Your business is doing $1M, $2M, $5M in revenue. From the outside, it looks like success. From the inside, you haven't taken a vacation in three years, your team can't make a decision without you, and you kept $87K on millions.

You didn't build a business. You built a job. And it was built to break.

Built to Break is a diagnostic manual for founder-dependent businesses between $500K and $10M in revenue. It won't tell you how to fix your business. It'll show you why it's broken across four pillars: Operations and Systems, Revenue and Sales, Financial Structure, and Team and Leadership.

Inside you'll find:

  • Why your business can't function without you (and why that's a design problem, not a work ethic problem)
  • The patterns that show up in every founder-dependent business, regardless of industry
  • Dollar-quantified breakdowns of what broken operations, revenue systems, financial structure, and team infrastructure actually cost
  • Why every hire fails, every tool dies, and every system you've tried to implement on a Saturday morning never sticks
  • A self-diagnostic that scores your business across all four pillars and tells you exactly where the cracks are
This isn't a motivational book. This isn't a step-by-step manual. This is the book that shows you what's actually happening inside your business while you're too busy running it to notice.

Includes a 10-question self-assessment with scoring guide.

For founders doing $500K to $10M who are ready to stop being the business and start building one.
