Scaling a business from six to eight figures isn’t just about better marketing or hiring more people — it’s about evolving the entrepreneur behind the business. In this episode, we break down the real barriers to growth — the owner’s mindset and the business model — and explore what it takes to overcome them.

You’ll learn why your business can only grow as fast as you do, how to identify when your business model has hit a ceiling, and the power of continuous education and reinvention. Using the metaphor of upgrading “opportunity vehicles,” the episode explains how different business models — from taxis to rockets — determine how far and fast you can go.

We also unpack:

Why systems, profit margins, and cash flow are the real levers of scale.

The importance of quitting non-scalable models and pivoting early.

How to balance delivery vs. development to move from chaos to mastery.

The undervalued but essential skill of risk-taking and “choosing your hard.”

Whether you’re stuck at six figures or scaling past seven, this episode challenges you to upgrade your mindset, re-evaluate your vehicle, and commit to the process of becoming the leader your next level requires.
