Why You're the Bottleneck in Your Business (And How to Fix It)

Are you dangerously close to becoming the bottleneck in your own business? Recorded while walking through Zagreb (because I was literally about to become the bottleneck myself), this episode breaks down how to tell if you're holding up your own progress and what to do about it. What We Cover: → The signs you're becoming the bottleneck (hint: it's because you care too much, not too little) → The $1 bill vs. $100 bill framework for prioritizing your time → Three systems that stop the bottleneck before it starts → The responsiveness trap and how it trains you to become the answer person → Why meetings beat message marathons → Creating decision-making frameworks so your team knows what they own The Bottom Line: You're not removing yourself from your business.
