1542: Profit Acceleration & Predictable Profit for Service-Based Entrepreneurs with Cardinal Business Advisor with Jane Parmel
Service-based entrepreneurs often launch a business to do what they love, only to find themselves overwhelmed by tasks, burned out, and tied to operations they never planned for. In this episode, profit acceleration strategist Jane Parmel joins Robert Plank to explain why the real job of a business owner isn’t “doing the work” but leading the business. Drawing from her journey from teacher to children’s party center owner to coach, Jane unpacks how over-involvement, emotional attachment, and fear of delegation quietly destroy profit, stall growth, and keep owners stuck in the business instead of working on it.
Jane explains why mindset is the first system you must fix, from the belief that “no one can do it as well as me” to the dangerous comfort of “we’ve always done it this way.” You’ll hear how to step into the role of observer instead of constant doer, empower employees to take ownership, and design operations that support clarity, confidence, and cash flow. If you’re overwhelmed, short on time, and tired of your business depending on your every move, this conversation will show you how to embrace change, build structure, and finally create a business that serves your life, not the other way around.
Quotes:
“The moment you stop doing everything yourself and start leading your business, you stop surviving and start growing.”
“If you’re the most expensive person in the company, you can’t afford to be doing the cheapest tasks.”
“Your business will only grow to the level you’re willing to delegate, document, and let other people win with you.”
