Ever tried taking a week off from your business — without your phone, laptop, or WiFi?
No?
That’s not independence….
That’s adult babysitting.
And unfortunately, it’s the daily reality for even too many 7 figure business owners out there.
They’ve built businesses that rely on them for every little thing:
- Signing off on invoices
- Being the contact point for any customer escalations
- Reviewing every deal down to the absurd level.
- Needing to approve every decision like it’s life or death – even the routine boring ones.
If these sound like you, you’re not running a business.
You’re supervising toddlers in a nursery.
One owner told me proudly,
“I know every single thing happening in my business.”
My reply?
“What size diapers does your business prefer?”
Because real businesses — the kind that build wealth, not just income — don’t need Boss man (or woman) checking in every 15 minutes.
They run on … systems.
… People
… Clear roles.
… And processes.
A true independent business does not require you to micromanage like your retirement depends on it.
(Newsflash: It does.)
This is why exits fall apart. Why offers get slashed. Why businesses that should be worth $5M get laughed out of the room by buyers.
Because no one wants to buy a job that smells like babysitting.
