⨠But success comes with a catch:
Now you have something to lose. âď¸
This is the awkward, in-between stage where you've built real wealthâmaybe 500 to 1,000 lots, solid cash flow, and a seven-figure net worth. You're too big to be âmom-and-popâ... but not quite big enough to run like a true institution. And that gray zone? Itâs purgatory for many.
In this episode, we break down the tough questions every entrepreneur faces in Phase 4:
Do you chill out and protect what youâve built? đ
Do you hire ahead of growth and take short-term losses? đ¸
Do you keep grinding and risk burnout? đĽ
Or do you double down and go for it all? đ
This is the phase where many stall out, sell out, or burn out.
But itâs also the phase where smart systems, intentional scaling, and emotional clarity can unlock your biggest leap yet.
