Scaling. It’s an issue every growing business, and every entrepreneur will come up against. How do you do it?

That’s exactly what Tim Richardson managed to do for We Make Websites — when he started working there in 2016, they had 12 employees. He was quickly promoted to Head of Growth and now, just 3 years later, they have 65 employees. 

He came on our How We Solve podcast to tell us all how to scale the unscalable. 

What we talked about:

• About We Make Websites
• Problem: Scaling the seemingly unscalable (talent)
• Pretending like there is a template path to growth is irrational
• Step 1: Recognize the problem 
• Step 2: Establish a culture
• Step 3: Then move to hiring 
• Go-go-go start-up mentality
• Double-down on your niche

A few resources Tim suggests:

• Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business
• Anything from Harvard Business Review
• Get a mentor!
