The Bonus Plan That Backfired


Listen Later

At first, it seemed like a win.

A bonus structure designed to motivate, reward, and push growth.

But over time, something didn’t feel right.

In this episode, Elise shares the story behind a business decision that revealed a deeper truth about power, control, and leadership—and the moment she realized things weren’t as they appeared.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why not all incentives are created equal

• How to recognize control disguised as opportunity
• The importance of ownership in your business
• Red flags to watch for in partnerships and structures
• Making the decision to step into your own power

This episode was created for you—and if it resonated, don’t keep it to yourself.
