The Scariest Hire We Made

Ever feel like your business is slowly crushing you? 

You fought hard to get past $2M. 

You’ve hired staff. Signed big clients. Delivered decent projects. 

On paper, you should feel proud. 

But in reality? You feel trapped. 

Why?  

Because every fire still lands on your desk. 

Every staff problem. Every invoice. Every annoying client. 

You’re across delivery, admin, HR, finance… 

All while trying to “steer the ship” in the right direction.  

Instead of freedom, growth has only added weight. 

Instead of breathing easier, you’re slowly suffocating under all the responsibility. 

And the worst part? 

The harder you work, the less effective you become. 

Your days blur together… endless, reactive, exhausting. 

Your best thinking time gets chewed up putting out fires. 

And at night, you lie awake wondering: how much longer can I keep this up? 

Here’s the truth no one tells you. 

You don’t stall at $3M because of the market. 

You stall because you’re still the bottleneck. 

That was our reality when we were growing our consulting business, until we committed to our scariest hire to date.  

We hired a GM. 

The biggest and most expensive hire we’d ever made at that phase of business.  

But also - the single biggest reason we were able to rapidly grow to $10M and beyond.  

And in this week’s podcast episode, I’ll show you: 

- The hidden cost of “saving” money by doing it all yourself 

- How one GM with no engineering background became the bridge to freedom 

- Why the hire that scares you most is the exact one that unlocks growth 

This is about more than just growing your business. 

This is about reclaiming your time, your sanity and your life.
