The Silent Trap Keeping 7-Figure Business Owners Stuck (After 40) - Ep #220

Most 7-figure business owners believe it’s their team, systems, or strategy holding them back.
The truth is sharper: those aren’t the real ceiling. It’s your capacity — and it’s bleeding into every decision you make.

In this episode, Ben Salkeld reveals the Silent Trap keeping men over 40 stuck grinding 60+ hours a week while younger competitors surge ahead. You’ll learn the “capacity container” model, why sacrificing marriage and health actually kills business growth, and the 4 pillars the top 1% use to expand their capacity so business and life rise together.

If you’ve plateaued at 7-figures, this will open your eyes.


Full Episode Breakdown:

Most business owners assume the answer to growth is a better team, stronger systems, or a new strategy. But after coaching over 1,400 seven-figure entrepreneurs, Ben discovered the real problem: they never upgraded their capacity.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why business growth stalls even when revenue looks solid on paper.
  • The “capacity container” model that explains overwhelm, slow decisions, and burnout.
  • The hidden cost of sacrificing hobbies, health, and marriage for business — and why it kills performance, not fuels it.
  • How the top 1% expand capacity to scale faster, work fewer hours, and reclaim energy for what actually matters.
  • The Capacity C.O.D.E.™ — a 4-pillar framework that multiplies your capacity and accelerates growth.
