Scale the F*ck Up

We read books that tell us how to hire so we can increase our profits. We hear podcasts that suggest that we outsource so we can enjoy working less while making more. We learn from mainstream gurus that looking to developing nations is THE answer.

But at what cost?

Today we’re chatting about something that is a little bit different than our normal topics. In this episode of Scale the F*ck Up, we’re exploring ethics and social responsibility in business and discussing why being awful doesn’t grow your business.

We talk about:
↠ Not exploiting those who support you
↠ Five big ways being awful impacts your bottom line
↠ What to do if you can’t afford to pay your team a fair wage
↠ Why ethics matters in your business

This is such an important topic and something that isn’t really talked about. Tune in to the full episode to learn more.

Have you ever felt like things were falling apart around you? Maybe you experienced a significant life change or event that you had no control over or things that just didn’t go as planned. Maybe you just picked up a cold, or your babysitter went on vacation. In these instances, life takes priority, and there just may not be enough time or brain space left to fully focus on your business.

As much as we would love to have super smooth sailing 24/7, the reality is that life happens to us all. It’s not a question of if one of these things will happen. It’s a question of when.

In these difficult seasons of life, it can be easy to let business fall by the wayside. After all, if you’re struggling to keep your own head above water, you’re probably not in that stage of enlightenment or hitting peak creativity that you can use for your business. And you may also just find it hard to show up for your business.

Now obviously letting your business fall by the wayside is not ideal. So that begs the question - how in the world do you keep maintaining business momentum even when life happens? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today.

We talk about:
↠ Why maintaining momentum is essential
↠ Knowing how much capacity you realistically have when shit hits the fan
↠ Four important strategies you need to implement before “life happens”
↠ How to prioritise your focus when you don’t have much to give

Wanna learn more about how you can get your business “life ready” so that you can maintain that momentum even when shit happens? Tune in to the full episode now.

If you’re a woman in business, you’re probably familiar with the phrase “it’s lonely at the top.” Often that means that successful and higher-up the ladder people (like CEOs) tend to have fewer friends or people to turn to, and they can experience a sense of loneliness the higher they rise.

So what does that mean for you as you scale your business to 7 figures?

In today’s episode of the Scale the F*ck Up Podcast we’re actually busting the myth that it's lonely at the top.

We talk about:
↠ The reasons why this sentiment exists
↠ Key areas to shift your focus so it doesn’t have to be true
↠ How to surround yourself with the right people
↠ Why you should empower your team
↠ Two essential areas to prioritize while you’re building your empire

If this is something you are struggling with, I would love to invite you to join my Mastermind. It focuses on helping you streamline and simplify in order to scale, but at the heart of it, it’s about surrounding yourself with other women who get it.

If you’re feeling lonely at the top in your business, I promise you we all go through it. But there is hope on the other side. You don’t have to go at it alone.

Welcome to episode 6 of the Scale the F*ck Up Podcast, the podcast specifically designed to help show you a real-life, behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to scale to 7 figures. Whether you are teetering around the edges of 6 figures, you’ve already busted through to multiple 6 figures, or you’re dancing on the edge of 7, this podcast has strategies and takeaways designed to support you.
 
I’m sure you’ve heard the expression "failing to plan is planning to fail". Over the years I’ve seen firsthand how instrumental planning can actually be. Be it in your life or your business, I’ve seen how impactful it has been for my clients, especially as they grow and scale.
 
December and January are fun times to look back on the previous year and plan for the year ahead. But statistics show that two-thirds of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions within a month. So what about the other 10 months out of the year? And how can you actually achieve the goals you set for yourself and your business? 
 
In this episode we’re diving into the biggest overlooked strategy to set yourself up to scale. 
 
We talk about:

Thank you so much for tuning in, and I’ll see you next week!

A lot of my clients come to me when they are sick of holding all of the pieces of everything.  Often, they are at a certain income ceiling, and they can’t move past it because they are at capacity, or they are just burned out.
 
