Ever wondered what would happen if you walked away from your business for a week? Chances are—it wouldn’t survive. That’s because most equine business owners have built a business that owns them, not the other way around. In this episode, I break down how it happens, what the real costs are, and the foundational shifts you can make today to move from burnout to true leadership.

In This Episode You'll Hear:

• The difference between being the face and the foundation of your business

• How over-functioning creates dependency—not sustainability

• Why pricing yourself too low and guilt around delegating are red flags

• Three strategic shifts to begin building a business that runs without you

Key Takeaways:

1. Run a time audit like a CEO—what can you hand off, automate, or eliminate?

2. Fee for sustainability—not to keep everyone happy

3. Ask yourself weekly: “If I stepped away next week, what would fall apart?”
