A founder’s strengths can be the very thing that limits business growth. In this episode, Leila Hormozi shares key principles for scaling a business, starting with the need to delegate what you're already good at, so you free up time to acquire new skills. Sustainable growth also requires normalizing setbacks, prioritizing rest and recovery, and building decision-making systems that function seamlessly in the founder's absence.
