Scaling Smarter: Jason Moss on Breaking Free from Six-Figure Plateaus

🎧 Listen to this episode

In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with business coach Jason Moss, an expert in helping entrepreneurs scale beyond the six-figure ceiling. Jason shares insights from his own entrepreneurial journey and highlights the key mindset and operational shifts business owners must make to achieve freedom, reduce overwhelm, and build scalable systems that support sustainable growth.

From Operator to Owner: The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

Jason Moss knows firsthand how easy it is for ambitious entrepreneurs to build themselves into a corner. Early success often comes from hustle and wearing multiple hats—but as Jason explains, what gets you to six figures won’t get you to seven. Most of his clients come to him exhausted, buried in the day-to-day, and desperate for more freedom. The root issue? They’re stuck in the operator mindset.

An operator is focused on doing—micromanaging tasks, chasing perfection, and struggling to delegate. It’s a pattern that leads to burnout. Transitioning to an owner mindset, on the other hand, is about building a business that works without your constant input. Owners create systems, trust their team, and focus their time on high-leverage strategy rather than low-value tasks. Jason challenges his clients to shift how they view delegation: if someone can do the job 80% as well as you, that’s a win. It frees up your bandwidth to focus on scaling.

Jason’s personal story reflects this transformation. After launching his first tech product at age 13, he developed a deep passion for entrepreneurship and marketing. But even with early wins, he experienced the same frustrations his clients face. It wasn’t until he embraced the owner mindset—and learned to let go—that his business truly scaled. Today, he coaches business owners who want that same transformation: from overwhelmed operator to empowered CEO.

UMI was the natural outgrowth of his first startup, SavingsAngel.com which had grown to more than 50 employees and grossed more than $6 million in sales with zero paid ads. He did it all through building authority and serving audiences in the media.
