1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 The other day someone told me, “You can’t scale a broken business, you need to fix it first.”&amp;nbsp; It was one of those moments when something sounds so profound and so obvious at the same time. Like I already knew this but I was hearing it for the first time. This idea is one of those things that gets skipped A LOT but when you actually think about it, it’s so important.&amp;nbsp; So today I wanted to talk about that, about not scaling a broken business.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In order to scale a business well, it needs to be running well or it all falls apart.&amp;nbsp; It’s like an old car; at slow speeds for stops around town it’s ok if the brakes aren’t great and everything is being held together with rust.&amp;nbsp; But when you hit the interstate you need all the parts to work.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Now, when you ask most entrepreneurs what their business needs, you will almost always get “more leads” or some version of that as the answer.&amp;nbsp; So much focus is put on getting people in the door and selling and everything else is less important. Until of course everything breaks. &amp;nbsp; I’m a self professed ops nerd so I may seem a bit biased here, but hear me out. What if what you need isn’t just more business? &amp;nbsp; For help with your business visit Reynolds OMB.
