In this episode, Bruce shares the personal turning point when he realized that after seven years, 7,000 clients, and a growing business, he had not built a business that could operate without him. He had built a job that he could not step away from. Bruce breaks down what led to that realization and the changes he made to build a business that could run without his constant involvement. He shares the importance of documenting your processes, creating systems before hiring, delegating effectively, and letting go of revenue tied directly to his personal involvement.
