Join us in this episode as we speak with Daniel Heck, Co-Founder of Cultrvate. He sold his previous BUSINESS—but why? And was it a SANE move or a moment of madness? Tune in to uncover his SECRETS!
After exiting his business, Daniel confronted an existential crisis, a consequence of severe burnout and deep emotional and psychological tolls. He stresses a crucial lesson: business owners must avoid tying their identity too closely to their ventures. His strategy? Making oneself 'obsolete' through comprehensive documentation and cultivating an independent team. This ensures businesses can flourish even in the owners decide to step away.
