How To Transform & Scale Your Business
Even While You’re Busy Running It
Let Me Walk You Through The Six Critical Factors That Will Allow Your Business To Scale, Exponentially Grow Revenue, Enter New Markets and Achieve Your Most Ambitious Business Potential
How would you like to take your established business to the next level?
As business owners, our ambitions are often great – dreams that fuel and drive us. But somewhere along the way, these dreams are replaced with the day-to-day operations of running your business. There are small wins, sure, but I’m talking about groundbreaking advances that let you compete on a new level.
Are you feeling frustrated with a lack of real business growth? Are there new markets you’re thinking about, or new products you’d like to launch? Maybe you’re looking to build the next international 7-figure business, but you’re stuck right on the doorstep of success?
I’ve seen excellent business owners try and fail to scale their operations to take their business to new heights. I’ve seen entrepreneurs stress out, burn out and eventually give up on their dreams of huge success. Why does this happen? Why are business owners getting frustrated, overwhelmed and emotionally drained by their dream job?
Because they try to do it alone. They try to get it done off the side of their desk. They ignore their mindset and stick to their comfort zone.
And ultimately, they fail.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
I’m going to introduce you to an overview of the 6 key tactics that I’ve discovered over the past 30 years, for evaluating and altering some of your entrepreneurial business behaviours, that will get you safely and successfully to the next level of business growth. These are truly the 6 Steps of the perfect business growth process!
You MUST have these 6 tactics in mind BEFORE you even begin your business scaling process. They are crucial in creating and acting on the growth processes that will produce the results you’ve been dreaming of.
Then, we’re going to take a deeper dive into just the first step of these foundational tactics so you will know exactly WHY you’re feeling those thoughts of overwhelm and frustration and why your current behaviours as the business owner aren’t serving the needs of the business any longer.
You’re probably here because:
You’ve tried and failed to scale your business in a meaningful way.
You’re overwhelmed by what’s out there for entrepreneurs looking to scale, and you don’t know where to start.
You’re feeling the pressure and in your gut you know you have to grow and evolve, or get behind.
You’re tired of doing everything yourself, and you’re looking for reliable, tested and trusted strategies that you can apply today to see real, measurable results.
As time went on and I became more experienced with managing and growing businesses I worked with, it became increasingly clear to me how business owners and entrepreneurs all struggle with the same basic issues.
Time after time, I met business owners who were stumped, because they discovered they could no longer run everything themselves. Moreover, entrepreneurs whose businesses grow past a certain point, require more skill, equipment, people and systems than they may have ever imagined when they first started out!
What I discovered was, small business owners really need help getting into the right mindset to get past their feelings of overwhelm and frustration in order to continue to make the best decisions when it comes to scaling and growing their businesses.
It also became clear to me, more often than not, that owners and entrepreneurs really have no idea how to do this effectively and consistently! Not because they don’t have the brain power or the experience, but rather because there is too much information and too little value out there to sift through, so they would quickly give up the research to focus on maintaining their business.
So I became obsessed with understanding and working with the business owner mindset as both an art and a science!
Yes, I became like a mad scientist: I wanted to know every detail and factor that went into the perfect owner mindset, leading to their decisions regarding the growth and operations of their businesses.
It’s Time You Embraced The Owner Mindset And Made It Work FOR You To Achieve Growth and Success You’re Excited About!
I recognized that changing owner behaviour was the first step and the key to opening up a business and allowing it to grow to the next level. It all begins with the Owner’s Mindset!
The bottom line here is that growth and success is all about you, the business owner, and how your thinking and acting like a solo-preneur, although clearly serving you well up to now, is actually standing in your way! That’s right my friends. This is about you learning from all the mistakes and errors I’ve seen and worked with, so you don’t have to go through the same grief.
- If you think you know it all or you’ve done it all, it’s time to pause: that’s where I’ve seen other owners wrong!
- It’s about you being open to learning a new way of thinking and acting to and within your business.
- Being willing to adopt new ways of doing things in order to adapt to business growth challenges.
- Not treating taking your business to the next level as, ‘business as usual’ or ‘same ol’, same ol’.
- Getting out of your own way and allowing for the training system to take the place of your business owner biases.
There Are Six Tactics For Evaluating and Changing Your Business Behaviour That Lead To Growth And Success
You MUST have these 6 tactics in mind BEFORE you even begin your business scaling process. They are crucial in creating and acting on the growth processes that will produce the results you’ve been dreaming of.
