7FF 857: From Operator to Owner: The Hiring Shift Most People Miss

February 17, 2026

About This Episode

There’s a big difference between doing deals and owning a business.

Most investors never make the jump.

They grow deal volume… and somehow lose time, margin, and sanity in the process. 

Every new deal adds pressure. Every hire feels risky. 

Vacations feel impossible because nothing works without you answering texts, approving ads, and fixing problems in real time.

That’s the pain no one talks about.

In this episode, Lindsay and I dig into why that happens, and why most investors stay stuck as operators even when the numbers look “good.” 

If marketing still needs your approval and follow-up dies when you get busy, you’re stuck in the operator trap.

That’s exactly what you’ll learn in our next free masterclass.

On February 19th, Bill Allen and our COO Dave Morse will show you how to hire for ownership inside People+: Hiring for Freedom.

If your growth still depends on you touching everything, this is the shift you need.

If your growth still depends on you being in every decision, this masterclass is the move that turns effort into ownership.
