About this episode
Most founders stay stuck as the highest-paid employee in their own business. Maggie Colette explains the identity shift that separates operators from owners, and why it is psychological long before it is operational.
The conversation covers pricing conviction, delegation as an identity problem rather than a systems problem, and the specific beliefs that keep capable founders under-earning.
