In this episode of Coffee with Closers, I sits down with Mandy Ellefson - business strategist, consultant, and author of The Hands-Off CEO. Mandy's story starts with a hard truth: she built an agency that nearly broke her, and had to shut it down while nine months pregnant. What came next changed everything - not just for her, but for hundreds of service-based business owners she's helped since. This is a conversation every agency owner, consultant, or service-based entrepreneur needs to hear. Mandy breaks down exactly why most businesses get stuck, and what it actually takes to scale - without watering down your work or burning yourself out.
