About this episode

The episode discusses how to grow a business beyond the owner by restructuring and forming strategic partnerships.

If your business is fully booked and still can't grow, the problem is not capacity and it is not systems. It is that everything still runs through you. In this episode, I share the question I ask every SaaS partner I work with: what would have to be true for you not to be needed in delivery tomorrow? Not next year, tomorrow. I walk through how a Zoho partner who was doing delivery on nearly every job himself made one structural decision, brought in a strategic partner for funding and leads, and doubled revenue without changing what he was good at. The hardest part was not the restructure. It was the moment he stopped being the indispensable person in the room. If you know your business has grown around you rather than beyond you, this episode is where that changes. Resources and Links Need help with your WHO and WHAT decisions?
