In my corporate world, one of my mentors called me Chaos Coordinator and it kind of stuck. Then I realized coordinating the mess wasn't the goal — getting rid of it was. On this show, I sit down with small business owners, contractors, and the people building things from the ground up to talk about what actually running a business looks like: the systems that save you, the fires you didn't see coming, and the moments you figure out how to eliminate the chaos instead of just managing it. No polish, no pretending it's easy. Just real conversations about how businesses actually get built and kept running.

    #1: Rejected by Clown School, Laid Off After Baby #2: How I Built a 10-Year Business Anyway

    Welcome to The Chaos Eliminator, where small business chaos comes to die. In this first episode, host Lana Sanderson shares the real story behind GalsCC. It starts with applying to every school imaginable (including actual clown school) and getting in nowhere. It continues through seven years in consulting being told to "just do your job." Then came a layoff right after the birth of her second child. The next day, with a baby on her lap, Lana wrote a business plan, updated her LinkedIn, and landed her first client that same weekend.  Ten years later, GalsCC is a team of women consultants supporting small business owners across the U.S. and Canada, despite everyone who said it wouldn't last. Real business. Real systems. No fluff.
