Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. What's up everybody and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex and today we're going to be tackling something that keeps entrepreneurs stuck in being mediocre. The fear of scaling, fear of growing. So let's get real for a sec.

Scaling your business isn't just about bigger numbers. It's about stepping into a whole new level of pressure, responsibility and risk. It's scary as hell, but that fear, that's exactly what you need to do it. So if you're not scared, you're playing way too small. So let's get into it. First, you gotta stop waiting to feel like you're ready, guys. You think I felt ready when I went from running a side hustle

as a cop to building multiple businesses with over 100 employees? Hell no. I was scared, but I did it anyways. Fear is normal. It's a sign that you're about to break through to the next level. The problem is that most let fear control them.

Not you though. You got to feel that fear, stare it down, and say, let's go. You gotta get ready, right? So, you don't need confidence to scale. You need courage.

Look, scaling isn't about working harder. It's about actually working smarter. A lot of you guys

are afraid to scale, but you think it'll bring more chaos that's only true if you're running your business on vibes into the systems so build processes delegate and automate get it out of your own damn way guys scaling doesn't mean losing control it means trusting the machine you've built to run at a higher level and here's the truth you'll never dominate if you're afraid to bet on yourself. Playing small is safe, and I get that, but it's also the slow death of your dreams. Okay? Scaling is a risk, yes, but so is staying stuck in life and in business.

So you think I built these businesses by staying around and worrying about what could go wrong? No, I took massive action and figured it out as I went. That's what separates winners from losers. Winners take bold moves even when it's uncomfortable guys. And trust me, you gotta get uncomfortable. So bottom line, fear of scaling is your biggest hurdle, but it's also your greatest opportunity

Feel the fear take the risk and grow your business into a beast that is meant to be guys. That's how you win All right.
