You don't want a business that looks good on paper but feels like hell to run. I'm qualified to say this because I built one (more than once).
Seven figures, great margins, solid team.
And it nearly cost me everything that actually mattered.
My energy. My family. My freedom.
So I burned it to the ground. Just kidding, but I did sell it.
Took the lessons. Rebuilt better.
Now I help other founders avoid the same trap.
This episode breaks down what actually gets you from $100K/month and stuck...
to $250K+/month with a life you actually want to wake up to.
Here's what we cover:
• Why most coaches plateau at $100K/month (and what to do about it) • The real shift from founder to CEO • The structural changes needed to scale without killing your lifestyle • The chessboard strategy: how to pick your piece (or leave the board entirely) • The moment I realised "being the CEO" was my biggest bottleneck • What team culture really takes (hint: it starts with how you show up) • The power of removing your own label and playing a better role • Why selling the company didn't mean retiring... it meant choosing a better game
If you're scaling a coaching or expert business...
And it's starting to feel more like a prison than a pathway, This one's for you.
And it's the truth I wish I'd heard earlier.
