Adrienne has a warning for anyone chasing seven figures: revenue isn't the same thing as an asset.

In this episode, she walks through the seven signs that you've actually built yourself a very well paying job, and Emily pushes back on more than a few of them.

The two dig into what separates a business that can survive without its owner from one that's just a job with better margins, and why most people don't act on it until the pain gets too big to ignore.

What they cover:

• Why revenue is a marketing tool, not proof you've built something valuable
• Sign one: you still approve everything, even after hiring expensive help to stop doing that
• Sign two: clients are buying access to you specifically, not a system that delivers without you
• Sign three: you can't disappear for four weeks without still checking your phone
• Sign four: revenue slows the moment you stop personally selling
• Sign five: your team can execute, but can't own outcomes or make decisions
• Sign six: you understand how everything works, but the company doesn't
• Sign seven: a buyer removing you would break the business
• Why most people don't do the foundational work until a health scare or life event forces their hand
