    When to Start Stabilizing and Prepare Your Business for Scalable Growth

    When to Start Stabilizing and Prepare Your Business for Scalable Growth

    On today's episode, we are pulling from 40-year-old research from the Harvard Business Review, published in 1983 by Churchill and Lewis. We're walking through the various stages of business so that you can get a good understanding of where you are, what your problems might be, what mistakes you might be making, and, really, what you can look forward to.
    Last week, we talked about startups and growth. I said that most business owners are stuck in growth. They go on to have this mom-and-pop type business, or they've just created themselves a job, or worse, they have really stunted any ability to go beyond where they are. It's a place where people languish.
    This is where they go out of business, and this is where they decide to go back and get a job and work for someone else, which is normal, but it doesn't have to be that way. There's actually a better place for everybody to be headed.
    That is what we are talking about today. We're going to go over the last three stages of business, one of which is the most overlooked stage and also happens to be my favorite.

    Aligning Small Business Actions with the Right Timing for Success

    Aligning Small Business Actions with the Right Timing for Success

    Today’s episode dives deep into the crucial alignment of business activities and their proper timing. It's a guide for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs who swear by the mantra of not just surviving but thriving in their ventures. Commitment to this journey is akin to marathon training – a progressive adaptation rather than a sprint. 
    I was thinking about some lessons that I try to teach my kids, and the one thing that I have been talking to them about for ages is the concept of having a good intention but being in the wrong place at the wrong time and getting into trouble. If you're a parent, I'm sure you have had the wrong place, wrong time conversation with your kids. 
    That's when I realized that business owners are doing the same thing or similar. They have good intentions, but it is the wrong project or action at the wrong time in their business.
    We're going to discuss the importance of understanding the startup phase, what it really takes, and how to ensure you’re not jumping ahead of yourself, leading to avoidable pitfalls. Plus, I'll be talking about an exclusive offer that might be the helping hand your business needs to elevate from grinding gears to cruising altitude.

    How to Measure Your Business Success and Avoid the "Hot Mess Express"

    How to Measure Your Business Success and Avoid the "Hot Mess Express"

    How do you know if you're successful? How do you know if your business is successful? I had this funny moment the other week when I told my local business community to stop sending me referrals of businesses that are riding the Hot Mess Express.
    There were about 30 of us there, and we had a really good chuckle, but since then, I've had people coming up to me saying that they think they're a hot mess when they actually aren't who I was referring to. I had this moment where I was like, “Wow, people's perception of themselves is really off.”
    It was interesting because there were a number of seasoned business owners who I see as a benchmark of success, who came up to me after that hot mess express comment, and said that they felt like they were a hot mess. It seems like small business owners have no idea how to gauge whether or not they're doing a good job, which makes so much sense
    Keeping a small business afloat is no easy feat. It's a rollercoaster ride filled with uncertainty, discomfort, and the constant need to embrace the unknown. As small business owners, we often find ourselves craving timelines and deadlines, desperate for a roadmap to guide us through the tumultuous seas of entrepreneurship.
    In the last six months, my own business has witnessed significant changes. I made the tough decision to close a group program that had been a cornerstone of my business's success over the past five years. This episode will provide insight into the timeline of these changes and how they reflect a real-life pivot in a small business.

    Building Efficiency through Workflows and Automation to Free Up Time and Capacity

    Building Efficiency through Workflows and Automation to Free Up Time and Capacity

    Let's connect over something I've been hearing a lot lately. Picture this: small business owners like you and me, bustling through their days, juggling tasks, and feeling like they're stuck in the trenches. Sound familiar? Trust me, you're not alone.
    I've been chatting with owners of businesses bringing in over a million dollars annually, with teams of ten or more. Whether they're in trades like contractors, HVAC, electricians, plumbers, service repair companies, or professional services like accountants, attorneys, and financial planners, their struggles are remarkably similar. From constant interruptions to the nagging feeling that their business relies too heavily on them, the frustrations are real.
    They also have the same challenges around managing employees, measuring work, their time, and how they allot their time. It's all really similar frustrations around the fact that they are always in the trenches, doing work that they have paid someone else to do, frazzled by the constant interruptions from employees and clients.
    But here's the good news: it doesn't have to be this way. Last time, we talked about systems and processes. Today, it's all about workflows and automation—the keys to unlocking your time and reclaiming your sanity.

    Decoding Efficiency: Understanding Systems and Processes for Business Growth

    Decoding Efficiency: Understanding Systems and Processes for Business Growth

    In this fast-paced and overwhelming business environment, adopting a mantra of "back to basics" to navigate through chaotic times and distractions is crucial. Especially in small businesses, with limited resources and time, it becomes even more essential to establish effective systems and processes to maintain focus on revenue generation and client service.
    As a small business owner, it's common to feel uncertain about terminology, such as what constitutes a system or a process. Many entrepreneurs find themselves accidentally successful, having skipped the foundational building blocks in their eagerness to jump into business endeavors. Therefore, understanding these concepts' definitions and practical implications is pivotal for business sustainability and growth.
    In this episode, we're breaking down the role of systems and processes for your business growth.

Latest episode!

I have always struggled with staying focused on a new program or system. I immediately become overstimulated, feeling the need to explore every feature and function, often losing all self-control. However, I realized last week that Monday is different. There is something about the platform that doesn’t trigger the same mania I experience. I believe it's the visual layout and ease of automation use. I'm still not perfect and can easily create a giant board with hundreds of rows and columns in an afternoon. But once the data is there, it's straightforward to start manipulating the information to perform whatever functions you are looking for. You can replace just about any platform by setting up Monday correctly and streamlining all business systems.
