Podcasts about scale your business

Episode Description I have to address the exhausting cycle of overthinking: Replaying conversations, searching for more information, worrying about outcomes, and delaying action until every possible detail feels certain. In a world full of podcasts, videos, social-media posts, AI tools, and endless advice, more information can actually create more mental clutter. The path forward is not necessarily more thinking. It is a pause, a clearer focus on what you can control, practical action, grace for mistakes, and a willingness to use your gifts and skills for the good of other people. Generosity is part of getting unstuck because it shifts attention away from self-focused rumination and toward meaningful contribution. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

Build a Better Organizational Chart: Track Your Tasks, Improve Cash Flow & Scale Your Business - Pt. 3 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Once you have gone through this exercise, you will have done a number of things. First, you will have created all the job descriptions within the business because you've listed the tasks you went through and put your name next to each one. Soon you will change the name because your goal and your job thereafter, when working with your mirror and your strategic partner, is to fire yourself upward every quarter for the first 18 months. And that will get you to stage four in 18 months or less. It depends on how fast you keep firing yourself upward. Thereafter, fire yourself upward every quarter for another 18 months, and that will bring you to stage seven. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. This is a surefire way to build your business structure because you will learn which tasks you can delegate and which you cannot, and soon you will start handing them off to other people.

You want to be very specific so I'll use the example of getting the mail you may write getting the mail and it takes 10 minutes, what I'd suggest that you do is write down walking to the post office to get the mail two minutes picking up the mail one minute sorting the mail three minutes handing the mail off to the appropriate person. Two minutes, answering my mail, eight minutes. There are five tasks there; list them separately, and put your name next to each one and how long it takes.

Build a Better Organizational Chart: Track Your Tasks, Improve Cash Flow & Scale Your Business  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. You'll notice as you look at the organizational chart, there's you on top, the CEO; you're the CEO of Me Incorporated. And on the left-hand side, as you look at your page, that's all the activities of the business that bring in customers and cash. That's the D and the I side of the organizational chart- anything that brings it in and on the right side is the S and C part of the organizational chart, and that's everything that keeps it in. So the dominant and income side brings it in and the systems and controls size–side. Make sure you keep it in the business and then along the bottom. There's one large box with a bunch of lines in it. Here's the assignment. For the next two weeks. Write down everything you do in brutal detail and be honest with yourself, write down every task that you do, and how long it takes. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  Now, what are some blind spots for stage five? And it's a bit of a paradox, because there really should be no blind spots at stage five. So let me discuss a bit of why franchises fail. Whether you bought one or built it to this point, the number one reason franchises fail is that owners deviate from the system. They don't follow through on the system. They refuse to let go of micromanaging their employees, whom they have trained and empowered and helped design the systems with. These are the areas you need to be very, very careful of because the personality and your disk graph for stage five, you'll notice that D part has come down a bit, you as the owner do not need to be driving everything you can let go. That will free up the systems to create incremental improvement in all areas.  Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

What happens when a founder stops asking, “How big can I make this?” and starts asking, “What do I actually want this business to give me?” In this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ sits down with Ashish Gupta for a wide-ranging conversation about entrepreneurship, operational leadership, scaling, spirituality, focus and fulfillment. Ashish challenges one of business culture's dominant assumptions: that every successful company should continually grow. Growth has a cost. It can require more capital, people, emotional investment, time, complexity and personal sacrifice. Before accepting that cost, founders should determine whether expansion serves the life and sense of completion they are actually seeking. The conversation then moves from philosophy into operations. CJ and Ashish examine the difference between the visionary who can see where an organization needs to go and the operator who can translate that vision into what must happen this week, this month and this quarter. Ashish discusses fractional operational leadership, why traditional coaching can sometimes leave founders with longer to-do lists, and why small and midsized businesses may benefit from operators who do more than recommend changes - they help execute them. The conversation becomes more personal as Ashish explains how spiritual service influences his leadership. He discusses emotional stability, empathy versus sympathy, individualized management, service and learning to anchor one's internal state somewhere deeper than constantly changing business circumstances. CJ connects those principles with his own experiences around faith, mentorship, legacy, delegation and building systems capable of carrying a founder's vision.The result is not simply a conversation about scaling. It is a conversation about deciding what deserves to be scaled in the first place. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Talent can build a busy practice, but talent alone cannot make it scalable, durable, or transferable. Talent alone will create a job. Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen unpack what operational fitness really requires: clear systems, capable people, consistent training, and a patient journey that does not depend on the doctor carrying every detail. From processes and procedures to scripting and mastery, the path forward is a practice that becomes more predictable, more transferable, and far less dependent on one person while creating a stronger experience for both the team and the patients they serve. In This Episode You Will Discover: Why natural talent can become the hidden limitation inside a growing practice. The distinction between the clinical practice and the economic engine supporting it. Five operational systems that determine whether growth remains predictable. What stale, ignored, or poorly trained systems reveal about organizational health. The moment scripting stops feeling restrictive and becomes a source of freedom. Episode Highlights 03:58 - What changes when a practice is treated as something entirely different from the business behind it? 04:15 - Two sides of the same organization may be working toward very different outcomes. 05:10 - The very talent that creates early success can quietly become the thing preventing scale. 07:57 - At what point does a demanding job finally become a durable business? 09:59 - A missing system rarely looks like the real problem until the entire team starts feeling it. 16:11 - Why operational fitness can never become something a practice simply checks off and moves past. 17:33 - Three different roles compete for the doctor's attention, but only one should be in control at a time. 19:45 - What patients experience is only one layer of the system shaping their results. 22:24 - The path from winging it to mastery passes through a stage most doctors resist. 27:02 - The next level of operational fitness begins when systems, people, data, and automation start working together. 28:03 - Adding the right service can improve patient care while strengthening your practice. Dr. Eric welcomes the expertise of Dr. Dan RuitenBeek from Success Partner Shockwave Centers of America to discuss how regenerative shockwave therapy, staff training, and implementation support help chiropractors expand treatment options, retain more patients, and create new revenue opportunities.

