Entrepreneur to Employer - The Playbook for Scaling from Solopreneur to Employer

Transitioning from a Solopreneur to Building and Leading a High Performing Team


Listen Later

When you start your business as a solopreneur, you’ve essentially created a job for yourself and the business cannot run without you. But as you’re looking to grow and scale your business into something that can exit, you’ll need to build your team and multiply your efforts. This week’s episode of the Entrepreneur to Employer podcast is about transitioning from a solopreneurship to building and leading a high-impact team!  

In this episode, Brian talks about the signs you’ve reached the point that it’s time to scale your business and shares actionable advice you can use today to start building a dynamite team.

The expert-level guide to scaling your team that Brian shares today is:

  1. Acknowledging the inflection point or the fork in the road between self-sufficiency and needing support to continue growing. 
  2. Identify the strategic roles that will alleviate any bottlenecks and multiply your efficiency. 
  3. Perform financial forecasting and budget allocation to make informed decisions. 
  4. Use job boards, networking, and headhunters to find someone with a specific skill set to fill your role.
  5. Onboard and develop the company culture. 
  6. Develop and implement performance metrics and KPIs.
  7. Address conflict head-on and create a culture where employees feel comfortable voicing their concerns.
  8. Create a culture of continuous learning and skill development.
  9. Continue to scale, evaluate, and iterate.
