They are stuck because the owner is doing six jobs at once with no process underneath any of them. In this episode, I break down the three stages every shop goes through on the way to seven figures, why most owners stall out between stage two and stage three, and what it actually takes to build a sales operation that runs without you. I share a real client story about a shop owner doing 47K a month who called me on a Tuesday night and said he was making more money than ever and had never been more miserable. That story says everything. The move that gets you from 40K to 100K is the opposite of the move that got you from zero to 40K. This episode gives you the structural playbook to make that shift.
