From Homeless to 9 Figures: Stephen Scoggins- Alignment, Legacy, and the Real Reason Businesses Fail

What if hustle was hurting your growth, not helping it? Stephen Scoggins built a nine-figure company, sold it, and now teaches entrepreneurs how to stop being the bottleneck in their own businesses. In this episode, he unpacks the inner friction that keeps even the smartest leaders stuck and the surprising shift that unlocks scale, peace, and purpose. He also gets real about the 5 invisible constraints that quietly hold leaders hostage and how to shift from proving yourself to building something that actually lasts (with or without you in the room). If you’re a 6 or 7-figure entrepreneur and wondering what’s next, this episode is for you. Key Points From This Episode: • The 5 internal constraints that sabotage entrepreneurial growth • Why most entrepreneurs stay stuck at 6 or 7 figures • The 5 business drivers every entrepreneur must regularly re-evaluate • Why “hustle harder” is not a strategy and can actually sink your business • The 5 stages of growth that every business goes through • The difference between a $1M founder and a $10M+ founder (hint: it’s not charisma) • The surprising truth about personal brands that reach 8 figures • What to consider before you sell (or step away) from your company
