If you’ve built the team, implemented the systems, and done everything you thought would make scaling easier—but you’re still overwhelmed and stretched thin—this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth: Your business is keeping you stuck.

👉 You hired a team, but they’re still relying on you for every decision.
👉 You built systems, but they still require you to be in the mix.
👉 You’re automating and optimizing—but somehow, things still feel heavy.

If scaling feels like more stress, not more freedom, something is broken.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into:
✔ Why your team isn’t actually saving you time (and how to fix that).
✔ How you’re accidentally creating more work for yourself—without realizing it.
✔ The biggest operational mistakes keeping you stuck at 6 figures.
✔ The decision-making frameworks that free you from approvals and micromanagement.
✔ How to finally build a business that runs WITHOUT you being in every detail.

It’s time to remove yourself as the bottleneck—FOR GOOD.
