Hosted by Jay Allen | Founder of My True North – The UK’s Leading Ethical Coaching Company

Episode Title: The Bottleneck Effect – Why You’re Still the Problem

Welcome back to The Accidental Business Owner Podcast, where we help purpose-driven entrepreneurs scale sustainably—without losing their sanity.

In this episode, Jay Allen gets uncomfortably honest about the real reason your business isn’t growing the way you want it to: you.

• Your decisions.
• Your habits.
• Your need to control everything.

If you’ve ever felt like:

• Your business can’t run without you,
• You’re constantly firefighting,
• Or growth has plateaued no matter how hard you push...

Then this episode is going to hit home.

Jay breaks down:✅ The hidden ways YOU create bottlenecks in your business✅ Why working harder is the least effective strategy✅ How to shift from being the operator to becoming the owner✅ Practical systems and mindset shifts to scale without burnout

This isn’t about guilt or blame—it’s about ownership. And taking back control in a way that frees you and your business to grow.
