Your Team Is Doing Great. So Why Do You Feel Stressed?

****

They don’t say it on sales calls.

They say it at 10pm. In whispers. With a cracked voice. Or an exhausted half-laugh.

“I know we look successful. But I feel like I’m losing it.”

These are the founders who:

• Have great teams - but still carry 80% of the decision-making load

  
  

• Wake up already anxious, replaying three things they forgot yesterday

  
  

• Can’t step away for more than a few hours without Slack lighting up like a siren

They’re not broken.They’re not failing.

But they are caught in the middle of a system that was never built to carry this much weight.

And that’s the moment I usually get called in.

Here’s the thing no one tells you:

Your business already has an operating system.

It’s just invisible, inconsistent, and duct-taped together with good intentions.

And when you try to scale that kind of system?

• Good people start to burn out

  
  

• Culture starts to fray

  
  

• You lose pride in what you’ve built - even when it’s “working” on paper
