Cecilia runs a financial services firm with clients earning anywhere from $100K to $10 million.

Her biggest clients (the ones paying her the most) want her to handle their accounts receivable and accounts payable. The problem? She wants out of that work entirely, even though it makes up half her revenue.

In this episode of In The Room, Rachel breaks down what's actually going on. Spoiler: it's not the service. It's how Cecilia is showing up as a CEO.

If you've ever felt like you're the bottleneck in your own business, this one's for you.

What we cover:
How to spot when you're avoiding the work that would actually scale your business Why "honesty is kind" when leading a team The boundary work most CEOs skip with both their team and their messy clients Why your second star employee takes way less time to train than your first How to stop being the person every client calls

I have been pitching this show for years. Every network you can think of. Lots of interest, nothing happened. So I went to Lisbon and filmed it myself.

This BTS video shows you what that actually looked like. And more importantly, it shows you the people we found along the way.

An American Black woman who moved to Portugal and through serendipity bought a wellness business in the heart of a historic neighborhood. A Cape Verdean man who started with hotel rooms and flyers and got chased by dogs, and now runs a high end art gallery showcasing incredible African art. An activist and screen printer running a whole operation out of his apartment, building something real with whatever he had.

This show is not about billionaires in boardrooms. It is not the same five celebrity entrepreneurs on every podcast. It is about the Global Majority. The small business owners, dreamers, and doers actually building real wealth around the world.

On June 1st, The Rachel Rodgers Show has its world premiere at the historic Angelika Film Center in New York City. Tickets are almost gone.
