Description

Four years ago, I made one of the scariest decisions of my life, I walked away from behind the chair. My books were full, the money was great, and from the outside, everything looked perfect… but I was exhausted. I knew deep down that if I wanted to hit big numbers and do big things, I couldn’t keep operating the same way.

Sometimes, you have to quit really cool, money-making things to get to where you actually want to be.

This week’s episode is a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the five things I quit that helped me hit my first million-dollar year. These shifts didn’t happen overnight, but they changed everything about how I lead, grow, and think as a CEO.

Here’s a peek inside:
☑ The moment I quit doing hair (and how that single decision tripled our salon’s revenue)
☑ Why doing it all yourself keeps you small and how hiring the right help changed the game
☑ The uncomfortable truth about avoiding your numbers (and how data became my superpower)
☑  What happened when I stopped holding onto money so tightly and started investing strategically
☑ The costly mistake of “hiring anyone with a heartbeat” and how I fixed our culture for good

This episode will challenge you to look at what you might be white-knuckling in your own business, the things that feel safe but are actually keeping you stuck.

If you’re ready to make more by doing less, this one’s for you.

Your permission slip: Quit something on purpose. Because once you do, the coolest opportunities start to open up for you.

🎧 Listen now and start thinking like the million-dollar CEO you’re becoming.
