About the book

Most small businesses don't fail from a lack of effort — they plateau because the owner is the bottleneck. You're the Bottleneck. Now What? is a practical playbook for building the structure that lets growth and AI actually compound. Eleven chapters move from diagnosing where you're stuck to installing the operating rhythm, decision rights, and AI-ready workflows that scale without you.
