The Real Reason You’re Not Scaling — And What to Fix First [Episode 215]
Description
You don’t have a time problem — you have a priority problem.
And that’s why your business isn’t scaling.
In this episode of the CEO Sales Strategies Podcast, Doug C. Brown is joined by former $3B CEO-turned-leadership coach John Nieuwenburg to reveal the real reason most businesses stall between $500K and $15M.
They break down:
✅ Why founder-led growth hits a ceiling
✅ How to step out of “doing mode” and into true leadership
✅ What systems to build — and what to delegate — to grow with less effort
✅ How to stop being the bottleneck in your own business
If you're overwhelmed, overcommitted, and under-leveraged… this conversation is the wake-up call you need.
Listen now to shift from survival to scale.