What do you do when you've outgrown hustle, but your business hasn't caught up yet? Today's guest helps entrepreneurs navigate one of the most challenging stages of business growth: the point where working harder is no longer the answer. Instead, success depends on building the systems, teams, and leadership capacity that allow a business to scale. As a business coach and entrepreneur, he works with owners who have achieved success but find themselves trapped by it. Their business depends on them for too many decisions, too many approvals, and too much day-to-day involvement. His work helps leaders build businesses that can grow without becoming more dependent on the owner. He is also the author of "Your Business Growth Playbook: Breakthrough Strategies to Scale Your Business for Business Owners Who've Outgrown Hustle," a practical guide for entrepreneurs ready to stop being the bottleneck and start building a business that can thrive beyond their personal capacity. If you've ever felt like your business can't grow unless you work harder, this conversation will challenge that assumption and offer a different path forward. Please join me in welcoming Jeremy Shapiro.  In this episode, we discuss the following:

S6:E66 The Real Story About Scaling & Selling a Business with Bryan Clayton Bryan has actually done the thing entrepreneurs dream about: built a traditional business to $10M, sold it, then built again in an entirely different arena.  Nobody wants to buy your basket of problems. That's Bryan Clayton's wonderfully direct description of one of entrepreneurship's great misconceptions: owners often start thinking about selling when they're exhausted, margins are squeezed, employees are unhappy, and they desperately want out. By then, the business may be least attractive to a buyer. Queue up this episode of Small Business Stories for a refreshingly unglamorous conversation about what building, selling, failing, learning, and scaling actually look like. Dr. LL talks with Bryan Clayton, co-founder and CEO of GreenPal. Bryan started mowing lawns in high school, eventually grew his landscaping company to roughly $10 million in annual revenue, sold it to a national company, and then made the improbable leap from blue-collar operator to tech founder. If people don't trust the experience you're delivering, adding more customers doesn't solve the problem. And in an AI-driven marketplace, inconsistent experiences create inconsistent signals. Scaling those signals can increase misinterpretation rather than visibility. ⚠️ Core Problems Waiting until burnout to prepare a company for sale Mistaking fast growth for healthy growth Believing entrepreneurship produces overnight—or passive—success

Should You Scale Your Business? How to Know When Enough Is Enough Should you scale your business, or have you reached the point where it's time to stop growing and start enjoying what you've built? This episode explores the hidden costs of business growth and how to know whether your business is genuinely improving your life or simply paying your bills while taking your time, health and freedom. Following a listener's question after the previous Join Up Dots episode about not scaling a business at all costs, David Ralph explores the difficult question every business owner eventually faces: when is enough actually enough? When your business pays the mortgage, covers your expenses and leaves enough for a few nice treats, the natural reaction is often to chase more. More customers. More revenue. More employees. More growth. But what if that isn't the best next step? David explores why financial profit and loss is only part of the story. Your business can make more money while costing you your evenings, damaging your health, putting pressure on relationships and leaving you with less control over your own life. Drawing on lessons from the evolution of Join Up Dots, this episode challenges the idea that every successful entrepreneur must keep scaling. Instead, it explores how business owners can measure the real return they're getting from their business across five areas: money, time, health, relationships and control. You'll discover why revenue isn't the same as profit, why making "just enough" can keep you stuck for years, why a business that pays the bills isn't necessarily a successful business, and why the smartest next move could be simplifying, automating, improving your systems or simply deciding that your business is already big enough. If you've built a business that works financially but still find yourself working too much, feeling trapped or wondering where your freedom went, this episode offers a different way to think about business growth, wealth and success.

Most entrepreneurs don't have a revenue problem—they have a delegation problem. In this episode,, entrepreneur and business coach Justin Lund explains why so many founders become prisoners in the businesses they worked so hard to build. The same hustle that helped you get started can become the very thing preventing you from reaching the next level. Justin shares the concept of the "Delegation Priority Pyramid," a practical framework designed to help business owners reclaim their time, build systems, and create a company that doesn't depend entirely on them. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, burned out, unable to take a vacation, or convinced that "nobody can do it as well as I can," this conversation is for you.

Many investors focus on one thing: getting more units. But what if growing your portfolio is actually creating more problems? In this episode, Gino Barbaro breaks down one of the most important distinctions every real estate investor and entrepreneur needs to understand: the difference between growing and scaling. Growth often means increasing revenue by adding more resources, more expenses, and more complexity. Scaling, on the other hand, is about creating systems, improving efficiency, increasing profitability, and building a business that can expand without demanding more of your time. If you're chasing bigger numbers without knowing your profit margins, occupancy rates, delinquency metrics, or operational KPIs, this conversation is a must-watch. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ The difference between growing and scaling a real estate business ✅ Why "Revenue is vanity, profit margin is sanity, and cash is king" ✅ How to measure Profit Per Unit (PPU) ✅ The systems every multifamily investor should implement ✅ Why operations determine long-term success ✅ The importance of SOPs, KPIs, and customer retention ✅ When to pause acquisitions and focus on infrastructure ✅ How Jake & Gino scaled from zero to over 1,900 units Whether you're managing your first rental property or operating a large multifamily portfolio, these principles can help you build a stronger, more profitable business. Key Takeaway: Don't grow faster than your systems can support. Build the foundation first. Strengthen your operations, improve cash flow, create leverage, and then pursue expansion with confidence.
