Hi There,
I’m sure you’ve dreamt of scaling your business, expanding, growing (insert big picture goal) here.
Kudos, high five, awesome! I’m glad that you have an audacious goal in mind because a journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step and YOU CAN DO IT.
But hold your horses, don’t move too fast without a proper assessment. Have you ever heard the saying “don’t put the cart before the horse” in other words don’t do things in the wrong order.
Scaling is one thing, but sustaining the growth is another. Don’t be a statistic and fail because you grew without a solid foundation.
I’d like to share 7 ingredients to scale successfully.
1. Document all your processes, procedures and policies
2. Build a strong management and governance team, upgrade your team members and their skillsets. Give them new experiences.
3. Focus on key objectives to achieve in your company. The fewer more impactful things, the better and you must ensure that there is accountability
4. Identify your company culture. There may not be a system for everything in your company but your culture will help your team make decisions when no system exists
5. Systemize – anything that is a routine activity should be systemized so that they are simpler, easier and faster
6. Finance – can your business model handle scale? If you are in a brick and mortar business it will take capital to open multiple locations, what is your cash flowing saying? Can it support the vision? Do you need to raise funding?
7. Distance – as the owner you need to give your team space to stand on their two feet and grow. Often times when the owner is always present the team reverts to you for decision making. Spending intentional time away will help validate that your company is ready and will help with growth and maturation
So now ask yourself, are you ready to scale your business? If you need help with documenting processes and want to empower your team, grab the SOP workbook here.
