🎙 Episode 20 – Hope Is Not a System with T2 & Tommy P If your business plan sounds like “I hope this job makes money” or “I hope the crew shows up,” it’s time for a reality check. 

In this episode, T2 and Tommy P unpack why “winging it” isn’t a strategy—and how the lack of systems is what’s really draining your profits, time, and sanity. 

💡 You’ll learn: 

  • What “hope” looks like in real-world businesses (and why it’s killing your margins) 
  • The critical systems every business needs: sales, pricing, hiring, ops, and financials 
  • How systems drive predictability, trainability, and profitability—without micromanaging 
  • Where to start if you’re overwhelmed or just too busy to build structure 

🔥 TPM Challenge of the Week: Identify one area where you’re operating on hope. Document a simple process this week. Test it. Tweak it. Repeat.
