Why Self-Reliance Becomes the Growth Ceiling for Biz Owners | Reeder Trausch Marine - Monty Anderson

Описание: Most business owners pride themselves on being capable, dependable, and self-reliant. Early on, that mindset fuels growth. Eventually, it becomes the very thing that stalls it.

In this episode of Self-Made Is a Myth, Coach Tim Campsall sits down with Monty Anderson, owner of RTM, a fast-growing marine sales, service, and storage company. Monty shares how relying too heavily on himself quietly capped growth, strained culture, and pulled him deeper into the day-to-day.

Monty walks through the real shift that had to happen, letting go of “no one can do it as well as me,” investing in training, tools, and time, and learning how leadership and management must evolve as a company scales. With nearly 80 team members across multiple locations, Monty explains why delegation without systems is chaos, and why systems without training fail just as fast.

If you are an owner who feels buried in decisions, frustrated by team performance, or worried the business would stall without you, this conversation will hit close to home.
