The #1 reason your online business isn’t growing has nothing to do with strategy.
It’s that you’re building something you’re not aligned with.
You’re selling something that doesn’t feel true.
You’re scaling something that drains you.
And it shows in your content, your energy, your results.
Most people don’t have a strategy problem.
They have an alignment problem.
They’re copying what they think works.
They’re forcing offers that feel off.
They’re chasing outcomes without ever stopping to ask what they actually want.
And the answer isn’t to push harder.
The answer is to slow down, get clear, and build from who you are, not what everyone else is doing.
This new episode with Paul Daley breaks it all down.
Founder, entrepreneur, friend and someone who’s built everything by being ruthlessly honest with himself.
We talk about:
– Why most programs never scale
– Why people burn out chasing someone else’s vision
– And how alignment builds momentum that brute force never can
