SN3, Episode 3: "Your Business Needs Me" | Ft. Ivy on Building Scalable, Legacy Businesses

from Founder Diaries Podcast · host Yvonne Kanyi

Today`s episode features Ivy, a business coach who works with founders to build scalable, legacy-ready businesses. Her work is centered on helping founders put the right systems in place, hire the right people, and build something that can grow beyond their own limitations; something they can eventually pass on or sell.Ivy takes us through her own entrepreneurial journey, starting with selling cabbages at 7 years old at a 75% profit margin (a lesson in sales she still carries today), all the way to a salon investment with her husband that flopped teaching her that not every founder should open just any business. In the episode, we also get deep into hiring: simple shifts founders can make in how they hire and manage people, the real cost of a bad hire, and why so many founders hold onto underperforming "day one" employees out of loyalty, even when the gaps are obvious and the business is paying the price.This episode is brought to you by:🔹 Beauty Square KE — Your go-to destination for premium, quality beauty essentials.
