Most business owners hit a ceiling not because the market isn’t there but because they’re stuck working in the business instead of building one that can run, scale, and eventually sell without them. In this solo episode of Scale to Exit, I break down the five critical shifts you need to make to scale smarter, leaner, and with less stress: From owner to investor mindset From overworked operator to delegator with the right systems and people From reacting to proactively planning with budgets and forecasts From controlling everything to trusting your team From doing to leading with the right KPIs and alignment I’ll give you practical actions you can implement right away so you can stop being the bottleneck and start building a business that grows in value — and becomes an asset you can exit from on your terms. And at the end, I’ll share why hiring a Fractional CFO/COO may be the most important decision you make to accelerate this journey.  If you are planning to sell/exit your business and need a business exit coach/planner make sure you contact Alejandra Santos CEPA MBA Finance OPS
