Are you stuck at the same revenue year after year? In this episode of The Optimized Entrepreneur, we expose the brutal truth about why most service business owners stay trapped at their current level—and it's not what you think. Discover why your brain is wired to keep you "safe" but broke, the four lies comfort tells you that destroy growth, and the exact framework successful entrepreneurs use to make peace with discomfort. Learn why "waiting until you're ready" guarantees failure, how to calculate real risk vs. emotional risk, and the "Discomfort Budget" that transforms scared business owners into confident leaders. If you're a cleaning company owner, pressure washing operator, or any service business entrepreneur ready to break through from $300K to seven figures, this episode will challenge everything you believe about growth and give you the roadmap to finally pay the price of admission. No hustle culture BS—just field-tested wisdom from 20+ years running real service businesses.
