You’re great at what you do. Your clients love you. 
 

But deep down, you know this isn’t sustainable. 

Long hours. Too much delivery. And growth? It's stalled. 
 

You didn’t start your consultancy to feel like an underpaid, overworked employee again. 

In this episode, I break down why being a great technician isn’t enough to build a great business… 

… and the mindset shifts every engineering, town planning, surveying and architecture consultancy owner must make if they want to scale beyond $1M, $2M and up to $10M+. 

We’ll cover: 

• Why your technical skills actually cap your growth past 500K–1M 

• The hidden cost of staying “billable” as the founder 

• The roadmap from Technician → Conductor → Lifestyle Business Owner 

• How to lead a high-performing team (even if you’ve never managed before) 

• Why EQ, strategy, and positioning matter more than ever in 2025 

If you're stuck doing too much yourself and want to finally build a business that gives you more time, more freedom, and bigger impact, this is the episode. 

It’s time to step off the tools and start leading like a true business owner.
