What your business requires from you at seven figures can be very different from what it required from you at $100K. Every stage of business comes with a different set of needs, but it\u2019s easy to keep making the decisions, solving the problems, and filling the gaps you\u2019ve always handled, even when your team can take more ownership and figure things out without you. In this week\u2019s episode of Scale Differently, I sit down with Heather Roberts, who has scaled multiple businesses past seven figures and learned firsthand how much has to change as your business moves from one stage to the next. Heather compares business stages to raising kids, and by taking us through her own journey with her own businesses, we dive into what that shift looks like, including: What it realistically takes to get out of day-to-day operations How your involvement should change as your business grows How to decide what you still want to own and what you're ready to hand off How keeping your business lean can give you more flexibility How to shape your business around what you want from your life If you want to reduce how much you're working in your business and how much depends on you, you won't want to miss this episode. Heather now works 2-3 hours a week in her business and she breaks down how she made that possible.
