Special Guest: Scott Ritzheimer https://www.scalearchitects.com/founders/ Visit his website: https://www.scalearchitects.com/ In this insightful episode, I, Karen Roberts, sit down with Scott Ritzheimer, a seasoned "scale architect" who has helped launch over 20,000 businesses and nonprofits. Scott shares his transformative journey, from supporting startups to scaling his own multimillion-dollar business, which thrived with over a decade of double-digit growth. Scott opens up about a pivotal phase in his business, where, despite numerous strategies and expert advice, profit margins were declining. The breakthrough came when he discovered Les McKeown's concept of organizational life cycle stages. Scott dives deep into the "Whitewater" stage—a challenging phase where businesses face systemic issues caused by growing complexity. By aligning his team with tailored solutions for their specific stage, Scott was able to triple the bottom line within a year and reach "Predictable Success." Now, Scott dedicates his career to helping entrepreneurs navigate these life cycle stages: Early Struggle, Fun, Whitewater, and Predictable Success. He offers practical advice to identify the stage your business is in and shares how targeted strategies can unlock profitability, scalability, and leadership confidence. We also explore the common hurdles coaches, consultants, and service-based entrepreneurs face when trying to scale. Scott addresses the "artisan trap," where individuals get stuck oscillating between selling and delivering services, limiting their long-term growth. Key Takeaways Sales as a Priority: Learn to sell effectively or outsource sales to build a thriving business. Structured Processes: Implement frameworks to streamline service delivery, free up time, and focus on growth. Avoid the Doom Loop: Stop over-delivering on custom solutions and holding onto unprofitable clients to enable consistent growth and referrals. Scalability Decisions: Determine whether to remain a solo practitioner or step into scaling through team-building and leadership. This episode is packed with actionable advice to help entrepreneurs and service-based professionals overcome their challenges, scale sustainably, and achieve Predictable Success. Tune in for a roadmap to unlock your business's full potential! Wherever you are on your journey, we have a solution for you.

The stages of business every entrepreneur works through, what they look and feel like and how to work through them. The final stage of business, predictable success, you can expect to reach if you make the conscious decision to work through the other stages and what you need to commit to in order to reach this level. The crucially important thing that will happen when you hit the "whitewater" stage and why it will require immediate decisions and action. Different parts of your business can be in different stages of the life cycle. He explains the importance of the results of the quiz we use to determine if someone is going to be the best fit for a position we're trying to fill and whether or not those categories are deal breakers when it comes to someone being in the right role.

What is the best way to predict a team's future success? How should your leadership style change in view of where your team is in its lifecycle? Does team development have a compounding effect or is it cyclical?We are joined today by a rising business star, Scott Ritzheimer, the CEO of Scale Architects, where he uses the Predictable Success methodology to help organizations scale and sustain success. Scott helped start nearly 20,000 new businesses and nonprofits and with his business partner started leading their multimillion-dollar business through an exceptional and extended growth phase, over 10 years of double-digit growth all before he turned 35. Scott explains in this episode of The Leadership Project the 4 leadership styles that bring together a team where individuals actively contribute to better the current state and consequently, execute to achieve the future state.It was tempting to expand on the analogies as we talked about the imperative roles each team member plays and how leaders can get a team to move together. There is a difference between fighter pilots and ground infantry, between a pianist and drummer or between introverts and extroverts, and it is in the leader's capability to lean into their strengths that will co-create a harmonious work environment.We enumerate these 4 interdependent leadership styles as excerpt from Scott's business partner Les McKeown's book Predictable Success: · Visionary: The Visionaries are the starters. They are full of ideas, comfortable at risk taking and exceedingly flexible.· Operator: The Operators are the doers. They are detail-oriented and can improvise the next steps to get to their goal. · Processor: Processors think in algorithms and are risk averse. They are naturally inclined towards systems, processes, execution, and protocol.· Synergist: The Synergist is what makes a corporate team a team. They aspire to make teamwork essential.Download this episode and subscribe to learn more about how to integrate these 4 leadership styles in creating your team's future success and the recurring remix that a leader needs to do to meet the lifecycle needs of your business.You can learn more about Scott Ritzheimer and his work in Scale Architects below.

“Why would anybody do this by choice? Number one reason over and over and over again is not money, money is the way you measure success, but the thing they are looking for is freedom and autonomy. That's why people launch their own ventures.” - Les McKeown, Predictable Success Les McKeown is the Founder and CEO of Predictable Success. Les first began to recognize recurring growth patterns early in his career as a serial entrepreneur. Les used the experience he gained during that time to co-found one of the first business incubators in the world, which he and his then business partner developed over a decade into a multi-national consulting company that advised on the creation and growth of hundreds of organizations worldwide. In this episode of the School for Humanity, I speak with Les about his early drive to get into business, how Predictable Success came about, the difference between scaling and growing your business, building systems and infrastructure, and effective team based decision making as the secret to scaling your organization.
