As your business grows, do you really need to hire more people—or are your systems just holding your team back?
In this episode, Jon Clark and Cristy Lime share a live recording from their recent workshop at San Antonio Startup Week. They dive into a counterintuitive approach to growth: designing smarter systems that eliminate bottlenecks, reclaim your team’s time, and help you scale—without rushing to hire.
You’ll learn:
Why most startups hire too early (and how it costs more than you think)
The 3 most common operational bottlenecks—and how to fix them
Real-world systems that saved founders 5–10 hours/week
A framework to evaluate what to automate, delegate, or redesign
How to prepare for scale without adding chaos
This is a must-listen for founders between $100K and $1M+ in revenue who want to grow lean, stay agile, and build a business that works for them—not the other way around.
