More clients should make your business feel more secure. So why can growth leave you chasing the next sale, hiring under pressure, and wondering how you’ll keep your team busy?

In this episode of The Untrapped Entrepreneur, Ben sits down with Nirmal, founder of WP Creative, to unpack the survival cycle behind a growing service business. After moving from Nepal to Australia with an $18,000 loan, Nirmal built the agency with his wife. He shares what it felt like to keep finding the next project, why the traditional project model frustrated both his team and his clients, and how ongoing monthly partnerships changed the way the business operated.

The conversation explores the evolution from an $89 maintenance plan to a broader offer with a $2,000 monthly minimum, the resistance that came with it, and why recurring revenue still requires consistent value for existing clients.

Most people spend decades saving, investing, and accumulating wealth. But very few stop to ask a more important question:

What is the money actually for?

In this episode of The Untrapped Entrepreneur, wealth advisor, entrepreneur, and author Gary Preisser shares a different way to think about money. Instead of treating assets like trophies or focusing endlessly on growth, Gary argues that every dollar should have a purpose and a time when it will be used.

We discuss why “more” is not a financial plan, why people who have saved their entire lives can struggle to spend money even when they can afford to, and how a scarcity mindset can prevent people from enjoying the wealth they worked so hard to create.

What if the CEO’s job isn’t to run the company?

In this episode of The Untrapped Entrepreneur, Derek Fredrickson, founder and CEO of The COO Solution, challenges one of the most common assumptions entrepreneurs make as their businesses grow: that because they can do everything, they should keep doing everything.

Derek explains why founders should spend more time thinking and less time doing, why entrepreneurs often become trapped as the operator inside their own company, and how getting out of the day-to-day can unlock greater clarity, confidence, growth, and freedom.

We also discuss Derek’s journey from fractional COO to founder and CEO, how he built a seven-figure business in his first year, why he had to overcome his own resistance to sales, and the mindset shift that allowed him to step out of the room and trust his team to deliver results without him.
