About Mark Dolfini: Mark Dolfini is a Life and Business Strategist, U.S. Marine veteran, and bestselling author of The Time-Wealthy Investor 2.0. As the founder of Strategic Boardroom LLC, he helps entrepreneurs and business owners regain control of their calendars, design businesses that serve their lives, and break free from the trap of constant busyness. Drawing on his background in accounting, commercial lending, property management, and real estate investment, Mark blends practical systems with deep personal insight to help clients achieve true freedom and fulfillment. His work centers on helping high-performing leaders reconnect with their purpose, their families, and the vision that inspired them to start their business in the first place.

In this episode, Ryan and Mark Dolfini discuss:

• Aligning personal purpose with the direction of your business
• Creating systems and structure to win back time and efficiency
• Overcoming the growth challenges faced by solopreneurs and small business owners
• Developing accountability, mindset, and emotional intelligence for long-term success

Key Takeaways:

• Entrepreneurs who design their business before defining their personal vision often end up serving their company instead of letting it serve their life, making it critical to first clarify what fulfillment, family, and freedom truly mean before scaling operations.
• The VIPER framework—Vision, Infrastructure, Process, Execution, and Reporting—provides a practical roadmap for small business owners to connect big-picture strategy with daily action, ensuring that plans not only look good on paper but also translate into measurable results.
• Scaling sustainably requires letting go of the need to do everything personally, recognizing that delegating $20-an-hour work allows leaders to focus their energy on $300-an-hour strategy and growth activities that actually move the business forward.
• Long-term business success depends on emotional maturity and balance, and leaders who nurture their relationships, faith, and personal well-being create stability at home that naturally strengthens performance and clarity at work.
