"There's gotta be another way...there has to be a better way."

In this episode of the Master Delegator podcast, Kristy Yoder sits down with Scott Ritzheimer, a seasoned entrepreneur who has helped over 20,000 organizations start and scale. Despite beginning his entrepreneurial journey unexpectedly, Scott has built and sold successful businesses, bringing deep insights into the common challenges founders face.

Scott shares his unique journey from initially not aspiring to be an entrepreneur to falling in love with business. He discusses the loneliness that often accompanies leadership roles and how discovering predictable business life cycle stages changed his perspective and business trajectory. Scott describes the transformative power of recognizing patterns in business growth and the relief and direction it brings to founders feeling stuck.

The episode touches on stages of entrepreneurial evolution, emphasizing the importance of different skills and mindsets at each stage. Scott highlights how founders can navigate these stages effectively, fitting their vision of freedom and success.

Key Takeaways:

  • Founders often face loneliness and isolation; recognizing you're on a shared path can bring relief and direction.
  • Business growth has distinct stages; understanding your current stage can illuminate the way forward.
  • The skills required in early stages, like problem-solving, differ from later stages that require delegation and leadership.
  • Scaling your business doesn't inherently make it better; know what kind of growth aligns with your goals.


As Scott insightfully noted: "The greatest freedom changes by stage." Recognizing and embracing the joy of your current business stage is key to achieving balance and success, reinforcing that bigger isn't always better.
