Building a Scalable Team: Leadership Lessons from The Taco Project Closed Monday

    • Business

Summary
This week I sit down with Nick, Carmelo and Sebastian, the neighbohood friends and co-founders of The Taco Project, a taqueria with multiple locations in Westchester & Fairfield County. They discuss their background, how they started the business, the challenges they faced, and their plans for expansion. They also touch on the difficulties of finding new locations and adapting their model. Additionally, they share insights on how they balance work and family life. In this conversation, the hosts discuss the challenges and successes of running a business while balancing family life. They emphasize the importance of supporting each other and trusting their employees.
Takeaways

Starting a successful business requires a combination of passion, market research, and understanding customer needs.
Expanding to multiple locations involves learning from each location and continuously improving the business model.
Finding new locations can be challenging, especially in a competitive market with high rent prices.
Balancing work and family life requires setting priorities, delegating tasks, and valuing employees. Balancing family and business is a challenge, but with support and trust, it can be managed effectively.
Empowering employees and building a strong team are key to running a successful business.
Financial responsibility and strategic partnerships are important considerations for growth and expansion.
Letting go and thinking ahead are crucial for long-term success in entrepreneurship.
