Growing Your People to Grow Your Business

4 Dec

Show Notes

Most business owners carry more than they realise, the decisions, the pressure, the problem-solving, the emotional load. And when you’re a couple running a business together, that load feels even heavier.

But the issue is, your business can only grow to the level of the leaders inside it.
When you become better leaders, you create more capacity, more stability, and more space in both your business and your relationship.

In this episode, Mark and Caroline break down what leadership development actually looks like inside a small business. They explore how trust, accountability, empowerment, and ownership create a team that doesn’t just “help out”, they lead.

You’ll hear real examples, leadership conversations you can start this week, and stories that show exactly how investing in the right people transforms your time, growth, and energy as a couple in business.

This episode will help you step out of the daily grind and build a business that grows because your people grow.

In today's podcast, Mark explores:

00:34 – Why growing leaders is the fastest way to scale as a couple

10:06 – Why a title without support sets someone up to fail
11:25 – Moving from doing everything to leading a business that grows without you
13:18 – One simple question to uncover hidden leadership potential
