The weight adds up, and eventually something has to change.In this episode of Self-Made Is a Myth, Coach Tim Campsall sits down with Heath, owner of Madison Cabinets, to unpack a 20+ year journey of leading a multi-generation, family-owned business and confronting the limits of doing it all himself.Heath shares the moment he realized managing sales, operations, and people alone was no longer sustainable. He explains how learning to truly understand the numbers changed how he makes decisions, why delegation was harder than he expected, and how leadership development became the key to scaling without constant firefighting.
