#115 Your Business Is Growing. So Why Aren't You Getting Richer? (Ernest Smith)

What happens when you're working harder than ever, growing your business, and still realizing that the business model isn't working for you? In this episode of The Solo 2 Entrepreneur Show, I sit down with Ernest Smith to unpack his journey from real estate investing and construction to thinking like a true entrepreneur. From managing 18 employees and discovering the hidden costs of growth to exploring business acquisitions, AI agents, and scalable business models, Ernest shares the lessons that changed how he approaches business. We also dive into the realities of balancing entrepreneurship with fatherhood, building relationships that open unexpected doors, and having the courage to step into rooms you never imagined you'd enter. His reminder? Don't limit yourself to what you know today. Sometimes, your biggest breakthrough starts when you dare to amaze yourself. If you're a solopreneur, trades business owner, or entrepreneur ready to stop working harder and start building smarter, this conversation is for you.
