If you took 30 days off, what would break in your business? Would your team keep making decisions, or would everything wait until you got back?

On Inspire & Impact, Daniel Rosenstein sits down with Peter Boolkah, business coach, creator of The Hamster Wheel Trap®, and author of Your Business Sucks. Peter shares what he learned about leadership and systems at McDonald’s and how more than two decades of coaching business owners changed the way he measures success.

They discuss why growing revenue and hiring more people can leave founders with less freedom, and how to build a team that can keep the business moving while you’re away.

• Spot the signs you’ve become your company’s bottleneck.

• Understand why even capable teams wait for the founder’s approval.

• Give people the authority to make decisions and own the results.
