Growing Pains

from Honestly: Built The Hard Way Hosted by garthbt

Episode 3: Growing Pains Growth sounds great — until you’re actually living through it. In this episode of Honestly Built the Hard Way, we get into the growing pains that come with taking a small business to the next level. More staff, more customers, more responsibility, more money going out the door — and somehow, less time. We talk about the mistakes we’ve made while growing Cameo, learning to let go of control, knowing when to hire, dealing with the pressure of keeping everyone busy, and those moments where you wonder whether growing bigger is actually worth it. Because growth isn’t always pretty. Sometimes it’s bloody uncomfortable — but that’s usually where the biggest lessons are. This is Growing Pains — the stuff nobody really tells you about when your small business starts becoming something bigger.
