If you disappeared from your business for 60 days, what would break first?
The sales pipeline?
The team?
Cash flow?
Every decision, because somehow you’re still the person everyone asks about f****** everything? 👀
That’s the question at the center of this week’s episode.
We’re sitting down with Allison Maslan, founder and CEO of Pinnacle Global Network and author of Scale or Fail, to talk about what it actually takes to build a company that can grow without the owner holding the entire thing together.
Because being insanely busy is not the same thing as scaling.
We get into leadership. Cash flow. Systems. Team building. Execution. And the uncomfortable realization that sometimes the biggest thing standing between your company and its next stage of growth is…you.
Allison calls one way to test this the “Bora Bora test.”
Disappear for 60 days.
No Slack. No email. No Zoom. No “quick question” texts.
What breaks?
That’s probably where the work is.
🍸 We Get Into:
Why founders become the bottleneck without realizing it
The five pillars behind Allison’s Scale It Method
Why cash flow problems can actually be operations problems
How to build leaders instead of creating more dependency
Why your team should know what success looks like without asking you
How better systems can make the company more valuable
Why culture matters even more as the business grows
And how to tell whether you built a company…or just a very demanding job
Allison also shares the story of a law-firm owner who went from roughly $2.5 million in revenue and 17-hour workdays to more than $100 million in revenue after changing how the company was built and led.
So yeah…this is definitely worth your lunch hour. If your business still needs you in the middle of everything, don’t skip this one.
