How Raul Hernandez Ochoa Scales Businesses Without an MBA, a Forbes Feature, or a Fancy Title

On this episode of How to Scale a Business, Hector sits down with Raul Hernandez Ochoa, the head honcho over at Do Good Work, to talk about expanding revenue and increasing capacity without the stress that usually comes with growth. Raul breaks down the three biggest constraints that hold businesses back—leads and sales, operations and fulfillment, and leadership—so founders can diagnose what’s actually slowing them down. He shares real stories from behind the scenes, talks about hiring the right people (or machines), and explains why scaling isn’t just about getting bigger but about building the right kind of business. If you’re feeling stuck, juggling too many hats, or unsure what’s keeping you from leveling up, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you figure it out.Chapters:00:00:00 – The Game of Scaling: Why It’s Not Just About Growth00:00:53 – 12 Calls a Day, Mergers, and a Book That Changed Everything00:04:21 – Three Hidden Business Constraints That Are Quietly Holding You Back00:05:46 – Stuck in Fulfillment or Sales?
