The Hidden Cost of Being Indispensable

Why Leaders Who Cannot Step Away May Have Built the Wrong Kind of Success

There is something curious about success.

Many leaders dream of building a business that gives them freedom. Yet somewhere along the way, they become the one person the business cannot function without.

On July 9th, I will be joined by Will Steel, whose work helps business owners uncover the blind spots and beliefs that keep them trapped in businesses they were hoping would set them free.

Together, we will explore why working harder is not always the answer, why breakthroughs often begin with better questions, and what it means to build success without becoming a prisoner of it.
