***************************************
In this episode of Leadership LIVE @ 8:05!, Andrew Frazier, MBA, CFA, is joined by business advisor and author Rob Young to tackle one of the most common—and costly—traps small business owners fall into: being great at their craft but struggling to run the business behind it.
Drawing from his experience working with business owners across multiple industries, Rob introduces the three essential functions of every business—product making, customer getting, and navigating—and reveals why most owners neglect the navigation role until it's too late. Together, Rob and Andrew break down practical tools for understanding your numbers, building simple monitoring systems, and focusing on what Rob calls your Best and Highest Use (BeiHu)—so your business can grow without burning you out.
Whether you're just getting started, hitting a growth plateau, or finally ready to step into the CEO role your business needs, this conversation will challenge the way you think about leadership, operations, and what it truly takes to scale.
Because building a great business isn't just about knowing your craft. It's about learning how to run it.
Rob Young is a former corporate executive, business advisor, and author of Stage Three Success. After watching several friends lose their small businesses due to the strain of growth, he made it his mission to help small business owners step into the CEO role their business needs. As principal of Stage Three Group, Rob makes corporate-level best practices and tools accessible to everyday entrepreneurs so they can scale with clarity, control, and confidence.
