In this episode Lauren recalls talking to one of her favorite humans, Tim Francis the other day and as two operational experts they were discussing how often operational health gets overlooked.It is very sexy to have a million dollar business. But you know what is sexier? Having a highly profitable million dollar business with not only good cash flow, but a deep cushion of “free cash” in the bank. Welcome back to The Biz Doctor Podcast, today’s show is something that is top of mind for me and sure to be a perspective shifter so let’s dive in. Something that Lauren admits that irks her to no end are the smoke and mirrors 7-figure businesses and launches that look good on the face, but when you peel back the curtain the behind the scenes is a different story.

Clawing your way back or white knuckling… two sides of the same coin … both having an underlying current of control.Lauren talks about the time where she saw this happen in one of her clients. It was like his body was possessed by another. He went from being really excited to get out of the trenches and focus on what we call his “Big 3” - you know the three things that, not only were they his unique abilities, but they were things he really enjoyed in the business - to suddenly trying to stick his fingers in every part of the proverbial pie.Suddenly the team and business were thrown into chaos and whack-a-moling again after months of smooth sailing… So why did this happen?
