Episode 177: The Bad Habit Every Firm Owner Must Break to Scale
Description
Most firm owners don’t realize they’ve built habits that keep them trapped inside their own business.
They’re working harder, staying later, and solving every problem themselves - but every time they step in, they take the job back.
In this episode of The Wize Way Podcast, Ed Chan breaks down the #1 habit that’s holding firm owners back - bypassing their team. He explains why every time you answer a client directly or fix an issue for your staff, you’re actually stopping your business from working without you.
You’ll learn:
✅ Why the “No Bypass Policy” is the hardest rule to follow but the one that sets you free
✅ How to stop being the bottleneck in your own firm
✅ The mindset shift that turns chaos into calm
✅ Practical ways to retrain yourself (and your team) to lead, not do
If you’re serious about scaling a business that runs without you, this conversation will hit home.
