In this special episode, Rich Everett joins Chris Reed on the Bowen Buzz podcast to talk about the journey many small business owners must take, from working in the business to becoming a true business owner, and the lessons learned along the way about business growth, leadership, and mindset.

Drawing on his experience coaching small to medium business owners, Rich discusses the challenges many owners face as their business grows, particularly the difficult shift from being the person doing the work to the person leading the business.

This conversation explores the realities of running a small business, the personal growth that comes with business ownership, and why many business owners feel stuck even when the business appears to be doing well on paper.

• Rich’s journey to becoming a business coach

• The difference between being good at your craft and running a business

• The challenges business owners face as they grow

• Why many business owners get stuck at certain revenue levels

• The importance of mindset, leadership, and decision-making in business

• The shift from technician to business owner to leader

• Why business growth often requires personal growth

Business growth is rarely just about strategy.

As a business grows, the owner has to grow as well, in how they think, how they make decisions, how they lead, and how they let go of doing everything themselves.

Often, the biggest bottleneck in a business isn’t the market or the strategy, it’s the owner being stuck in the role that used to work, but no longer serves the next stage of growth.
