The Hidden Costs of Being the Business

Eleanor Beaton

You’re grateful for your clients, busy calendar, and growing revenue, but you’re starting to feel a deep resentment towards a business you started for freedom… and aren’t getting. Sound familiar? 

If you’re personally providing a service to your clients, you’re being the business, you’re slammed at work, and you can’t seem to see a way out, this is an episode you do not want to miss.

This week, Eleanor is pulling back the curtain on the hidden costs of being the business, why so many brilliant consultants get stuck at capacity, and more importantly, how to break free. She shares her journey from being completely trapped in her business to creating a thriving company that runs smoothly even when she’s away for weeks at a time, and explores a framework that helps consultants scale sustainably through three crucial growth phases.
