Why do experts struggle to scale even when they’re highly capable and customers love them?
In this episode of The Scalable Expert Podcast, Tara shares the story of a client who could do everything. She solved problems fast. She delivered great results. Her customers were thrilled.
And she was exhausted.
If you’ve ever felt like your value comes from how much you can do for your customers, this episode will hit home. Many experts struggle to scale not because they lack skill - but because they’re solving too many problems at once.

And that’s where scaling breaks.
In this episode, Tara breaks down:
If experts struggle to scale, it’s usually because their business is built around doing everything -not leading one clear solution.
