When you start your business as a solopreneur, you’ve essentially created a job for yourself and the business cannot run without you. But as you’re looking to grow and scale your business into something that can exit, you’ll need to build your team and multiply your efforts. This week’s episode of the Entrepreneur to Employer podcast is about transitioning from a solopreneurship to building and leading a high-impact team!  

In this episode, Brian talks about the signs you’ve reached the point that it’s time to scale your business and shares actionable advice you can use today to start building a dynamite team.

The expert-level guide to scaling your team that Brian shares today is:

  1. Acknowledging the inflection point or the fork in the road between self-sufficiency and needing support to continue growing. 
  2. Identify the strategic roles that will alleviate any bottlenecks and multiply your efficiency. 
  3. Perform financial forecasting and budget allocation to make informed decisions. 
  4. Use job boards, networking, and headhunters to find someone with a specific skill set to fill your role.
  5. Onboard and develop the company culture. 
  6. Develop and implement performance metrics and KPIs.
  7. Address conflict head-on and create a culture where employees feel comfortable voicing their concerns.
  8. Create a culture of continuous learning and skill development.
  9. Continue to scale, evaluate, and iterate.

As a business coach, there are 6 critical mistakes that I see founders and business owners make.

If you nod in agonized agreement to the points below, you’re in a prison cell that many entrepreneurs the world over find themselves in:

  • Working endless hours without scaling new heights...
  • Working harder to make even less...
  • Lying awake, agonizing about your superior competitors...
  • Spending more time doused in frustration than sipping the champagne of success...
  • Always on the hunt for fresh strategies and new customers...
  • Drowning in staff issues when you’d rather focus on business growth…

To help you overcome these 6 critical mistakes, I have written the Six Silver Bullets e-book to guide you through the process. Implementing these Six Silver Bullets are Six Surprisingly Simple and Effective Strategies Smart Entrepreneurs Use to Gain Control of Their Time, Team, and Money and Grow Their Business Profits Fast!

This eBook isn’t just another business manual. It’s your ticket to scaling peaks you’ve only dreamt of. Implementing these strategies isn't optional—it’s a must.
