416: The Bottleneck Trap: Why Your Service Business Can't Scale

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the "bottleneck trap," that sneaky phase where your business can't scale because every decision runs through you. It's not a motivation or hiring problem; it's about your leadership structure. I'll show you how to shift from operator to leader without lowering your standards or burning out. If you're ready to get out from under the weight of running everything, unleash your team's full potential, and finally have a business that runs with you, not on your back, this episode is a game-changer.
