Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

[05:00] Why the need for control keeps owners trapped inside their business.
[08:45] The “80% rule” and how systemizing intuition creates leverage.
[13:00] How professional identity quietly limits business growth.
[17:20] How beliefs—especially about money—sabotage scalability.
[22:00] Why employees are not an expense but a path to freedom.

In this episode:

Most business owners don’t struggle because they lack effort—they struggle because they’re trapped by control, identity, and belief systems.

In this episode, Adi Klevit sits down with returning guest Jamey Schrier to explore why so many entrepreneurs remain buried in daily operations long after they intended to scale. Jamey outlines three core constraints that keep owners stuck: fear of letting go, over-identification with a role or profession, and deeply ingrained beliefs—especially around money.

Adi and Jamey connect these mindset challenges to the practical necessity of systemization. They discuss why documenting intuition, defining standards, and accepting that team members don’t need to be exact replicas of the founder are essential for growth. The conversation reinforces that systems only work when owners are willing to evolve how they think, lead, and delegate.

Quotable Moments:

“Hope is not a strategy.”
“You don’t need people to be you—you need them to be 80% of you.”
“If you won’t let go, you will stay trapped in your business.”
“Employees aren’t an expense. They’re freedom.”
“You will never make more than what you believe you’re worth.”

Action Steps:

Identify where control—not necessity—is keeping you in day-to-day operations.
Document the 80% of what you do that can be taught, trained, and repeated.
Redefine your identity beyond your original profession or technical role.
Examine your beliefs about money and how they affect pricing and hiring decisions.
Reframe employees as leverage that creates time, capacity, and freedom.
