You Only Get 18 Summers... | George Rivera

You Only Get 18 Summers... | George Rivera5 Jun47 min

At the peak of George Rivera building his company, he was practically printing money, but was working 90 hours a week and hating life.

The business had everything. His family got what was left.

He had to stop being the answer to everything inside his company. He built the systems, transferred the ownership, and stepped back. Two years later the business had scaled past $50 million and he was working 30 hours a week. Sometimes zero.

In this episode, we covered:

→ Why founders build a prison for themselves, even when they're financially free

→ The "18 summers" framework that reframes how little time you actually have

→ How to start reclaiming time even as a solopreneur with zero team

→ What it costs your marriage when the business becomes your identity

→ The difference between scaling freedom and scaling chaos

George, thank you for driving three hours to sit across from me and share your story with our audience!
