Seven Phases of Business Growth- Part 1


Listen Later

Ever wonder what to focus on in each phase of your business- and how to avoid the pitfalls?

In this episode I talk with Grant Findlay Shirras, a serial entrepreneur and business strategist who's mastered the art of scaling creative companies profitably and sustainably.

Grant is the co owner of Dekora, a top staging company in Calgary and Kelowna. As a reference, this was the company that was featured on the show The Stagers. He grew the revenue by 50% and the profit by 200k in just one year.

Known for simplifying the complex, Grant brings deep expertise in financial systems, pricing strategy, operations and leadership- helping creative business owners turn chaos into clarity and creativity into cash flow.

In this episode you will learn:

  • What to focus on in the early stages of business growth
  • What masterminding with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs taught Grant about mindset why it seemed counterintuitive
  • Why profit isn't the first thing to chase and what to prioritize instead
  • The key habits that keep Grant on track and making smart, quick decisions
  • How to think through your first hire
  • The surprising insight Grant uncovered about outsourcing sales
