What if the secret to scaling to 100K months wasn’t more hustle—but rewiring your brain?


In this powerful episode of The Takeover, we sit down with award-winning strategist, bestselling author, and top 1% business growth coach Dawn McGruer, who’s helped over 30,000 entrepreneurs generate more than €45 million in revenue. Dawn shares how she went from burnout to building multiple seven-figure companies, and the neuroscience behind sustaining that level of performance.

We dive into:

  • How to regulate your nervous system to make better business decisions
  • Why most founders sabotage scalability before they ever start
  • The 1.8 percent problem…and what’s truly holding women back from seven figures
  • The five critical factors behind every scalable business model
