Item description from seller

If your business needs you for everything, you own a job, with overhead. You built it the way most founders do: with intelligence, grit, sacrifice, and the willingness to carry everything yourself. At first, that works. Income starts to flow. Progress feels real. You tell yourself the pressure, the workload¿ it's just temporary. But then the business grows, and the burden grows with it. The stronger your work ethic, the harder you hit the wall. It's inevitable. More decisions route through you. More people depend on you. More of your time, energy, and judgment get consumed just to keep up. What once looked like success starts to feel like a trap. That is the founder's treadmill. And if you stay on it too long, your business will become harder to scale, harder to lead, harder to sell, and far less valuable than it should be. Every year you stay on that treadmill, and try to do more, you deepen the very dependence that is holding your business back. There has never been a better time to start addressing this problem. In this practical field guide, award-winning author and small business consultant David Grau Sr., JD, gives you a clear five-year plan to build a business that is more durable, more profitable, more valuable, and founder independent. Stop running harder. Start building smarter. Today.
