Are you building a business that can run without you—or one that runs you ragged?

In Episode 104 of Talk To Th3 Doc, Steve Meek is joined by Business Scaling Coach Stacy Eads to talk about one of the most overlooked truths in entrepreneurship: scaling is not about size—it’s about systems.

You’ll hear why so many seasoned business owners struggle when it’s time to sell or step away—and what you can do now to build enterprise value, not just top-line revenue.

🔍 In this conversation, we explore:

• Why exit planning should begin three years in advance

• The power of recurring revenue and measurable cash flow

• How meeting rhythms and process ownership impact scale-readiness

• What “emotional readiness” really means in leadership transitions

• How Fulcrum’s STARPower IT model reinforces strategic operations

• Stacy’s free 6-Minute Scaling Quiz to check your growth posture
