Podcasts about scaling your business

The following article of the Talent industry is: “Scaling Your Business to Find Freedom: The Freedom Point” by Daniel Marcos, CEO, Growth Institute.

In this episode, Karthik sits down with David Gordon to unpack the state of the electrical distribution industry — from data center growth and reshoring manufacturing to the business growth strategies helping distributors go from $25M to $75M in four years. He shares why people will always be the number one differentiator in distribution, why it's important to focus on customer relations above all, why e-commerce is a facilitator and not a driver, and where AI's real low-hanging fruit actually is.

In this powerhouse episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe sits down with serial entrepreneur, business coach, and acclaimed author Jeremy Shapiro for a masterclass in transforming your business from a self-created job into a true asset that delivers freedom, not burnout. If you've ever felt trapped by your own company, confused busyness with progress, or wondered how to escape the endless hustle, this conversation brings actionable insights and eye-opening advice you won't want to miss. About the Guest Jeremy Shapiro has spent nearly three decades helping entrepreneurs build scalable, sustainable, and sellable businesses. Featured on NPR, Fox News, and major outlets worldwide, he specializes in guiding founders through the transformational leap from solopreneur to true business owner—allowing them to reclaim their time, health, and creativity, while building assets that create generational wealth. Key Themes & Discussion Highlights The Solopreneur Trap: Are You Growing a Business or a Job? Early in the conversation, Wize and Jeremy break down the critical distinction between being "self-employed" and being a "business owner." Jeremy shares from experience that many enthusiastic founders unknowingly build businesses that trap them, taking on all the risk and workload but missing the freedom entrepreneurship promises. If the business can't run without you, says Speaker B, it's a job—one you could end up resenting (02:03). Builder or Grinder? Why Mindset Matters Reflecting on his own path, Jeremy identifies as a lifelong builder—someone who thrives on creating systems, solutions, and opportunities for others (03:01). This mindset, he explains, is key to scaling successfully. The pitfall? Confusing activity with progress. Entrepreneurs often wear busyness like a badge of honor, but as Jeremy reveals, tracking where your time actually goes often exposes unprofitable patterns (03:43). Systems, Delegation, and the Power of Marginal Gains Building a true business means learning to let go. For many, this is a massive mindset shift. Jeremy discusses why perfectionism (“nobody can do this as well as I can!”) is the enemy of growth (07:00). Instead, he urges founders to document and systematize repeatable tasks, define success clearly, and empower new team members to take ownership. This approach not only enables scale—it's essential for sanity and sustainability. The episode takes a deep dive into the concept of "small hinges swing big doors." Through the story of the British cycling team's transformation, listeners learn how stacking tiny, 1% improvements can completely change business outcomes (17:55). These marginal gains—whether it's a tweak to onboarding, pricing, or lead generation—compound into massive wins. Finding (and Freeing) Hidden Profit Plateaus are normal in business, but they signal it's time to work smarter, not harder. With his trademark clarity, Speaker B outlines the three levers that can reignite growth and profitability. Sometimes, he advises, it's about refining the business model or optimizing pricing; other times, it's about adopting new channels or outsourcing for leverage (14:28). A standout moment is his pricing masterclass. Speaker B challenges the common founder fallacy of undercharging for unique expertise—and shares a real-life story of helping a client 10x her consulting fees by shifting from time-based to value-based pricing (33:09). He explains how minor price increases can double profit margins, even if customer numbers stay flat. Building an Asset, Not Just a Paycheck One of the most profound insights arrives as Jeremy explains why every founder should design their business with an exit in mind—even if they never intend to sell. Businesses tend to follow one of three paths: shut down, pass to family, or become a sellable asset. Building with sale in mind forces owners to create systems, document roles, and make the company valuable to someone else (24:36). This not only maximizes future wealth—it also gives more freedom now. The story of a business owner forced to systematize after a health scare is a wake-up call about why founders must set their businesses up to run (and grow) without them (25:33). Ultimately, the goal is for founders to work on their business, not just in it—unlocking not just profit, but the optionality to travel, launch new projects, or simply take a real vacation. The Power of Niching & Specialization For those feeling "stuck" on a plateau, Jeremy recommends strategic niching. By narrowing focus and speaking directly to an ideal customer, businesses can increase pricing power, dominate specialist markets, and avoid the trap of being a replaceable commodity (39:39). The episode includes memorable stories of sub-niching (even among high-net-worth clients) and how hyper-specialization can actually expand total addressable markets. Actionable Takeaways Track Your Time: Perform a time diary to uncover true time drains (03:43). Document and Delegate: Systematize your most repetitive (yet “unique”) tasks and build clear success metrics (07:00). Test Your Pricing: Move beyond time-based to value-based pricing and experiment with incremental increases (33:09). Niche and Specialize: Don't be afraid to narrow your market; the more specific, the more profitable (39:39). Build for Sale: Even if you intend to own your business forever, design it so it could thrive—and grow—without you (24:36). Leverage Expertise: Get outside help where needed and find leverage through people, systems, or partners (22:45). Assess Optionality: True freedom is having the choice of where, when, and how you work. Build towards options, not obligations (23:34). Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen This episode isn't just for business owners on the brink of burnout—it's for anyone who wants to future-proof their company, escape the hamster wheel, and reclaim their entrepreneurial purpose. Real stories, hard-earned lessons, and practical frameworks from Jeremy"s 30 years in the trenches provide inspiration and guidance for businesses at every stage. Whether you're stuck grinding out 12-hour days or approaching your first big plateau, this conversation is packed with paradigm shifts, strategies, and tools to help you break through and build a business that truly works for you.

