Scaling You: The Inner Work Founders Must Consider to Grow Their Business
Your business isn’t stalled because of your systems, team, market conditions, or even strategy. It’s stalled because of something far more uncomfortable. Something most leadership advice completely misses.
You.
In this episode of Pivotal, I break down the hidden force driving every decision, every bottleneck, every high-stakes moment in your business: your identity as a founder. Not the role. Not the title. The real you behind it. The version of you that shows up under pressure, risk and uncertainty.
Most founders follow leadership advice built for corporations with layers of protection. But you don’t have that luxury. You are the business, which means your beliefs, fears, patterns and blind spots are either accelerating growth or quietly killing it.
This episode digs into:
• The biggest leadership mistake founders make without knowing it
• Why your identity shapes revenue more than your strategy
• How control, fear and avoidance sabotage growth from the inside
• Real-world examples of leadership patterns that cost companies millions
• What actually changes when a founder evolves into the leader their next stage demands
If you’re staring at a growth plateau, wondering what’s really going on, this conversation will give you a clear answer. And it might not be the answer you expected.
This is the work that separates founders who scale from those who stall.
Tune in, get honest, and see what version of you your business has been waiting for.
