In this episode, the founder of Traction in Florida, Chris White talks about successful strategies in scaling your business, things that hold back the growth of a business, how to prevent it, and how to effectively delegate responsibilities so you can focus on what you need to focus on. He shares about EOS or Entrepreneurial Operating System which is a very effective tool to grow businesses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

• Focus on key components of your business. Learn the tools to strengthen it so you can scale your business.
• Develop discipline, accountability, and consistency so you can grow your business effectively.
• Two things that hold back a business: Inability to let go and not simplifying documenting processes. 
• When we hold too tightly, we will choke the business and you hold it back from growing. There is freedom in letting go. You can’t do it all. You cannot be scaleable if you have different roles. Work in your own unique ability. Consider delegating to someone else. 
• Focus on your unique abilities, What you love to do and what you’re great at.
• To scale a business, you have to document the processes that produce the most outcome.
• Write your visions, ideas, and plans.
• Put importance on communication. Have a regular leadership/executive meeting.
• Update the employees, where you are going as an organization, how to get there, reassure them that there is a plan.
• If every employee does it their own way, you will never create consistency.

For him, success is finding happiness through purpose and you cannot have happiness without purpose.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

• Give yourself time to succeed. You need to sacrifice for the first few years.
• Have a rich person's mindset. Reinvest in your business instead of spending on a luxurious lifestyle.

• You got to learn how to outsource appropriately. Make sure you work on your business not just in your business.
• Keep on reading, learning, growing, finding mentors.