In this episode, I talk about why so many six & multi-six figure entrepreneurs struggle to scale - not because they need another strategy, but because they're holding on to things that are no longer aligned with the next level they want to reach.I also speak about the connection between standards, identity, premium positioning & scaling, and what actually changes when you stop operating from your old identity and start making decisions aligned with the future version of you.Book your free 1:1 strategy call with me here: https://scheduler.zoom.us/joella-skoogh/1-1-strategy-call-with-joella

Most business owners think scaling is a growth problem. It is actually a money problem. And how you fund that next level of growth could be the difference between a breakthrough and a breakdown. In this episode, BOP Coaches Shawn "Dickie" Stinson and Brandon "Donny" Gray get into the one conversation most business owners avoid until it is too late: the cash side of scaling. No vague financial advice. No one-size-fits-all strategies. Just honest, practical talk from coaches who are inside real businesses every single week. Here is what separates the business owners who scale well from the ones who stall out. ✅ The four types of scale and why each one carries a different price tag ✅ Why your core values should be your first financial filter before you spend a dollar ✅ Save, debt, or hybrid: how to know which funding path actually fits your season ✅ The due diligence framework that tells you if a scale move is worth making at all ✅ Why having the money is not the same as having a reason to spend it ✅ The bank account rule every business owner should follow before taking on debt ✅ How a 13-week cash flow forecast changes everything about your risk decisions Scaling without a financial plan is not bold. It is just expensive. Know your numbers. Know your risk. Know your next move. Is your business built to scale, or just built to survive?

What if hiring more people is actually the last thing your business needs right now? Most business owners think scaling means adding headcount. But the ones who scale well know it is about finding the right people for the right gaps at the right time. In this episode, BOP Coaches Shawn "Dickie" Stinson and Brandon "Donny" Gray get into the messiest, most misunderstood piece of scaling any business: the people side. No generic HR advice. No cookie-cutter hiring tips. Just real conversations from real businesses navigating real growth. Here is what most business owners skip before they hire their next person. ✅ Why scaling with people looks completely different depending on your business type ✅ The interior designer who needed fewer people, not more ✅ What happened when one business jumped from 3 employees to 22 without the revenue to match ✅ The MVP hire vs. the full team hire and how to know which one fits your season ✅ Why your vision, mission, and core values should drive every single hiring decision ✅ The bank account trick that removes the pressure of every new hire Scaling is not a headcount problem. It is a clarity problem. And until you know what your scale actually requires, every new hire is just an expensive guess. Are you building a team or just filling seats? Take the next step and find out how healthy your business really is.

