She explains why you are the most expensive employee in your business, how opportunity cost quietly kills growth, and why doing replaceable work isn’t dedication — it’s misused value.Pam introduces what she calls the Ferrari Problem: using high-octane founder energy for low-leverage tasks. It feels productive in the short term, but it creates dependency, stalls systems, and ultimately leads to burnout, stalled growth, or worse.You’ll also walk away with a practical worksheet exercise to help you identify replaceable tasks, build leverage, and begin the leadership shift required to move from founder to scalable business owner.This episode is part of an ongoing series designed to guide founders from early-stage chaos to a business that’s ready to grow — and eventually exit.Send us Fan MailSupport the showStay up to date with all of our Cash Flow updates by joining my mailing list: https://go.pamprior.com/stayconnected✅ Subscribe to the Cashflow Podcast with Pam Prior:🎙️ Podcast Page📺 Youtube🎧 Spotify 🍎 Apple Podcast Learn more about Pam at:  https://www.PamPrior.comWant a Free Business Blueprint Call with Pam?
