70: Build It Before You Need It - Why a Scalable Consulting Firm Matters (Scalable Series #5)


Listen Later

Most consultants don't think about scalability until it's too late. By then the options are often shutting down, taking a job, or rebuilding from the ground up.

In this episode, I share three stories that illustrate what happens when a business depends on one person to hold it all together. You'll also hear why a scalable consulting firm isn't just about growth, but about protection and possibility.

You'll learn:

  • Why waiting to scale can leave your business fragile
  • What protection and possibility really mean for consultants.
  • The four key facets of a scalable consulting firm.
  • How scalability creates margin in your time, money, and energy.

This episode will help you reflect on the foundations of your own consulting business and what might need to shift before life interrupts.
