Scaling too soon can sink you. Holding on too long can drain you. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, learn how to spot the signs that tell you whether to double down—or walk away. Paul shares a powerful story from his early ATM business where pride kept him stuck in a losing location. Once he finally bailed and shifted resources into a winning site, his profits doubled in just one month. That lesson became a blueprint for making clear, data-driven decisions. 🔑 Key takeaways: The difference between real pull (demand, momentum, energy) and fake pull (dread, chasing, draining work) Why bailing isn’t quitting—it’s choosing a better fight How to use numbers, mission, and team energy to decide if something deserves scaling Why scaling is simply repeating what already works—not forcing what doesn’t The bottom line? Courage is seeing things as they are and acting fast. If it’s working, scale with care. If it’s draining you, bail with respect and redirect your focus to better opportunities. 🎧 Tune in now and learn how to make cleaner, faster decisions that protect both your peace and your profits.
