When the Cat’s Away, the Mice Will Play!

We’ve all heard the saying, “When the cat’s away, the mice will play.”

But what happens when you — the business owner or leader — are the cat?

If your team struggles the moment, you step away, that’s not just a people issue — it’s a leadership and systems issue.

In this episode, we’ll talk about how to build a business that runs smoothly even when you’re not around.

You’ll learn how to:

• Set clear expectations that create confidence
• Document key systems so work doesn’t stop without you
• Empower employees to make smart decisions
• Build a culture of self-leadership that thrives independently

Because true leadership isn’t proven by what happens when you’re there — it’s proven by what happens when you’re not.

🎧 Listen in for real-world examples, practical takeaways, and a weekly challenge to help you build a stronger, more independent team.