For a long time, I avoided narrowing my focus because it felt like the fastest way to limit my opportunities. I built my business by saying yes to a wide range of clients, thinking that was the best way to grow. But over time, it became clear that being too broad was actually making everything harder—my marketing, my referrals, and the consistency of my results.  When Your Business Is Too Broad, Growth Gets Messy  When you're not clearly positioned, you attract a mix of clients that don't always align with where you do your best work. That showed up for me in inconsistent referrals, unclear messaging, and constantly having to adjust instead of repeat what was working.  At a certain point, growth slows down—not because you're not capable, but because there's no focus.  What Improved Once I Focused on One Segment  When I started focusing on medical aesthetics—med spas, plastic surgeons, and beauty businesses—the shift was immediate.  • The work became more repeatable because the problems were similar • Messaging got clearer because we were speaking to a specific audience • Referrals improved because people knew exactly who to send to us • Results were easier to deliver and communicate  That's where momentum comes from: clarity and consistency.  How to Start Without Overcomplicating It  You don't need a perfect niche to get started. Look at where you're already getting strong results. Pay attention to which clients feel aligned, where your processes are smooth, and what problems you're solving repeatedly.  Then start leading with that in your messaging. You're not cutting everything else off—you're just becoming more intentional about what you're known for.  Why This Matters for Scaling Your Business  If your goal is to grow, being known for something specific makes everything easier. It simplifies your marketing, strengthens your referrals, and helps you attract better-fit clients. It also makes your business more scalable because your team can deliver consistent results without reinventing the process every time.  You don't need more services—you just need clearer positioning.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.

What if the reason your business cannot grow is not your market, not your team, and not your budget? It is your process. Or the lack of one. In this episode, BOP Coaches Shawn "Dickie" Stinson and Brandon "Donny" Gray break down the first and most foundational piece of scaling any business: getting your process out of your head and onto paper. No fluff. No theory. Just the raw truth about why most businesses hit a ceiling and never break through it. Here is what business owners keep getting wrong. You cannot scale what you have not defined. So where does your business stand? ✅ What scaling actually means and why most owners misunderstand it ✅ Why your purpose has to lead before your process can follow ✅ The real cost of doing business without a documented process ✅ What a builder learned when he tried to open a second location without a process ✅ Why writing it down changes everything, even if it starts on a bar napkin This is not about building a perfect system on day one. It is about building something repeatable, trainable, and ready to grow with you. Because you cannot send your vision into a new market, a new team member, or a new location without a process to carry it there. The business that scales is not the one with the best idea. It is the one with the clearest playbook. Are you building a business or just staying busy? Take the next step and find out how healthy your business really is.

Most companies don't fail because of bad technology—they fail because they're using the wrong technology, the wrong way.   In this episode of the Level Up Claims Podcast, host Parker Logan sits down with technology strategist and RB Consulting founder Rob Broadhead to break down what's really holding businesses back. With over 30 years of experience, Rob has seen firsthand how "simple" tech projects spiral into expensive bottlenecks—and how the right systems can unlock serious growth.   Highlights: Why most tech projects fail (and how to avoid becoming one) The hidden danger of "scaling chaos" in growing claims businesses Build vs. buy: how to make the right call on software solutions The real reason your systems feel disconnected—and how to fix it Why faster isn't always better when it comes to automation How AI can improve claims accuracy (and where it can get you in trouble) The importance of fallback systems when tech inevitably breaks Red flags that signal your business needs a tech overhaul How small teams can compete with big tech using smarter systems Why great vendors should challenge your decisions—not just sell to you   Episode Resources: ·      Connect with Rob Broadhead ·      https://rb-sns.com/ ·      https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbroadhead/ ·      Connect with Galen M.

