The Exact Process to Go from Operator to Absentee Owner with Robert Poole
Let me tell you about my fascinating guest today! Robert Poole is the co-founder of Total Business Results, where he helps entrepreneurs make the transition from being tied to their businesses as operators to becoming free as owners. He's a West Point graduate with over 25 years of experience in scaling companies into saleable assets that run without the founders. In this interview, Robert shares his own journey from operator to owner, including the mindset shifts it took. He gives actionable advice for entrepreneurs who feel trapped doing the day-to-day work, so they can get back the freedom that attracted them to owning a business in the first place. You'll discover how to build sustainable processes, recruit an empowered team, and create an organization aligned with your vision. Robert also talks about avoiding common pitfalls that can sabotage your progress. If you're an entrepreneur who wants to transform your role from doing all the work to leading a company that runs itself, don't miss Robert's insightful tactics. Get the keys to making a successful transition so you can reduce your workload and have an ownership asset to someday sell or pass along. Let us know in the comments if you've made the shift from operator to owner! What challenges did you face? How did you motivate your team to share your vision? We'd love to hear your experiences and advice too. #BusinessTransition #OwnerMindset #ProcessBuilding #BusinessGrowth #DelegationEmpowerment #SustainableBusiness #OperatorToOwner #MindsetShift #BusinessProcesses #TransitioningBusinessOwners
