Joe Blackburn and Jason Croft rip apart the biggest lie in entrepreneurship...

That "hustle harder" is the path to scaling past 7 figures.

Spoiler: It's not.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why the entrepreneurs making the MOST money are obsessed with two specific things (People & P&L)... and how ignoring either one creates a ticking time bomb in your business

• Joe's "5P Day" framework that prevents you from becoming a "Corporate Fireman"... constantly putting out fires instead of building your empire

• The dead-simple daily routine that takes 5 minutes... but gives you complete control over your cash flow (even if you hate spreadsheets)

• How to develop your #2 person when you DON'T have corporate budgets, HR departments, or fancy leadership programs

• Why AI and automation are great... but they'll NEVER replace the one skill that separates 6-figure businesses from 8-figure ones

Joe brings his no-BS "old school leadership" energy...

(The kind where he'll check on you because he's worried... then put his foot down when standards slip.)

Jason keeps him honest with questions that force REAL answers.

Not guru fluff.

If you're stuck in the whirlwind...

Drowning in the urgent but neglecting the important...

This episode will snap you out of it.

Watch it. Take notes. Then go fix your routine.

Joe Blackburn and Jason Croft tackle the most controversial topic in the entrepreneurial world...

When is it OKAY to sacrifice balance for success?

In this raw, unfiltered episode, you'll discover:

• How to reframe "work-life balance" when you have massive goals (Joe's dad worked maniacally but Joe has ZERO resentment... here's why)

• Jason's framework for communicating with your family about seasons of intense focus (this prevents the guilt and resentment)

• The "90-day rule" that could transform your business forever... without destroying your relationships

• Why constraints create resourcefulness (and how to use time scarcity to your advantage)

• Joe's controversial take: "You can work half days... that's 12 hours" - when this mindset serves you vs. when it doesn't

• How to tell the difference between being a "try hard" vs. working hard strategically

• The real reason most people stay stuck: they've been sold a lie about what success actually requires

Joe brings his trademark no-BS energy while Jason balances it with practical relationship wisdom.

This isn't about hustle porn or destroying your family...

It's about having an honest conversation about what extraordinary results actually demand.

And why you shouldn't feel guilty for wanting more.

With Q4 in full swing and 2026 around the corner, Joe Blackburn and Jason Croft cut through the noise to reveal the three critical areas that will actually move the needle in your business—right now.

Joe brings his signature no-BS approach to leadership development, breaking down why even million-dollar business owners struggle with thinking small, and exactly what to do about it. He shares his proven daily system for dialing in mindset (hint: it starts at your kitchen table), reveals why "the more hands you shake, the more money you make" still rings true even in the AI era, and challenges you to become the leader who develops the next leader.

Jason keeps the conversation grounded in reality, emphasizing the power of simple systems over complicated strategies. He tackles the common trap of overcomplicating the basics—from meditation to team communication—and reminds us that lagging indicators mean the work you put in today pays dividends weeks down the road.

Together, they map out a practical game plan for the final quarter: master your mindset daily, make connectivity a non-negotiable 25-minute priority, and lead your team (or yourself) with consistency that actually creates change. No waiting for New Year's resolutions. No excuses about busyness. Just actionable steps to finish 2025 strong and springboard into 2026.

If you're running a 4-7 figure business and feel like you're putting out fires instead of building momentum, this episode is your wake-up call.
