Some leaders think they have all the answers.

Some leaders think they have all the answers.
Most don't even know the right questions to ask.

I've worked with founders scaling from 7 to 8 figures.

Those who struggle most aren't lacking in business skills.
They're drowning in problems they can't admit out loud.

- Imposter syndrome at board meetings
- Marriage falling apart during growth phases
- Panic attacks before investor calls
- Feeling completely isolated at the top

Here's what I've learned:

The higher you climb, the fewer people you can talk to.

Your team looks to you for answers.
Your family needs you to be strong.
Your investors expect confidence.

But who do you turn to when you're barely holding it together?

Most successful leaders have a secret.
They have someone in their corner who isn't impressed by their title.

Someone who calls them on their patterns.
Someone who helps them separate the CEO from the human.

The strongest leaders aren't the ones who never break.
They're the ones who know when to ask for help.

Stop trying to figure it out alone.

What's one leadership challenge I should write more about?
