Cary Prejean, founder of Strategic Business Advisors and a seasoned business strategist, joined The Business Mic to discuss how entrepreneurs can shift from simply running a business to intentionally designing one that supports their long-term goals, financial health, and personal satisfaction. Drawing from decades of experience in accounting, financial systems, and business coaching, Cary walks us through what it really means to “manage by the numbers” and why most business owners are flying blind. He explains how using weekly dashboards, actionable financial data, and strategic planning helps business leaders get out of reactive mode and make data-informed decisions in real time. A central theme in Cary’s work is helping business owners transition from being the business operator to becoming a true business owner. He outlines how entrepreneurs can develop a system of processes that empower their teams, reduce the owner’s day-to-day involvement, and ensure consistency in operations. This shift, he argues, is not only key to scaling, but also to avoiding burnout and reclaiming time. Throughout the conversation, Cary highlights the psychological and structural obstacles many founders face, from ego-driven micromanagement to lack of trust in their teams. He challenges owners to recognize when they themselves are the bottleneck and offers practical solutions to delegate control without sacrificing quality. Cary also emphasizes that great businesses are intentionally designed. Through clear strategic visioning, understanding satisfaction as “enough action,” and aligning business design with personal goals, entrepreneurs can build companies that are financially viable and personally fulfilling. For anyone currently working in the business instead of on it, this episode is a must-listen. Cary delivers a mix of tough truths and deeply practical wisdom, all designed to help business owners step into the role of visionary leaders, not just overworked problem-solvers.
