Most business owners think the path to growth is doing more — but what if that mindset is actually holding you back?

In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, co-host John Williams is joined by David McGhee, a Business Performance Coach with over 20 years of experience helping six-figure business owners scale to seven figures — without burning out.

David shares why focusing less on growth can actually accelerate it, and how aligning your vision, leadership, and daily operations is the real key to breaking through plateaus.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why high performers often confuse activity with real progress — and how to fix it.
• How shifting from “goals” to “targets” can improve execution and reduce frustration.
• The three biggest mistakes business owners make when trying to scale.
• Why money is a mechanism — not the end goal — and how to align your business with what truly matters.
• How shorter work cycles (like 6-week sprints) can dramatically improve productivity and results.
• The difference between coaching, mentoring, training, and teaching — and which one you actually need
• And more!

Tune in to learn how to break through growth ceilings, reclaim your time, and build a business that supports your life — not consumes it.
