In this episode, Luvvie begins pulling back the curtain on the rollercoaster ride of transitioning from being a 'solopreneur' to becoming a business empire. Driven by her ambition to diversify her revenue streams, she went from having one executive assistant to 11 full-time salaried employees (with benefits!). Luvvie recalls still feeling burnt out despite her efforts to lighten her load, and with her confidence taking a dip, she starts asking, "What's wrong?" She walks us through her business transformation journey, from the highs of scaling up to a multimillion-dollar company, to the lows of shrinking down her 'dream' team.
