Grow your business, and optimize your team. In this episode of Premium Mindset, we break down the critical distinction between hiring a "helper" who just follows orders and a "leader" who takes ownership of results. Learn valuable insights and other must-know processes that every business owner, CEO, manager, should know.

Most entrepreneurs plateau at $1M, $3M, or $5M because they haven't found the process to elevating their employees. If you want to scale to $10M+, you have to replace yourself with leaders who add value into your business.

Inside this episode, we discuss:

• Defining the Leader: Why the best leaders are often the best followers first.
