With a bold vision to impact 100,000 business owners and help create 500,000 jobs, Talmar specializes in leadership development, strategic hiring, and organizational frameworks that turn overwhelmed operators into confident CEOs. Her work goes beyond growth; she helps business owners become the leaders their companies have been waiting for.In this episode, Dante and Talmar discuss:Why most business owners get stuck wearing every hat and how to break freeThe difference between facilitators, managers, and true implementation leadersHow the span of capacity limits growth and creates hidden leadership crisesWhy is scalability a stronger predictor of revenue than sales aloneBuilding leadership structures that allow CEOs to step out of daily operationsKey Takeaways: Many business owners believe growth requires working harder, but real growth comes from building the right leadership structure. When CEOs stop being the bottleneck, teams gain clarity, momentum, and ownership.Scalability must come before revenue growth. Without the right people, systems, and workflows, revenue increases only add stress and instability rather than sustainable success.Hiring for potential too early is one of the biggest traps small business owners fall into. Until a company is stable and profitable, leaders must hire people who can deliver results immediately, not someday.Span of capacity is a silent killer of growth. When seven to ten people report directly to a CEO, confusion, burnout, and misalignment become inevitable without management layers.True CEOs create space on their calendars. Unstructured time isn’t a luxury. It’s essential for strategic thinking, leadership, and long-term business health. “As the CEO, you need unstructured, unrequired time. That's how you will best serve your company, and it feels completely the opposite, but we have to constantly be peeling away from your own.” - Talmar AndersonConnect with Talmar Anderson:Website: https://yourbosshq.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/talmar-anderson-hiring-strategy/ Book with Talmar: https://vip.yourbosshq.com/zoomwithtalmar Connect with Dante Royster:Website: https://www.danteroyster.com/Epic Mortgage Website: Epic Mortgage, Inc.
