The Challenge of Building a Self-Running Business

Many business owners feel overwhelmed, believing their companies are running them rather than vice versa. The podcast discusses the concept of building a business that can operate independently, allowing owners to enjoy personal time or focus on sales and management rather than firefighting daily issues. It emphasizes the importance of intentionality in creating a company structure that allows for growth without constant owner involvement. This can range from taking vacations to grooming a business for future sale or management transition.
