In this episode, Mark welcomes back Tim Haschke and Felix Pestinger from Bo Racking. The last time Tim and Felix appeared on the podcast, they spoke about their beginning and how they grew the business as a startup. Today the topic is letting go of the day-to-day management of the business. Mark chats with Tim and Felix about how they have ‘led from behind’ - elevating other people in their business to take on senior management roles. This process leaves the guys open to focus on expansion plans. The conversation also touches on their current branding refresh and looks at their plans for the company over the next decade.
Bo Racking is based in Melbourne, Victoria, and offers the highest level of warehouse installation services Australia-wide. They work closely with Australia’s leading manufacturers and suppliers.

As an entrepreneur, you probably realize that at any given time, there are probably 100 things you could be doing for your business, but as Mark explains, only a few things you should be doing. How do you figure out what to work on? What is the next right thing in your business? There’s a process (isn’t there always?) to determine what that ‘right thing’ is, and how to identify the six areas you should focus on. The next step is allocating your tasks based on those criteria. In this episode, you’ll discover exactly what you should be doing next and that will help you build a business that is no longer reliant on you.
