The Solopreneur Myth: Why Your Business Still Depends on You

Описание: Most service providers don’t actually have a business — they’ve built a very demanding job that collapses the second they stop working.

In this video, I’m breaking down why over-identifying with your business is keeping you stuck, burned out, and unable to scale — and what it actually means to build a business that functions like a machine instead of relying entirely on your energy.

We’re talking org charts, roles, systems, and the uncomfortable truth about solopreneurship. I walk you through the 4 core functions of a real business, the 3 levels every role falls into, and how to stop making CEO-level decisions while you’re stuck doing implementer work.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your own business, this episode will change how you think about what you’re actually building — and what needs to change next.
