Feeling stuck on the entrepreneurial hamster wheel? In this episode, I break down the critical difference between working in your business versus on it—and why this mindset shift is key to breaking through your growth ceiling.

Like many passionate business owners, I know what it’s like to wear all the hats—handling every task from client calls to coffee runs. But that level of hands-on hustle eventually becomes a bottleneck. If your business depends entirely on your time and energy, it can only grow so far.

Drawing inspiration from The E-Myth Revisited, I share five practical strategies to help you step fully into your role as the visionary leader your business needs. We’ll talk about how to carve out sacred “founder’s time,” build systems that run without you, delegate with confidence, and set strategic KPIs that actually move the needle.

I also share a real-life example of a graphic designer who tripled her agency’s revenue while cutting her work hours in half—just by shifting how she worked. It’s proof that with the right mindset and tools, you can lead with clarity, scale with confidence, and actually enjoy the freedom you set out to create.
