    What It's About

    Every builder hits the point where the question gets louder than the work: Am I ready to grow this business—or am I about to lose control? Whether you’re thinking about hiring, taking on more jobs, entering a new market, or narrowing your focus, this session will help you recognize the signs it’s time to scale and show you how to do it with confidence. We’ll go beyond the basics to tackle the real pressures of growth—leadership isolation, burnout risk, and the fear of making the wrong move. Hear candid insights from seasoned builders who’ve been in your shoes, made bold decisions, and set clear benchmarks for scaling with purpose. Walk away with practical tools: key indicators that signal you’re ready, steps to build a strong foundation before scaling, tips on timing your next hire, and strategies for creating a “personal board of advisors” to guide your journey. If your business feels on the edge of something bigger, this is the roadmap you’ve been waiting for.