Something that I get questions about all the time is bringing on a team. When is the right time to hire a team? What is the best way to hire a team or team members, and what does that process actually look like?
 
When you are busting at the seams with too much work and there is just too much on your list, it can be a really sexy idea to hire someone else to shift it off of your plate and onto theirs. So in today’s episode of Scale the F*ck Up, we’re chatting all about when to hire a team to have the biggest growth opportunities in your business.
 
We talk about:
↠ The 2 main reasons why your support team isn’t working well for you (or didn’t work out in the past)
↠ The big questions you need to ask BEFORE you hire support
↠ Sneaky pitfalls to avoid when hiring
↠ How (and where) to find the right fit for your business
↠ The 3 main goals for building your team

I help business owners just like you simplify, strategise, and streamline in order to scale. 🔥

There’s a lot that goes into growing a business. There are a lot of trials and errors and growing pains and figuring things out as you go. Every single business is different, and every single business owner is different. Some of the learning curves and challenges you face will be different than what other business owners face.

We talk about:
↠ Overcoming the conditioning that many women face

Welcome to episode 3 of the Scale the F*ck Up Podcast. Today we are talking about the number one overlooked strategy for scaling.

You’ve probably heard a lot of noise in the online space about the importance of growth and client acquisition. There are all kinds of ways that you can work with and serve your clients, but traditionally speaking, you need more clients in order to grow your revenue, and subsequently, grow your business. And there are so many ways that you can get in front of your ideal audience and convert clients, which is an essential part of growing your business.

There is so much talk about getting more clients, but there is one key strategy for actually scaling that is often overlooked. And it doesn’t focus on client acquisition.

In this episode we talk about:
↠ The untapped asset for your business
↠ Thinking about your client experience (with two real-life examples and comparisons)
↠ 3 ways you can shift your focus so that you can scale your business with ease
↠ The strategy that is the most cost-effective (and typically the easiest!)
↠ Prioritising client results

You’d be surprised at how many businesses focus on just getting clients through the door but overlook this important strategy to scale your business.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Scale the F*ck Up Podcast. Today we’re chatting all about the systems you need to support your scale, and I dive into the 3 systems my 7-figure clients are using.
 
If you’re serious about scaling your business, you need to become besties with systems.

When they are used properly, efficient systems can help you improve your client experience, reduce costs, increase revenue, free up your time, increase productivity, and support you to grow your business literally while you sleep. Seriously systems are amazing!
 
We talk about:
↠ Why simpler is better when it comes to scaling
↠ How to easily organise projects, track deadlines, and support your team collaboration
↠ Managing client relationships in one place and harnessing the power of automation
↠ The best way to communicate with your team and clients
↠ How implementing even one of these systems can free up time and support your business and clients in so many ways
 
When you’re able to get these systems up-and-running and really utilize them to their max, you will have more time, your clients will have better experiences, your team will be more organised, you will free up other resources in the business, and you can actually start to scale. 🔥

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Scale the F*ck Up podcast! If you don’t know me, I’m Rhiannon. I’m a business strategist for multi-6 and 7 figure entrepreneurs, and I have been supporting women to grow and scale businesses that light them up - not burn them out - since 2014. Thank you so much for being here!

For close to a decade, I have had the privilege to support countless clients. I’ve been able to see a lot of things that really work and help to grow a business to 6, multi 6, and 7 figures. And I’ve also seen a lot of things that don’t.

You have probably heard before that what got you to 6 figures won’t get you to 7, and that is definitely true. In this episode we talk about the number one thing keeping you stuck from hitting 7 figures.

We discuss:
↠ Finding the bottleneck in your business
↠ Areas of a business that can cause delays
↠ Identifying the things that are eating up your time
↠ The importance of having a solid support team
↠ How you can get unstuck so that you can scale

Once you identify the bottleneck in your business and follow these steps to get unstuck, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can actually scale and start to hit that multi-6 and 7 figure mark. 🔥