Most people know the quote “You're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with”. You hear it, you feel it, so you get over yourself and spend multi 5 figures on a mastermind, a new coach and whatnot. You feel growth and inspiration, but even when you've done all of that - there's a secret layer to this nobody talks about openly: I'm talking about those rooms you're in you can't easily leave.Because they're your home.Maybe it's your mom, your partner or your best friend from high school.When you spend enough time with someone who is playing a smaller game than you, you won't just feel it in your mood in the moment itself. You will subconsciously start filtering your goals through their ceiling, you will stop sharing your dreams out loud and slowly you'll start playing a smaller game without realizing this is happening. My friend recently explained this to me perfectly: this is what we call getting enrolled in someone else's world. It costs more than most people realize when you cannot simply walk away from someone who's - probably unintentionally - dragging you down.This episode also covers what actually shifts when you step into the right room, and why it's almost never about the strategies you learn in bigger rooms.If you've been wondering why your ceiling keeps moving down even as you grow, this one is for you.PS If you're ready to be in a room that matches your standard, apply for my Selfmade Millionaire Mastermind or Gold Mastermind at https://fastforwardamy.com/applicationformeng.Follow me on Instagram for more business and mindset tips: instagram.com/fastforwardamyDiscover my free trainings and ebooks: fastforwardamy.com/freeresources

This episode of the Daily Mastermind features Kurt Belding, founder of Western Obsessions TV. The conversation explores how Belding transitioned from a burnt-out entrepreneur managing dozens of employees and multiple failing businesses to running a streamlined $3 million media and talent agency entirely solo using AI and automation.They emphasize that businesses with similar offerings can separate themselves “light years” through personality and narrative. In their own business, storytelling is used to build trust by letting audiences watch hunts through episodes or social clips until they feel they know and trust the speaker. That trust carries into sales conversations, so when the speaker or consultants recommend a hunt to book, customers already have confidence in the brand's guidance.23:29 Avoiding a Bland Brand23:51 Standing Out With Personality24:07 Building Trust Through Content24:21 Turning Trust Into BookingsWhat You'll Learn in This Episode:Why brand storytelling is more powerful than any visual element — fonts, colors, or logos — in making your business memorableHow a generic brand blends in with every competitor, and the exact narrative shift that separates you "light years" aheadThe trust-building content model: how episodic hunts and social clips pre-sell clients before they ever speak to a consultantWhy personality and narrative are the only things competitors genuinely cannot copy — and how to weaponize bothHow to turn viewer familiarity into sales confidence: the psychology of "I already trust this brand."The content marketing strategy that converts passive viewers into warm, ready-to-book clientsThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

If your business is working… but something about it feels off — this is for you. There's a point where what got you here stops working the same way. Your messaging feels heavier. Your offers don't land the same. You're showing up, but it's not clicking like it used to. Most people think it's strategy. It's not. In this conversation with Gráinne, we get into what's actually happening underneath that phase — when your identity is shifting, your authority is being tested, and your business isn't fully built to hold where you're going. We talk about: → what happens when your business no longer matches your level → why adding more usually makes things worse → the difference between something being uncomfortable vs. actually misaligned → where people give their authority away without realizing it → and why simplifying is harder — but necessary This isn't about fixing your messaging or finding a better strategy. It's about seeing where you're still trying to operate inside something you've already outgrown. If you've been in that in-between — where things are working, but not really landing — you'll hear yourself in this. And if it does land, Gráinne's Scale Simply Summit is linked below.

How much cash is hiding in your business? See if you qualify for a Free Financial Health Check Financial Intelligence Toolkit Scaling sounds like the goal, but it's also where a lot of businesses quietly break. Growth doesn't fix problems, it exposes them. If margins are tight, they get tighter. If cash flow is inconsistent, it gets worse. And if the strategy isn't working, scaling just accelerates the damage. This episode breaks down what no one talks about when it comes to scaling, how to know if a business is actually ready to grow, and the one metric that determines whether scaling will create value or destroy it._______________________________________Disclaimer:The views expressed here are those of the individual Coltivar Group, LLC (“Coltivar”) personnel quoted and are not the views of Coltivar or its affiliates.

