What would happen to your business if you couldn’t show up tomorrow?
In this episode, Tara discusses the hidden fragility inside most expert-driven businesses - the kind that looks “successful” on the outside but collapses the moment the founder stops showing up. You’ll learn how to identify the weak spots that make your business vulnerable, and how to replace them with scalable systems, signature frameworks, and a delivery model that keeps growing even when you’re not in the room.
This isn’t about putting your business on autopilot or walking away from your customers. It’s about building a business that thrives without depending on you. Tara walks you through the mindset shifts and structural changes that turn fragile service models into scalable, resilient, and customer-centered businesses.
If your calendar feels maxed out and your revenue depends on how many hours you can personally work - this episode is your wake-up call.

- How to spot hidden fragility in your business model
