What happens to your business when you step away?

In this episode of Pull the Permit, Chris Fink and Keith Eneix tackle one of the biggest challenges facing home service contractors: building a business that can thrive without the owner being involved in every decision. They explore why so many entrepreneurs become the bottleneck in their own companies, how to break free from the "owner trap," and the practical systems that create sustainable growth.
