Most founders can’t do this (and that’s the problem)
A week away with my wife… And the revenue didn’t stop. She turned 37. We have five children. And one of the most important values in our life is simple: Our marriage comes first. So we took time away. Just us. Not because everything is perfect. But because if you don’t protect what matters most… success becomes expensive in all the wrong ways. And yes, I still worked a little. But only at set, intentional times. The rest of the time, she had my full attention. No guilt. No chaos. No “I’ll just check one more thing.” Because the business is built to run without me hovering over it every minute. That’s the real lesson here. If you like the sound of being able to take a week away and still have your business running here are 3 things I’d focus on. 1.

You don’t need a big team to hit seven figures This is one of the biggest lies in online business. Seven figures isn’t built by more staff more meetings more complexity. It’s built by: • Better systems • Clearer messaging • Stronger conversion • Ruthless focus on what actually makes money I’ve seen tiny teams outperform bloated companies simply because their machine was cleaner. Scale isn’t about size. It’s about efficiency. For context I have a team of 4 including myself 3. Simplicity always wins Complicated businesses look impressive… but simple businesses pay you. A clear audience. A powerful offer. A predictable way to get clients. A follow-up system that runs every day. That’s it. Not sexy. Not loud. But extremely profitable and it gives you something most founders never get:
