Key Notes
- Systems Overload: Use simple, standardized systems to remove yourself from daily operations.
- Performance Pay: Shift from hourly wages to results-based pay to drive productivity and reduce micromanagement.
- Franchise Truth: Don’t franchise unless you're committed to supporting 100+ locations—it’s a capital-heavy game.
- Price Increases: Raise prices when you're at capacity—it weeds out low-value clients and increases profit.
- Leadership Growth: To scale beyond $500k, evolve from salesperson to strong leader.
- Local Marketing: Focus content on your local community to build a trusted brand and generate organic leads.
