Being a founder is about starting things from scratch. It’s scrappy, hands-on, and fueled by passion. But as your business grows, that same approach can become a bottleneck. What got you here won’t take you there.
The transition from founder to leader isn’t just about hiring more people. It’s about redefining your role, shifting your mindset, and building trust in systems and people who can operate without you at the center.

From execution to vision. Early-stage founders often do everything themselves. But growth requires pulling back and focusing on strategy, not day-to-day tasks. From perfection to delegation. Waiting for everything to be "just right" slows down momentum. Trusting others to deliver 80% (and improve with time) unlocks scale.
