In this episode Gary shares the practical steps that you need to take in order to grow and scale your business. When you are looking to build a profitable lifestyle business there are points where you need to leverage other people's time, skills and resources in order to get to the ‘next level' of business success. This is often an uncomfortable process, but as Gary shares, you have to ‘let go to grow'. First outsource finances (like a bookkeeper) then bring in an administrator (get that admin off your desk!), bring in a marketer (marketing is the life blood of your business), then get a PA (maybe you promote the admin person to PA), then get someone in to handles sales, by which point you might want to create an Operations Manager role to manage the rest of that team.  In this episode you will learn:   How to delegate  Why delegation leads to elevation  Why it is important that your PA manages you  How the right Operation Manager can become the puppeteer of the business Why sales is always the last thing you delegate The Proactive Podcast with Gary Das is brought to you by the awarding winning business owner, author, speaker, coach and mentor.  This show brings you proven strategies to improve your life and your business, along with interviews from some of the most inspiring and motivating personalities across the globe.
