Scaling a business isn’t just about tactics, it’s about breaking through the fear that keeps entrepreneurs stuck in cycles of hesitation and survival mode. In a powerful conversation with Brent Holtman, founder of Kairos Profit Coach, we explore what really holds small businesses back from sustainable growth. Brent introduces the "buffalo strategy", facing challenges head-on instead of waiting them out. Through real-world case studies, including two construction companies that weathered the pandemic with opposite approaches, he shows how bold action during hard times can pave the way for major breakthroughs when the market rebounds.

Brent also tackles common pitfalls like price competition and “founder syndrome.” Instead of trying to outspend corporate giants, he encourages business owners to refine their offerings, using "sharper nails" instead of "bigger hammers." His message: focus on delivering clear value to the right clients. Brent’s insights extend to transitioning out of the "Chief Everything Officer" role and embracing tech like AI as tools for efficiency, not threats. For those torn between starting or buying a business, his advice is surprising: the less glamorous the business sounds, the better the investment. Connect with Brent on LinkedIn or download his free book Time for Profit at KairosProfitCoach.com to unlock actionable strategies that can help you break bottlenecks and grow with confidence.
