Tell us if this sounds familiar. Entrepreneur starts business. Entrepreneur has strong intuition and passion to get it off the ground. Business starts growing. Entrepreneur starts doing everything, working 80, 90, 100 hour weeks. Entrepreneur feels stuck and worries they're falling out of love with their business. What should they do?

This is one of the most common experiences we see at The Entourage. Whether the business owner has reached their absolute capacity or are just starting to feel the struggle a bit too much, it's important to take a step back and understand exactly what is happening and why. That's why we asked our Founder and 5x AFR Young Rich Lister, Jack Delosa, to come on this episode of The Make It Happen Show to teach you exactly how you can go from this reactive and chaotic startup to a business that can run without you always being there.

If you want to start building a business that can actually scale beyond you, this is the episode for you.
