#184: The Biggest Mistakes to Avoid When Scaling Your Business

The hardest part of building a business is not marketing, offers, or sales. It’s the people and the processes that have to operate together to make your business work. 

To have the power to scale you have to find people who can effectively run the parts of your business that need to be run without you. 

Do this well, and there are literally no limits to how big you can grow. Hire the wrong people, and watch your business crumble.
