🔧 How $100M+ founders fix broken businesses fast

Success leaves clues. Here's what 9-figure founders know

In the last newsletter, I shared how stepping away gave me the clarity to level up our strategy.

But there’s another side to it:

Sometimes, the only way to see clearly, and fix your agency’s problems… is to step back in and get your hands dirty.

I’ve seen ultra-successful, centi-millionaire founders step back into frontline ops:

  • Taking sales calls.

  • Shadowing support.

  • Running team standups.

Not because they had to.

But because they wanted clarity.

When something feels off, data dashboards won’t tell you what’s really broken.

Your team won’t always know, or say, what the real problem is.

That’s where ego kills speed.

It keeps you too far away to see clearly.

Overwhelmed With Client Work?

Ready to escape the grind? We’ve helped 800+ agency owners reclaim their time by placing a Fractional COO into their business. Book a free call to uncover what’s keeping you trapped & finally remove yourself from client servicing.

See, when something’s not working, most founders try to delegate their way out.

But the best ones?

They zoom in, get the raw data, then zoom back out with better insight.

Important: This is NOT about micromanaging!

It’s about collecting the data your team isn’t surfacing.

You can’t fix what you don’t see.

So step in… then scale smarter.

If you’re ready to step out of the weeds, and still lead with clarity…
