Summary

What if the biggest thing holding your business back is... YOU? In this episode, Lori and I talk about how to recognize when you’re the problem and how to become the solution. We break down questions you need to ask yourself that will help you shift from stuck to scaling fast. We also dive into how your energy sets the tone for your entire team, why staying stuck in “pretty good” guarantees you’ll get left behind, and why proximity, mentorship, and massive action are your shortcuts to success.

Why “doing it yourself” is keeping you broke and stuck.
Why hiring the right team members accelerates your growth.
