647 - The Cost of Figuring It Out Alone
Description
Ever feel like you're burning through tactics (LinkedIn, conferences, outbound) with nothing sticking while your spouse picks up the financial slack? You're smart enough to execute anything, but you're making million-dollar decisions about equity, offshore teams, and pipeline strategy completely alone. Your peer group can't help because they're still solopreneurs. Your casual mentors give generic advice. And you'd pay someone a fortune just to tell you what you did wrong in the last 12 months. Two consultants I spoke with, both mid-to-high six figures and both technically brilliant, were living this exact reality. One's a Salesforce partner wrestling with niche versus product focus. The other's an Airtable partner navigating equity deals with a peer group that's outgrown. In this episode, I break down why strategic isolation kills growth and reveal the three things you can't get from your current support system: pattern recognition across multiple businesses, permission to challenge your assumptions, and execution frameworks that compress time.
