How to Double Your Business in 90 Days Without Being the Bottleneck

You want to grow your business. You want more freedom. But you're stuck making every single decision, and your team keeps coming to you for answers. That's not a team problem. That's a systems problem. In this episode, Tim and Steph break down exactly how to double your business in the next 90 days without needing you in it. They share the three part framework they've used to scale past $15 million while working less, traveling more, and building a team that actually makes decisions without you. You'll hear the PSR framework that stops your team from dumping every problem back on your plate, why hiring key decision makers in sales, marketing, and operations is the only way to get out of the day to day, and the ultimate test that shows you exactly what's broken in your business. They also get into why most founders stay the bottleneck because they secretly love being needed, how to train your team to think like you using company values, and the story of how hiring an operations manager freed up Tim's mental energy to focus on creative work and growth instead of failed payments and Slack messages. This is the exact playbook they used to go from working seven days a week to taking weeks off without the business falling apart.
