The biggest obstacle to scaling your business might just be you—but it doesn’t have to stay that way. In this episode of Secrets of the High Demand Coach Podcast, host Scott Ritzheimer speaks with Jeremy Shapiro, Facilitator of Bay Area Mastermind, about a key transition every solopreneur must make to elevate their business. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by managing every task alone and want to break free, this episode is for you.
Jeremy, a seasoned entrepreneur and coach, dives deep into the shift from working in your business to working on your business. This change is essential for scaling and building a sustainable company. Instead of being tied to daily operations, business owners focus on strategic growth, such as marketing, systems, and team development.
One of the key points Jeremy emphasizes is how to assess if you’re truly a business owner or still a solopreneur. He walks listeners through a simple test to identify where they stand. Once you understand your role, Jeremy outlines the next steps to becoming a true business owner.
Hiring the right people is a major topic of discussion. Jeremy shares insights into the importance of hiring the right team members at the right time. He explains how to find individuals who align with your vision and values, and how these hires will help you scale effectively.
Another takeaway from this episode is the need for systems. Jeremy stresses the importance of implementing reliable processes that keep your business running smoothly, even when you’re not involved in every little task. These systems free up your time, allowing you to focus on growth.
