Discover how successful entrepreneurs break free from the Builder's Paradox - where your own success keeps you trapped in daily operations. Daniel Pope interviews Jen Eckhart of Entrepreneurial Freedom to reveal the exact framework for transitioning from owner-dependent to self-managed business.
In this conversation, you'll learn the 4 phases of entrepreneurial evolution (Founder to Builder to Ambassador to Investor), the Ops Flywheel Framework for operational independence, and why the "Friday Effect" exposes hidden business weaknesses. Jen shares real case studies, including how one client grew from $6M to $8.5M revenue while working less.
Perfect for business owners feeling stuck in their operations, this episode uncovers the systems, processes, and mindset shifts needed to build a business that thrives without you. Whether you're planning an exit or just want your life back, this framework creates freedom now and asset value later.
Topics covered include the "quiet truths" entrepreneurs won't admit about leadership transitions, how to use Kolbe assessments to optimize team dynamics, why visionaries and operators clash, and the personal transformation required for business growth.
