Description

Most founders are convinced they're ready to scale. Most of them aren't. So how do you actually know the difference?

The leads are coming in. The team's growing. Revenue's up. Then six months later you're more exhausted, more overwhelmed and somehow further from where you wanted to be. Sound familiar? 

In this solo episode I'm walking through the five indicators I actually look for before I tell any founder they're ready to scale. I've pulled in real stories from clients I've worked with recently, including an architecture firm doing something most businesses would never dare to do, plus a few mistakes I've made in my own business that I'd rather you didn't repeat.

Inside this episode

1. The five numbers I track every single week (and the three most founders ignore)
2. Why one firm I work with deliberately turns paying clients away
3. The cash flow trap that hits hardest right when things feel good
4. The team conversation you keep putting off and what it's quietly costing you
5. Why being brilliant at your craft can actually keep your business stuck
