“I don’t even know if I want to have a team…” “Employees don’t work. They just want money, they don’t work...” Many entrepreneurs have negative beliefs about building a team to grow their business. And, like a self-fulfilling prophecy, they come true. You attract what you believe. In this interview, I’m joined by Klara Adalena. She’s a dating coach for female CEOs and one of our clients. Recently, her sales team did $25k in 5 days. She’s on track to hit a 7-figure run rate. Another success story. Klara and I talked about her resistance to building a team, how she overcame her limiting beliefs, and how she leads her enrollment coaches. So that she doesn’t have to take any sales calls and can focus on strategy and scaling her business.

I love this interview with my friend and client Ravi Abuvala. I brought him on to talk about scaling agencies, but we went super-deep on "advanced" CEO-level topics. Ravi is the founder of Scaling With Systems, as well as a couple of other businesses. He helps entrepreneurs grow their businesses through his "Eliminate, Delegate, Automate" framework. We talked a lot about what it really means to make an impact as a business owner. About how to create and curate a culture in your company. And the milestones you must hit on the path to scaling your business to 7 figures. You'll Discover How Ravi's agency went from servicing 200-250 clients to only servicing 12-12 clients and making A LOT more money [01:42] Impact is one of those corny words entrepreneurs love to use, so what does Ravi mean when he says "impact?"

My client Joel Kaplan managed to build a social media marketing agency that's completely automated and hands-off. To the point where he only has to check in about an hour a week. The best part?
