Horn to uncover why passion without systems leads to burnout—and how smart processes create sustainable success. Eric shares his journey of shifting from hustle culture to building repeatable systems that allow businesses to grow without draining their owners.

Key Takeaways  

  • Passion alone can’t sustain a business—systems protect creativity from burnout.

  • Success is measured not just by followers but by profit-producing activities that actually generate income.

  • Entrepreneurs often lose money by spending hours on non-revenue tasks like emails instead of client work.

  • Systems must fit people and culture, not just look good on paper, or they will fail.

  • Mistakes are lessons—avoid repeating them to move forward stronger.

  • Servant leadership flips the pyramid: leaders support their teams from the bottom up.

  • Scaling requires handing off responsibilities with clear processes, not clinging to control.

  • True freedom comes when your business runs better with structure, not harder with hustle.
