S6 E37 Are You The Bottleneck In Your Own Business? How to Stop Being Your Most Expensive Employee
Description
Grab your coffee and settle in for some real talk about something that might sound like the dream scenario but could actually be holding your business back. Today I'm diving into why having ALL your clients come from referrals can become a trap that keeps you plateaued, overworked, and unable to scale. If you've been wondering why you feel like the bottleneck in your own business, this episode will give you the roadmap to break free.
