Ep 239: The Truth Most Founders Don’t Want to Hear With Carol Schultz
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most founders don’t fail because they lack effort—they fail because they refuse to let go.
In this episode, Carol Schultz shares why doing everything yourself is the fastest way to stall your business growth and how to finally step into your role as a true CEO.
In this episode, we cover:
- What “founder syndrome” really looks like
- Why CEOs attending too many meetings is a problem
- The difference between a Chief of Staff, COO, and Executive Assistant
- When your business is ready for a Chief of Staff
- Why lack of self-awareness holds leaders back
- The role of feedback in building strong leadership
- How doing low-value work kills growth
- Why hiring the wrong advisors can derail your business
If you’re spending more than 30% of your time on tasks someone else could do, you are the bottleneck in your business.
