In this monologue, the speaker shares a hard‑truth insight about scaling a business: the founder or primary coach must relinquish the role of being the sole go‑to person. By ‘killing’ the personal dependency and allowing others to step into leadership, the leader can support the team rather than seek personal significance. This shift from self‑focused significance to contributing to others’ growth is presented as essential for expanding a team and the business. The speaker also notes that the skills that made the founder successful individually are often the opposite of what’s needed to grow a team, so new capabilities must be learned to maximize team performance and business forward momentum.

And I think one of, it's not necessarily a hard, well, it is kind of a hard truth is that for me, one of the hard truths was if I wanna grow my business, the death of the guy, you know, I'm the guy that you came for coaching, the death of that needs to occur and you actually need to let other people be the guy or the girl. And letting go of that and being happy, happier actually, not even happy, I'd say happier Supporting others and realizing that's actually gonna get you growth. Contributing rather than looking for significance of about you, what about others? And I think it's not necessarily like quote unquote a hard truth, but it is a reality. If you wanna grow a team, if you wanna grow people, you need to show up for them, not for yourself. And that's probably been a recurring because the same skills to get you successful in business is almost the complete opposite that you need to learn to grow your business forward, especially when it comes to maximizing your team.
