In this video, I'm breaking down the five design decisions that determine whether your business scales with you or buries you.

Most business owners hit a ceiling around $1M or $2M and think they need better marketing or a bigger team. The real problem: their business was architecturally designed for $400K. Every system was built for a smaller, simpler version of this company.

I'll walk you through the design decisions you need to make to build a business that can scale without you.

Disclaimer: The strategies and frameworks I share are based on my 15+ years of building and scaling businesses, not overnight success. What I teach works, but your results depend entirely on your execution, your market, and your commitment to building systems consistently. This is educational content, not a guarantee. Business growth requires real work, strategic decisions, and the discipline to stick with what actually moves the needle. Evaluate your own circumstances, assess your risks, and take full ownership of your outcomes. That's what well-oiled business owners do.
