Does Your Business Actually Own You?

Most entrepreneurs start businesses because they want more freedom.
Then the company grows, the team grows, the responsibilities grow, and suddenly every important decision still comes back to the owner.
Dan Paulson calls it The Owner’s Trap.
Dan is an executive advisor and bestselling author of Escape the Owner’s Trap. In this conversation, we dig into how owners become the bottleneck, why delegation and training so often break down, how to create real accountability without micromanaging, and why reducing owner dependence can dramatically change the long-term value of a business.
We also talk about succession planning, better meetings, simpler KPIs, employee onboarding, and one lesson Dan learned after a major health scare forced him to look at his own business differently.
The biggest takeaway is simple: if you know something in your business needs to change, don’t assume you’ll get to it tomorrow.
Start today.
