Why most businesses break at 7 figures

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. More revenue isn’t the same as more profit.
   Fast growth without discipline leads to hidden losses.

2. Scaling multiplies whatever’s already happening.
   If you’re disorganized at 6 figures, you’ll be overwhelmed at 7.

3. Growth doesn’t care about your feelings.
   It exposes every weakness in your leadership and your systems.

4. The most dangerous lies are the ones you tell yourself.
   “We’ll fix that later” is how chaos gets baked into the foundation.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

1. Profit is made in the process, not the sale.
   If your backend can’t handle volume, scaling is a liability.

2. A confused team will always cost you.
   Ambiguity drains energy and delays decisions. Clarity wins.

3. Firefighting looks like hustle but smells like poor planning.
   If you’re always reacting, you’re not leading. You’re surviving.

4. The tighter the business, the faster the execution.
   Precision and simplicity make room for real growth.

4 Challenges for You Today

1. List the 3 bottlenecks that break when things speed up.
   Don’t wait for them to break. Fix them this month.

2. Ask your team what slows them down.
   You’ll learn more in one honest convo than in 10 strategy calls.

3. Audit your operations like an outsider.
   Would you invest in your company based on how it runs behind the scenes?

4. Get a copy of Magician vs Mule.
   It’ll slap you in the face in the best way possible.

Quote of the Day

“Systems run the business. People run the systems.”— Michael Gerber

Chaos is optional.

If your business feels heavy right now, it’s not because you’re broken.

It’s because the business wasn’t built to run without you.

Time to change that.
