Making Your Business Less Dependent On You

Begin with the end in mind

Listen Later

For this week's episode, we decided to begin with the end in mind (a reference to the book The Seven habits of highly effective people).

Malcolm interviewed someone who has done the whole journey - from start up to growing their business to being the best in their industry in the UK to selling it on.

That person is Richard Marshall.

In the episode, Richard shares his experiences and insights on how delegating and trusting others with responsibilities played a pivotal role in his journey from business growth to making the business less dependent on him.

Richard emphasises that as business owners, we cannot do everything. We have our limitations, and there are people who can fill those gaps.

Takeaways from this episode: 

  • Focus on what's best for the company rather than individual egos
  • Recognise when you're becoming stale and in need of change
  • Create a work-life balance to avoid burnout
  • Recruit a successor to ensure the company's growth and success


    • Let's continue the conversation
