The Capable Woman Trap: Why Being Good at Everything Is Keeping You Stuck with Diane Rolston (DW350)

Are you really good at figuring things out on your own? Then congratulations, that might be exactly what's keeping you from scaling.

Listen as Diane Rolston exposes what she calls "the capable woman trap" and why the most successful women don't do it alone.

She reveals why being good at everything is probably your biggest liability and how your competence might actually be your cage.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

1. What the capable woman trap is and why every time you successfully solve something alone, you reinforce this dangerous pattern
2. The hidden cost of DIYing everything
3. A real client example of a high-achiever who couldn’t grow her income and how she finally did and gained her time back
4. Diane's personal story: stuck at the same income for 3 years, working 60-80 hour weeks doing everything herself, until her income doubled within 6 months of getting support
5. The game-changing principle: "Capacity doesn't scale. Only supported capacity scales."
6. What you're actually turning down: speaking opportunities, dream clients, and partnerships, not because you always say "no" directly, but because you miss deadlines or have no bandwidth
7. Why Oprah didn't drop her coach when she became successful. She got MORE coaches (plus what Fortune 500 CEOs understand that you might be missing)
8. The shift from "Can I do this alone?" (yes, you can) to "What's possible when I don't do it alone?"
