From Dependency Factory to Capability Engine

Stop being the bottleneck in your own business. Architect a team that thinks like owners—without you in every decision.

This is for you if...

  • You're a growth-stage CEO or business owner ($3M-$50+M revenue)

  • You've built something successful but feel like you're working harder for diminishing returns

  • You're ready for exponential (10X) growth, not incremental (2X) optimization

  • You value science, frameworks, and mathematical rigor—not just motivation

  • You're willing to examine your own thinking, not just blame the team

What You'll Discover

This isn't theory. This is pattern recognition that reveals why your best strategies are sabotaging your growth.

The Optimization Trap

Why hiring more people, creating better systems, and working harder didn't fix the problem. Every strength optimized for one context becomes a limitation in the next.

Dependency Factory vs.
Capability Engine

The invisible architecture that keeps smart people waiting for your decisions instead of thinking for themselves—and how to redesign it.

The TEAR Framework

How Thoughts → Emotions → Actions → Results shape everything. Most leaders try to change results by changing actions. That's backwards.

The Power of Strategic Elimination

Not "what should we optimize?" but "what should cease to exist?"—the question that creates exponential freedom instead of incremental improvement.
