Oh, I know.

For a time, instinct was enough to run your business.
You just knew what made it tick.
Your vision, your purpose… it lived IN you.
And it got you this far.

But now you’re growing.
And suddenly, there are more layers between you and certain parts of the business.
You start to see the cracks.
Small at first.
Bigger later.

Inconsistencies pop up.
Frustration sets in.

If this sounds familiar, you’ve likely outgrown “just knowing.”

That purpose, that vision, that passion, it can’t live only in you anymore.

Clarity isn’t just a nice-to-have.
It’s how you scale without losing what made you special to begin with.