As the key business owner, you must start off with your own self-assessment of your personal Mindset. What I mean here, is you need to really, objectively understand where & how YOU, as the primary business owner, are operating & behaving within your business. In this step, you get your head around how your personal beliefs, journey and behaviours are at play in your business right now and how this is either supporting or hindering your business’s ability to keep growing! *hint* – This is by far the hardest part of the business transformation! Doing an analysis of how YOU are impacting the business, both positively and negatively, takes a ton of courage and the willingness to be open and vulnerable to personal change and growth.
If you haven’t already, you must do a formal Competitive Strategic Assessment of your business including an internal organization review of the structure & work processes of your company. This is a key step in preparing your business for the growth it is either already undergoing or will go through in the near future. This strategic analysis should include 3 key components:
- Identifying and committing to an overall generic strategy, based on the business’s position in the market and it’s long term growth potential.
- An evaluation of the strategic environment, sometimes called a S.W.O.T. and/or a P.E.S.T. analysis. This will give you a clear indication of what your internal strengths and weaknesses are as well as the threats and opportunities that exist in the external environment.
- Finally, an evaluation of the design & structure of your organization, including a top-down review of all the key departments, units, roles and work processes of your business. This review will inevitably show you the work gaps and bottlenecks in your organization, which could be choking off your business’s ability to operate at full efficiency. This will also show you where your business needs to modify it’s work processes including what specific work needs defining or redefining.
Next, you will need to zero in on and perform an effectiveness assessment of your major business processes to identify the immediate solutions required to get your business to the next level of growth. These key area reviews often include finance, technology, sales, production, logistics, service fulfillment and others as needed. Remember that throughout this process, you will be comparing your own personal behaviours against the work of the business. In other words, you will be evaluating where YOU are working in the business. Are you still performing all the accounts payable/receivables? Are you out on the production line, working at some part of the product assembly? Do you still manage all the shipping and order fulfillment? Where is YOUR personal ‘go-to’ favourite place to ‘hang out’ in your business? More importantly, do you actually NEED to be there??
You will evaluate, identify and implement solutions to the people needs of your business, including people systems & processes such as hiring, firing, motivating and designing the work of your people. This step naturally comes from Step #2, where you’re looking at the design of your organization.
You’ll need to design a complete 1-year and 3-year practical operating plan for the business, so you have a written blueprint of where you’re going and how you’re going to get there without the wheels falling off! This plan will also include very clear, specific and measurable RESULTS, so you know exactly where you’re going in your transformation process.
You need to begin taking action on your blueprint using simple project management tools. The key with project management is to begin tracking your time, money, labour and other important resources as you build out the systems and take on the growth tasks of your business. This will allow you to stay on track with the work of the business and keep you focused on your results. Every successful business campaign can be run using the simple tools of project management. It really does change the game for you.
Sounds simple? It’s supposed to be – but the proof is in the pudding.
How to plan, execute and implement these six steps is what sets successful business owners apart from everyone else. The best part is that you don’t have to go through this alone!

in six weeks – complete with homework assignments, tools and resources
that cut out the leg work and hours of research that you would need to
put into getting these steps done.
Of course, you can do this work yourself – but without the momentum and
motivation from your coach, 80% of business owners never complete the
six step process and find themselves stuck in the same place, months
later.

This first step is where the transformation process MUST begin to take place. That’s right! It all begins with you! Without the evaluation of why you’re doing what you’re doing and whether or not what you’re doing is actually working for your business, then you will be setting yourself up for possible failure in your business growth.
Let me ask you a question
This is the fundamental issue that you are probably facing right now in your own business! Up to now, you’ve learned to rely totally on your own wits, brainpower, stamina and intuition to move your business forward. You’ve learned to be highly resourceful in securing the funds, expertise, contacts and whatever else you needed, in growing your business. Up to now – It’s all been on you!
I’m here to tell you, in order to take your business to its next level of growth, you must now learn a new set of skills. These are the behaviours I call, the CEO suite of skills. Every successful CEO in history has had either all or a majority of these abilities.
More importantly, you must also identify and alter the solo-preneur behaviours that have served you so well up to now, but that now stand in the way of your progress forward.
Bottom Line: What’s worked well for you up to now, may not be what will work going forward.
