Before you set ambitious goals for 2026, ask yourself one critical question: Can your SYSTEMS actually support them? In this episode, burnout & systems strategist Ellyn Schinke walks you through the 3-question system audit that prevents the dreaded Q2 burnout and helps you scale sustainably.

Every January, entrepreneurs set big revenue goals, launch goals, and growth goals—then burn out by March because their systems weren't built to handle the scale. If it broke at $200K, it will absolutely shatter at $500K.

In this episode, you'll learn:

-The 3 system audit questions every entrepreneur needs to ask before setting 2026 goals

-How to identify the system gaps that are holding you back from scaling

-What to stop doing in 2026 to make room for sustainable growth

-The exact 4-step process to map your goals to the systems you need

This episode covers the SYSTEMS pillar of the Sustainable Success Framework.
