Thanks for the post and insight I've been in the same situation, so true this - "you can't scale yourself" I thought I could and almost burned out , I love the challenge of

deadlines, and delivering but not at the cost of sanity and health , systems and colleagues helps a lot with scaling

Thanks, Ethan. Glad I’m not the only one who has been in this boat. Did you put new systems in place afterward? If so, what were the first ones you implemented?

Hey Alex, I mostly Edit and Direct which are solo jobs, but I've made a conscious effort to collaborate more, when the Job offer comes, I write the pitch, someone makes the Pitch deck and negotiates, For Editing, I get my asst editor in touch with production early and work together more, so I lose a bit control over some aspects but as long as we all have the same goal to make a great, video, commercial, movie, etc. it works out better