Do you ever feel like your passion for change is miles ahead of the actual business model keeping you afloat?We have all been there. You get into this work because you love the community and want to solve a real problem, but then the business side of things starts to feel a little scary. It is easy to get stuck in imposter syndrome, wondering if what you are offering is actually worth the price tag. But here is the truth: a strong revenue stream isn't a distraction from your mission. It is the engine that helps you scale that impact to a whole new level.The secret to getting unstuck is starting small. Instead of spending months building a massive product in isolation, try running tiny revenue tests. Think $10 digital products or quick offers that take just a few hours to create. This is how you learn what people are actually willing to pay for before you commit your life to an idea. It is about understanding the dream outcome your audience wants and building a bridge to get them there. Whether you are partnering with local nonprofits to share resources or moving into high ticket consulting, the goal is to keep your messaging and your impact consistent. When you stop guessing and start having real conversations, the path to growth becomes much clearer.Episode in a glance00:00 Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship and Revenue Models00:17 Why business models matter for scaling impact02:51  The power of the $10 micro-offer test05:29 Creating Effective Offers for Social Impact07:34 Navigating impact audiences versus paying customers10:49 Building Partnerships for Greater Impact13:08 Developing a Consistent Business Model15:26 Scaling Your Business and Revenue StreamsAbout Adam MorrisAdam Morris is the founder and host of People Helping People.

Your sales are scaling, ads are working, orders are flooding in — then Stripe freezes your account. It happens more than you think, and Maria shows you exactly why and how to prevent it. Stripe's risk algorithms are designed to flag sudden volume spikes, high chargeback ratios, and unpredictable sales patterns. When your business starts growing fast, that growth can look like fraud to Stripe's automated systems — leading to payment holds, account reviews, or a full Stripe account shutdown right when you need your money most. In this episode, Maria breaks down: → Why Stripe shuts down accounts during rapid growth and how their risk algorithms actually work → How Stripe evaluates sales patterns and industry data to predict risk → What to do if Stripe freezes your payments or places a hold on your account → How to avoid triggering a Stripe shutdown before it happens → When it's time to consider a Stripe alternative like a dedicated merchant account built for high-volume sales and sales volatility If you rely on Stripe for payment processing, don't wait until you're locked out to have a backup plan. This video gives you everything you need to protect your revenue while you scale.Your sales are scaling, ads are working, orders are flooding in — then Stripe freezes your account.

The internet isn’t being searched the same way anymore—and most businesses haven’t caught up. In this episode of the BOB Podcast, Jaryd Krause welcomes back Rad Paluszak to explore the transition from SEO to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and what it means for founders, operators, and investors navigating an AI-driven world. Instead of ranking pages, AI answer engines are ranking entities, brands, and trust. Rad explains why traditional SEO playbooks are breaking down, how AI engines source and rotate answers, and why brand mentions across the web now matter more than links ever did. You’ll learn: Why AI engines rarely repeat the same sources—and how that changes traffic forever How brand authority is built through mentions, associations, and personal brands Why being listed alongside established brands can instantly elevate visibility The growing role of Reddit, social platforms, and communities in AI discovery How to structure content for AI without sacrificing real users What businesses should stop obsessing over—and what actually moves the needle Whether you run content-heavy sites, ecommerce brands, SaaS, or are evaluating businesses to buy, this episode offers a practical framework for adapting to AI without panic—or guesswork. AI is coming either way.The question is whether your brand will be visible when it does.

In this rebroadcast, Rebecca Hay talks with Regan Baker about the mindset shift and the operational structure that helped Regan step into the CEO role.

