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:

Slow down before you scale
Simplify, starting with your offers
Stabilize & optimize to create cash flow reserves
Invest in your business
Rinse & repeat
