Andy Neary advises owners of lifestyle businesses that prioritizing short-term profit prevents scalable growth and leads to burnout.

This is a lifestyle business. I get it. And you got bills to pay. You got cars and houses to pay for. But if you want to grow, you're going to have to give up that short term profit before you can really start to scale the business.

And so that's my advice to you as we enter a new year. If you want to grow this year, even if you're a producer listening and where you don't own the business, what can you do? Who can you go look for to help you grow? Or what processes can you put in place to make growth a lot easier for you this year?
