But what if loneliness isn't actually the biggest problem?\nIn this episode of Rooted & Relentless, Steph Rubio gets to the root of why running your business in isolation can quietly make everything harder—from decision-making and creativity to planning, growth, and your ability to see what's actually happening in your business.\nBecause when you're the CEO, marketer, salesperson, strategist, client success department, and occasionally the person responsible for unclogging the metaphorical toilet… it's incredibly easy to become too close to the problem. And when you're too close to the problem, your assumptions can start sounding like facts.\nOne slow month becomes \"this isn't working.\" One client objection becomes \"nobody can afford this.\" One exciting idea becomes \"I need to pivot my entire business.\" One frustrating offer becomes \"this offer is dead.\"\nThat's where the right community can change everything.
