But if sales slow down, decisions stall, or customers feel the difference whenever they step away, they may still be self-employed. Jeremy Shapiro has built companies across SaaS, ecommerce, technology, and services. He's seen the same pattern repeatedly: The hustle that creates momentum early on eventually becomes the thing holding the business back. We talk about why founders stay trapped in low-value work, how technology can quietly create more complexity, and why growth often stalls when you keep relying on the same channel, habits, or people. We also get into niche strategy, the hidden costs of building your own software, what separates a valuable mastermind from an expensive networking group, and why an SOP is useless if another person can't produce the same result.
