Descripción

You're making good money. Nice holidays, business class flights, the lot. But you're stuck on your phone the whole time, missing dinners, missing school pickups, running on empty. That's not a business. That's a high-paying job you can't leave. In this episode I break down why so many business owners at the $500k to $1M mark are quietly miserable and what the actual way out looks like. It's not about working harder. It's about using the profit you've already built to buy back your time through team, AI, and systems that don't need you in the middle of everything. In this episode: -Why making good money doesn't mean you've actually made it -The trap that keeps successful business owners working 60+ hour weeks -The profit, leverage, lifestyle order and why most people get it wrong If that resonates, send me a DM on Instagram or Facebook and let's chat.

Ep123: Fire Yourself - Your Team Can't Grow Until You Get Out of Their Way

You've got a team. But they're still coming to you for everything. Every decision, every question, every "just checking in." You built a team and somehow ended up with more on your plate, not less. That's not a team problem. That's a you problem. In this episode I break down why business owners stay stuck in the middle of their own team, the difference between donkeys, horses and stallions, and what it actually looks like to hand over responsibility and get out of the way for good. In this episode: * The donkey, horse and stallion framework — and why you need to fire the donkeys * Why getting out of the way isn't lazy, it's literally your job at this level * How to set up your team so they run on KPIs and stop relying on you to function Find out how to get 20 hours/week back - https://leveragedceo.com.au/optin
