The Success Trap of CEO Parents

from The Profit and Presence Podcast · host Lauren Apple

THE SUCCESS TRAP: Why Making More Money Won't Fix What's Actually Broken You hit six figures. Then multiple six figures. You're successful by every external measure. So why are you more exhausted, more overwhelmed, and more absent from your family than when you were just starting out? Because you're in the Success Trap—and working harder won't get you out.  In this Podcast, I'm sharing the moment my 8-year-old asked her dad "Why is Mom always working?" at the dinner table... and how that question broke something in me that needed to break. In this Podcast: The 3 stages that trap CEO parents in their own success  Why your business model, not your work ethic, is the real problem  How to know which stage you're in (and what to do about it)   Take our Profit & Presence Diagnostic: https://scorecard.systemstoscale.org/ Book a free 30-minute discovery call: https://systemstoscale.org/schedule-a-call/ Learn about our VA Partnership: https://www.familyfirstvas.com/
