349: What Would Lu Do?: Part 4- Remove One Operational Bottleneck That Wastes Time Every Week

Today on Window Treatments for Profit

In Part 4 of the WWLD series, LuAnn Nigara breaks down how window treatment business owners unknowingly become the bottleneck and the one decision that restores time, clarity, and control.

In this episode of Window Treatments for Profit, we continue the WWLD January series with Decision #4: Remove One Operational Bottleneck That Wastes Time Every Week.

This is not about working harder or hiring faster.It’s about recognizing where you, as the owner, may be unintentionally slowing the business down.

LuAnn walks through real-world scenarios that window treatment business owners experience every day:

Orders delayed because the sale moved on but the backend didn’t
Installer details living in the owner’s head instead of a system
Schedule chaos caused by missing handoffs
Sales teams and admins doing their best without clear processes

Drawing lessons from candid conversations on A Well-Designed Business with Rebecca Hay, Beth Diana Smith, and Hilaire Pickett Martin, LuAnn connects the dots between anxiety, resistance, and leadership responsibility.

You’ll learn:

Why owner-operators often become the bottleneck without realizing it
How undocumented processes quietly erode profit, trust, and time
Why resistance to systems isn’t about being busy—it’s about fear
How removing just one bottleneck can immediately restore control

If your business relies on your memory, constant involvement, or last-minute fixes, this episode will hit close to home.

This is CEO-level thinking for window treatment professionals who want fewer fires, clearer systems, and a business that runs well—even when they’re not in the room.

Listen now and take the next step toward running your business like a business.
