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.
