Short YouTube segment (Mike Andes) advising small-business scaling strategy: pick a revenue model that can be replicated, test and prove it, then scale by replicating units rather than overspending on upfront fixed costs. He outlines a stepwise progression (garage → shop → additional vehicles/staff) tied to client thresholds to avoid premature high overhead.
When you're trying to do multiplications, like I just always recommend, figure out what the model you believe is going to work, test it, prove it and then just replicate it. There's no right or wrong. Like do you Want to have two that are doing 10 million or 15 million or 10 that are doing 3 million? They're both the same amount of revenue. What business do you want to build? And then you could just play with how do you roll those out. So for example, you could do where someone starts out of their garage. Like, hey, when you get to X amount of clients, we get you a shop. When you get to this many clients, we get you a second truck. When you get to this many clients, we get you a service manager. And you just start moving them like to this progression. So they're not like expecting from day one a shop space that costs 15 grand a month to burn.
