I built my business out of a tiny NYC apartment where I performed every role in the company, from marketing to support to fulfillment.
But as the company grew and my team grew, I experienced some serious growing pains that held me back from reaching 8 figures:
- Days could feel chaotic and stressful.
- Projects were disorganized and never got done on time.
- I had no idea how to handle the finances or the legal side of my business.
In other words: I knew how to be a smart marketer, but I didn’t know how to be a smart business owner. But all of that changed when I realized that the secret to scale is repetition.
It took me over 15 years of trial and error to figure out how to implement the right systems — but you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did.
That’s why we just launched Smart Business Systems.
I brought in my C-level leadership team — Molly (CEO), John (CMO) and Colleen (COO) — to share their expertise in managing operations through different levels of scale, and in this course, we teach you the proven business strategies we’ve developed over 40 years of combined experience running digital brands of all sizes.
Are you ready to remove the chaos and uncertainty from your business, and start building repeatable systems that you can use to scale to 8 figures and beyond?
When you can repeat a process with predictable results, then you can scale it — whether it’s managing a product launch or onboarding your next 10 employees.
Scalable Business Systems Can Help You:
Avoid Burnout.
Burnout is the #1 reason I see entrepreneurs fail. They do too much for too long and it ends up harming yourself and the company. If you want sustainable growth then you need to get good at hiring help, training them into experts and delegating tasks.
Reduce Employee Turnover & Attract Top Talent.
A chaotic environment doesn’t just hurt you; it also stresses out your team, which means you’ll struggle to keep employees, attract the right people, and get the A-game out of your top players.
Stop Being The Bottleneck.
When you’re bogged down in daily operations like writing copy or answering support tickets, you aren’t helping your business — you’re slowing it down. By learning how to effectively build teams and delegate tasks you can get more done by doing less yourself.
Protect Your Business & Limit Risk.
You can do everything right as a business owner, but all it takes is one financial or legal mistake to ruin your company. When you start scaling toward 8 figures, small mistakes can cost you millions, while small insights can make you millions.
