#1006 Can you scale a business without losing yourself in the process? In part 2 of this two-part episode, Luka Petrovic returns to dig into the systems and mindset behind growing Sydney Music Lessons beyond himself. Luka gets candid about where he thinks AI can (and can't) help — like sourcing partnership leads, but never replacing human-led recruiting or relationship-building — and lays out his framework for separating "business maintenance" tasks from true growth tasks so owners can focus on the work only they can do. He also opens up about the software stack running his marketplace, why quality always wins over speed, and the importance of protecting your health and personal life so your business doesn't collapse alongside you. Luka closes with his best advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: list out everything you're good at, because your next business idea is probably already on that list!
