You didn’t build your business to micromanage every decision—or to be the only one who can make things work.

In this episode of Freedom to Exit, Lani breaks down what it really takes to build a team that runs without you. Whether you’re scaling for time freedom, a future sale, or just your first real vacation, the key is team autonomy—not just team size.

• Why performance metrics matter more than job titles
• How to hire vision-carriers, not just task-doers
• The exact signs your team can’t scale without you

• How to define KPIs and outcomes for every role
• The mindset shift from “I’ll just do it” to “Let’s build systems”
• Tools and automations to create true operational independence
