The Challenge of Scaling
In our conversation, Mike and I talk about the challenges of scaling your business and the transition of working in your company to working on your company. We discuss the feeling of overwhelm and how to manage it, the importance of relationships, and having a daily/weekly/annual focus.
Highlights, Takeaways, and Quick Wins
- Document your company’s vision, values, procedures, and more. This way you can delegate, scale, and grow.
- When feeling overwhelmed, there are many things you can do to help: such as find a trusted advisor, keep making small daily progress toward your goals, or take a step back and see what you can say “no” to in order to give yourself some breathing room.
- Having a focused month helps with making progress and also helps you to make choices.
- Be kind to yourself. As a creative and as an entrepreneur, you’re in it for the long-game.
- “You can do anything, but not everything.” — David Allen
- What is the one thing that I can put out that is going to have the most impact?
- Reclaim your time and reclaim your boundaries.
- Theming your days gives you permission to deliberately delay things.
