How to Build a Business That Runs Without You with Rory Prendergast

Why Business Owners Become the Bottleneck (And How to Fix It) with Rory Prendergast Most business owners don’t have a time problem. They have a decision hoarding problem. If you’re working 60+ hours a week, constantly firefighting, answering the same questions over and over, and feeling like the business grinds to a halt the moment you step away—this episode is for you. In this episode of Marc Haine Live, Marc is joined by Rory Prendergast, a serial entrepreneur who has built and sold three multi-million-dollar businesses, scaled a franchise across three continents in one year, and quite literally run his business while sailing across the Atlantic—without phone or email. We unpack why SOPs don’t work the way you’ve been promised, why “common sense” disappears the moment someone becomes an employee, and why most owners accidentally become the bottleneck that keeps their business stuck.

Having built and sold 3 multi-million-dollar businesses and launched a global franchise in just one year, Rory knows firsthand the pain of working 60+ hours a week while your business runs you.  Today, Rory helps founders systemize their entire business in 90 days using his One Page Framework System—empowering teams to make better decisions, take ownership, and run operations without constant oversight. He teaches owners how to work on their business instead of in it, creating self-managing teams, a culture of accountability, and processes that actually stick.  From clarifying leadership frameworks to turning SOPs into actionable systems, Rory’s approach is practical, real-world, and designed to free owners from the day-to-day while scaling their operations and profits. He lives by the principle that the best businesses don’t rely on a single visionary—they rely on empowered teams, clear decision-making, and leaders who know when to step back.  Connect with Rory roryprendergast.com  [email protected]  https://www.instagram.com/rorysbox/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruaidhriprendergast/  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Mvo-uZvIZys_pyEy745IQ ----more----About Your Host, Marc Haine Need to brainstorm aspects of your business or talk to Marc about speaking at your upcoming conference or staff retreat?
