Start with a crystal-clear product and target market. Build systems that let your team run things without you. Only then scale. Most founders skip these steps and wonder why they're drowning in work.
If I had to start all over in business, here's exactly what I'd do. Step 1, get brutally clear on what I'm selling and who I'm selling to. Step 2, build a simple framework so the team can run it without me. And step 3, only then think about scaling. Most owners do it in reverse and they wonder why they're not making the money they want or had the time that they need. Let me know if that sounds like you.