What if scaling your business isn't about doing more, but about regulating your nervous system so growth actually feels safe? In this How They Did It episode of The Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with master coach and business owner Becky Keen, who had already built a multi six-figure coaching business yet felt stuck at her next level of expansion. From the outside, Becky looked confident and established. Behind the scenes, her nervous system was operating at capacity. After sessions, she found herself second-guessing her work and wondering if it was "good enough". What she discovered was that this plateau was not a strategy or mindset problem. It was a nervous system limitation. In this conversation, Becky shares how deeper somatic and emotional work helped her regulate her nervous system, expand her capacity to hold success, and lead from a place of grounded confidence. As her nervous system stabilized, scaling became more sustainable, aligned, and clear. Today, Becky runs a values-led coaching business, has created multiple six-figure quarters, paid off personal and business debt, and coaches with clarity and embodied self-trust. If you feel successful but capped, overwhelmed by growth, or know you are meant for more without burning out, this episode will change how you think about scaling. ===

AJ shares the raw lessons learned from hustling through 80-hour workweeks, what finally made her redefine success, and how she now operates as a high-performing CEO with a schedule rooted in purpose—not pressure. You'll learn: The real difference between growth and scale (and why getting it wrong can ruin your business) How to create boundaries that fuel—not fight—your productivity When it's time to hire, and how to make that decision before burnout hits Why clarity around why you're scaling is the difference between thriving and burning out If you're building something big but want to protect what matters most, this is your roadmap. It's honest. It's powerful. And it might just change how you lead forever.

This episode breaks down the three core levers that drive inevitable business growth, these are your mindset, your systems, and your skill sets, revealing how each one affects your ability to attract clients, increase revenue, and scale sustainably. Through practical examples and honest insights, the speaker shows how limiting beliefs, broken processes, and underdeveloped skills often become hidden bottlenecks, and how upgrading these areas can unlock your next level in business and life.   "You don't get what you want. You get who you are. The only way we could become a better version of ourselves, especially in terms of business, is by learning and developing and building better skills."   Gain insights: Mindset is the #1 bottleneck: Your beliefs shape your thoughts, actions, and results—identifying and shifting limiting beliefs is essential for growth.  Everyone online is "selling" something: Always consider the underlying motive behind advice so you can focus on universal principles, not biased strategies.  Systems determine your ceiling: You rise and fall to the level of your systems—especially in lead generation, nurturing, sales, delivery, and retention.  Habits reinforce or sabotage success: Upgrading your habits and removing unhelpful ones directly impacts consistency and output.  Skill development multiplies results: Improving skills like copywriting, communication, storytelling, sales, coaching, and leadership significantly boosts performance.  Self-improvement must be ongoing: Even if you're "good enough," you stagnate without consistently upgrading your skills, systems, and beliefs.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Why the Digital Space Feels Slower and What Wise Founders Do About It before it's too late....But first, grab my ICONIQUE GUIDE HERE!Okay sis, let's talk.Because if it feels like something's off in the online space right now... you're not imagining it.Like — you're showing up, posting the content, doing the work, trying to stay positive and obedient and keep the needle moving... but the engagement is flat, the sales feel softer, and honestly? It's just weird out here.And if you've caught yourself thinking:“Is it just me?”“Did I lose my spark?”“Is this even working anymore?”...I need you to hear this: You're not broken. The space is shifting.In this episode, I'm being super honest about what I've been hearing behind the scenes...From my high-level clientsFrom women in my mastermindFrom voice notes, DMs, IRL convos at events...And the pattern is clear:Even the seasoned, strategic, been-doing-this-for-years women are saying it's slower.We get into:The economy and why your audience is more hesitant — not because they're mean, but because they literally have less margin.The trust gap that's grown from years of marketing over-promising and under-delivering.And the real opportunity that comes when most people back out, but you decide to plant deeper and lead better.This isn't about hustle harder or pretending it's all okay.This is about being honest and smart.This is about NOT SPIRALING!!!So if your content feels like it's falling flat...If you're doing all the right things but it still doesn't feel aligned...If you feel like you're carrying your business solo and questioning whether you're even called to grow it this big...This episode is the mirror moment you didn't know you needed.
