Stop Wasting Time in Spreadsheets - A Better Way to Work - Therman Trotman - The Sharepoint Helpdesk

Why do so many small business owners drown in documents, spreadsheets, and endless emails? According to Therman Trotman, also known as Mr. SharePoint, it is not a technology problem. It is a leadership problem.

In this episode of Small Business, Big Engine, host Grant Fisher sits down with Therman, founder of SharePoint Help Desk, to unpack how small businesses can stop running on chaos and start creating real systems of productivity using the tools they already own.

Therman did not plan to build a business around SharePoint. In fact, he stumbled into it by accident. What began as a simple automation for scheduling meetings turned into a career helping organizations unlock the hidden potential of Microsoft 365. Today, he is passionate about showing leaders how to create one-stop workspaces, simplify their operations, and get their teams actually excited about using SharePoint.

This conversation dives deep into:

Why “too many documents” signals a leadership problem, not just a tech problem
The surprising power of SharePoint lists, sites, and libraries (and why they beat Word and Excel for business processes)
How small business leaders can stop thinking “email first” and start thinking “hub first”
The common mistakes organizations make with Microsoft 365 and how to fix them
Why adoption is not about technology at all but about people and relationships
How branding your internal tools (instead of calling them “SharePoint”) can drive adoption
Simple mindset shifts that help teams embrace new systems instead of resisting them

Therman brings energy, real-world examples, and his signature analogies (like why using a spreadsheet instead of SharePoint is like eating cereal with a fork) to make system design simple and accessible for any business owner.

If you have ever been frustrated by SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, or the chaos of endless files, this episode will change the way you think about productivity.
