Hi,
As an entrepreneur who has witnessed rapid business expansion firsthand, I understand the challenges that come with scaling up.
That's why I'm excited…
To. Help. You.
1. Working Closely with Your First 30:
In the early stages of growth, attracting and retaining top talent can be daunting.
Pay them well and pay them on time.
Your first 30 hires are crucial—they need to align with your vision and each other.
If you align and communicate from the start, you'll lay a solid foundation for future success.
2. Strengthening Culture During Scale-Up:
As your team grows, delegating responsibilities to a management team is essential, but it can create a disconnect between you and your employees.
Stay connected by leveraging direct reports and fostering genuine connections with your team.

Genuine connections strengthen culture and improve employee retention, ultimately enhancing the client experience.
3. Fostering Connections via Leaders:
Regular one-on-ones with key leaders help spread your vision throughout the organisation.
Encourage managers to have similar interactions with their teams, creating a network of indirect connections that keep everyone aligned and energised about the mission.
Loyal employees to grow alongside the business fosters greater efficiency and strengthens team morale.
4. Remembering Everyone's Name:
Maintaining a personal connection with every employee isn’t impossible. Take the time to learn everyone's name—it shows that you value them as individuals.
Additionally, shared meals provide an opportunity for team bonding and relationship-building.
Simple gestures like knowing employees' names create a positive work environment and contribute to employee satisfaction.
5. Minding the Pinch Points:
With growth comes growing pains.
Keep an eye out for pinch points and address them promptly.
Maintain open lines of communication, listen to your team, and remain flexible in your approach to problem-solving.
