## Resource

Let me be real with you: your leadership will become the constraint long before you realize it. I've seen it with my clients, and I've lived it myself. In this episode, I'm unpacking 15 warning signals for why your mindset and leadership capacity have to evolve faster than your growth. Because staying in the weeds, holding all the bags, or waiting for a crisis to force a shift, that's what keeps your practice stuck. I'm sharing how I had to grow from leading a team of 3 to running operations across 20+ locations, and how the leadership and business skills that got me started couldn't carry me to the next level. If you're feeling stretched, frustrated, or like everything still runs through you, this is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. ➡️ My Own Your CEO Status™ Masterclass is happening on January 15 at 12PM ET – and it's free. I'll walk you through the mindset, leadership shifts, and systems your practice needs to finally run without you. Save your seat now and let's set you up for sustainable success this year. Some key takeaways from this episode include: How growth can outpace your leadership skill set without you realizing it The mindset shift from being in the weeds to showing up as an empowered CEO Why doing more isn't the answer to scaling Signs that your practice has outgrown your current leadership style and business skill set What it actually looks like to lead, not just run, your practice It's time to take back your practice and own your CEO status. On the CEO Conversations™ podcast, we will cover the business side of your practice with actionable takeaways for you to implement in your practice. We will discuss: marketing, team building & leading, finances, operations & systems, YOU and everything in between. Connect with Brandy: Brandy Mabra on I…
