Unbound
For 7-figure+ founders whose business still runs through them.
Scale past the point where everything needs you.
You became the founder who could do it all, and now being the one who does it all is your ceiling. The standards, the decisions, and the key relationships still route back to you, which caps how far the business can scale and how far you can step away from it.
Somewhere in your mind is the fear that if you stop working the way you've always worked, the income and the lifestyle it pays for go with it.
You've probably said some version of this to yourself: you need more revenue before you can hire the right people, if you're not watching it closely it won't get done right, and when someone else does the work it comes back at 85 or 90% of what you'd have done, and that last bit is why you take it back.
Unbound is a high-touch, intimate group where we change that, so your team performs at a level you didn't think they could, not every decision routes through you, and the business keeps growing without you at the center of everything.
Most founders at this level already have a coach, and plenty of coaches can help you grow. But the patterns that make your success come at the cost of you usually keep running, so they show up again no matter how big the business gets. Rooting them out is how you keep scaling without the self-sacrifice.
Growth
B.B. was already running a 7-figure business and still doing much of the work herself. She'd outgrown an employee she'd had for 11 years and couldn't bring herself to let her go, and the people she'd hired since had either underperformed or walked off with her proprietary work, so she'd stopped hiring altogether and was running on 15 to 20 outside contractors, redoing or rerouting most of the work back to herself. When her beliefs around team cleared, she let the long-term employee go, hired 4 full-time employees, and her team is now high-performing.
Tim came to me convinced he needed access to more high-net-worth clients. What was actually running was a "blue collar grind away mentality," in his words, handling everything himself and never quite trusting anyone else to perform.
As he put it, "you're going to have to go through your own self and look at yourself in the mirror if you really want to level up your business." Once he did, and we changed what was keeping the business dependent on him, he started effectively leading his team, and the business grew enough that his wife left her corporate career to join it as CFO.
