468 – Why You’re Working Hard and Going Nowhere (Fix This First)

What if the same decision-making system used by fighter pilots in the Vietnam War is the exact framework separating 7-figure CEOs from entrepreneurs spinning their wheels? In this episode, Craig Ballantyne pulls back the curtain on the presentation he delivers exclusively to his $40,000-a-year mastermind members — and reveals why most business owners are working harder than ever while quietly moving in the wrong direction. You’ll discover the hidden loop that’s keeping you stuck, why your biggest bottleneck probably isn’t what you think it is, and the brutally honest exercise that forces you to confront every weakness silently draining your revenue. Craig breaks down his 95/5 framework — the ruthless system that frees elite CEOs from the day-to-day grind so they can focus exclusively on the decisions that actually move the needle. If you’re ready to stop putting 10-out-of-10 effort into 1-out-of-10 problems and finally attack the constraint that’s standing between you and your best year ever, this episode is your blueprint. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Let me know what you think of today’s episode!
