If Your Business Cannot Run Without You, You Do Not Own a Business: A Review of "Entrepreneurs Anonymous" by Kelli Lewis
I am genuinely excited to welcome Kelli Lewis to Your Partner In Success Radio this coming June, 2026, and honestly, reading her book only made that anticipation grow. Entrepreneurs Anonymous: A Workaholic's Guide to Building a Business That Runs Without You is one of those rare books that tells you what you need to hear, not just what feels good to read.
Here is the uncomfortable truth Kelli puts right on the table: you built the business, and now it is running your life. Sound familiar? It does to a lot of us.
Kelli Lewis is an accountant and business operations expert with nearly two decades of experience, and she brings all of that expertise to help founders fix what is breaking their businesses and burning them out. But what separates this book from the sea of business advice out there is that Kelli has lived this. She built a thriving firm from the ground up while raising two sons as a single mother, and she knows firsthand what it means to push past exhaustion and lose yourself in the process.
This book is not about working less. It is about working smarter by building something that does not collapse the moment you step away. She shows you how to escape the ownership trap, stop being the bottleneck in your own company, and build systems, hires, and boundaries that protect both profit and peace. Amazon
It is practical. It is compassionate. And it is written by someone who genuinely gets it, not from theory but from real life.
If you are a founder, a small business owner, or anyone who has built something beautiful that somehow became a prison, this book is your way out. I cannot wait to dig even deeper into this conversation with Kelli on the show. Stay tuned.
Entrepreneurs Anonymous is available now on Amazon and wherever books are sold. You can also find it on Audible.
