87: The bottleneck of wearing too many hats with Amari Ice

RUN LIKE CLOCKWORK: SMALL BUSINESS OPERATIONS

As a solopreneur, you wear all the hats. Whether you’re a solopreneur or have a small team, can you remember the days when you knew your favorite hat, yet had to keep taking it off to wear other ones that didn’t fit you well? Wearing all the hats is a common bottleneck to business growth + efficiency.

This week on the Run Like Clockwork Podcast, our Clockworker guest is Amari Ice, known as the Prince of Hearts. As a solopreneur, he knew his favorite hat to wear was his crown as a gay matchmaker, hypnotherapist, and relationship coach, yet he found himself wearing all the hats. Not anymore! He shares his journey with Clockwork, which helped him hand off hats as he hired new team members, growing his business and opening up new amazing opportunities!

Topics Amari + Laurie discuss on this episode:

• Hiring to hand off some of the hats you’re wearing
• Why leaders shouldn’t focus on improving their weaknesses
• Why Amari called Clockwork necessary for making his goals inevitable

Recognizing that he was the bottleneck in his business led Amari to Clockwork. Clockwork led him to handing off the hats holding his business back so he could wear his crown and work in his zone of genius as his business continues to grow. What a great example!
