Are you ready to become the true CEO of your business?

You’re ready for more freedom but:

  • You find your calendar is always full 
  • You can’t seem to find time to build the systems & structures that would streamline your business
  • You’ve been struggling to set boundaries with your team
  • You can’t seem to take even a couple of days away without feeling stressed or guilty

Well, my friend – then welcome to this week’s podcast series GET OUT OF THE WEEDS & back into the driver’s seat where each day I’ll share with you how to stop being Chief Everything Officer and instead build a self-running engine.

  • Mon, Ep. 134 – The Growth Trap: How to Take the Pain Out of Growing Your Biz (listen here)
  • Tues, Ep. 135 – The M-Myth: Why Doing More Isn’t the Answer (listen here)
  • Wed, Ep. 136 – 7 Scaling Mistakes to Avoid
  • Thurs, Ep. 137 – Scale Sustainably: How to Build Your Self-Running Engine

While today I cover the 7 most common and most costly scaling mistakes, remember that building a sustainably profitable business is about always up-levelling your mindset and learning new skills.

To scale a business, it’s about shifting from the doer in your business to the leader of your company!

Entrepreneurs who earn 10x more don’t work 10x harder!

ACTION PLAN:
Scaling your company will require you to:

  1. Slow down before you scale
  2. Simplify, starting with your offers
  3. Stabilize & optimize to create cash flow reserves
  4. Invest in your business
  5. Rinse & repeat
  6. CTA
