What You Will Learn: How Molly started D2DInc and became involved with the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) shortly after to seek support and education What pain points D2DInc experienced at the seven-figure mark, and how they made a wildly successful business pivot out of consulting and into government contracts How the business pivot from consulting to contracts took time to implement but made a dramatic difference in the company's growth How the organization prioritized roles when they needed to recruit and hire new team members, and how they have worked to unify their team and its diverse roles What suggestions Molly has for any organization interested in making a business pivot into government purchasing contracts How Molly learned to delegate and begin working on the business rather than in it as the team grew from 8-10 people to over 80 How D2DInc's period of rapid growth caused the company's leadership to be stuck in a reactive mode, and how stabilizing the team allowed them to become more strategic How Molly and her team have developed a strategic meeting cadence that has helped them look ahead and be more intentional How NAWBO has launched a group called the NAWBO Circle specifically for the 3% of women-owned businesses that make more than $1 million in revenue About Molly Gimmel Molly K.
