses. The ones who actually scale do something different — they study it. In this episode, Evan breaks down how a single operational blind spot cost Coconut Cleaning $60,000 a month — not because of the market, not because of bad leads, but because of a decision that seemed responsible at the time. Cameron gets equally honest about missing a major growth goal for the 1% Club and exactly what he's restructuring to fix it heading into Q2. This is what a real quarterly business review looks like. In this episode, we cover: How a $40K repair decision quietly turned into a $60K/month revenue leak Why having enough leads doesn't matter if your operations can't fulfill them What real ownership looks like beyond just saying "that's on me" How to identify the metrics that tell you when something is quietly going wrong Cameron's honest pivot when a big goal doesn't go as planned Why customer experience has to be the foundation of every quarterly goal you set How to cut what isn't working and double down on what is — before Q2 gets away from you If you're a business owner heading into Q2 wondering why Q1 didn't go the way you planned — this episode will show you exactly where to look.
