Mike Andes argues that the habits that built your business become obstacles when you scale. Founders proud of their tight operations resist delegating, but micromanaging blocks both strategic decisions and team morale. You have to shift from hands-on execution to leadership.
And that's why most of us will stay, like, be trapped in our business, is because what has served us so well and got us to where we're at now is the exact thing we have to shed that skin in order to get to the next level. And so this— I also have a lot of pride in my efficiency. Yeah. Like, everything is dialed in. You have not heard this phone ring, like nothing like that. It's the same thing that will keep me from getting to a bigger business because I take pride in being efficient versus at your size of business, the best thing you can do is be a good leader and make good decisions. You jeopardize both of those when you try to get into everyone's business. You're not good at your role making decisions, and you make everyone else frustrated when you're jumping in.
