467: The #1 Thing Preventing You From Scaling and How to Fix It

What is the number one thing that is preventing you from scaling? I have another Instagram Live I recently did and this time, and to help me answer this question I brought on our head of systems, Katy Widrick. As you'll hear, usually the number one thing that's preventing us from scaling is ourselves, and if I'm being completely honest, this is something that I know all too well.  Katy and I get to work not only inside of our company, but we get to see inside a lot of other businesses every single week. So in this episode, we wanted to have a very real conversation on how you can get out of your own way. As we say inside of our company Elevate, we have an entire team, and we got you. So, if what you are doing has felt like a grind has felt exhausting, we want to get you back to the place where the money's coming in, the service is scalable, and you are feeling good about every single thing that you're doing.  We have amazing things coming up this month, including live podcast recording, the CEO Sessions Live. This is gonna be like an unplugged in-person roundtable discussion with me and our entire team showing you the behind the scenes of what it's taken to get here and also what attracts our team to want to work in our company. We also have our live event in Long Beach, New York, this month, so if you'd like to attend and get more info on these events, then DM me with the word "Live" and I will send you the info on how you can join our program and get access to our live events.  To get our free training on the three funnels that we use to have sales every single week, our new evergreen model, then DM me the word "evergreen" on Instagram, @nicoleculver, and I will send it to you.  I'll see you next week with a brand-new episode!  If you're ready to step into the role of an Elevated CEO, to bring more cash into your business and to discover the #1 thing you should be focusing on, fill out an application for a 1-on-1 Elevated CEO session at https://nicoleculver.co/lvtdceosessionspod and we'll walk you through it!  Key Highlights:  A simple exercise you can do for a healthy scaling process inside your company [6:33] The next step to take when cash is coming in steadily and your client list is growing [10:57] What we did when we brought Katy onto the team and the questions we asked ourselves to make sure we were ready to make this move and scale [14:57] A look at the idea of being proactive when scaling and the importance of always having clear expectations during this process [20:51]  For more insights and what's happening in our business in and in the online space, follow me on Instagram and remember to subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform.
