How to get past $2M

Typically at around the $2M mark your effectiveness as the business owner starts to drop. 

You’ve got a few team leaders in place. 

You’re probably still leading or running a few projects. 

And you probably still have your fingers in every part of the business. 

But let’s face it, there’s only so much you can get done in a day. 

And if you keep going the way you’re going - something will break or fall apart. 

If you keep trying to be across everything - then you’re going to miss something critical. 

If you want to keep growing. 

And focus more on business strategy and less on the day to day. 

Then a smart next move would be to bring on a GM into your business. 

They could be someone you elevate from a technical role already in your business. 

They could be an external hire with specific GM experience. 

My personal experience from my consulting days - the best GM we ever had wasn’t from the industry at all. 

He had a business background, had run the operations of another business and was great with people. 

He didn’t know engineering at all - but had a growth mindset and was willing to learn. 

He provided the step between the Directors and the day to day business. 

He ran the day to day operations. 

He was the interface with the team leaders. 

Making sure all projects were on track. 

And if they weren’t, understanding why. 

He freed up the Directors time to focus on business direction and bigger picture strategy. 

And if this is all sounding pretty good to you, then this is likely your right next step. 

Trust me - if you’re feeling a bit all over the place at moment. 

A bit stuck where you are now. 

And you’re looking to grow to that next revenue level - to $3M and beyond. 

Then hiring a GM is a great next move. 

And if you’d like to increase revenue, learn how to operate more efficiently and grow your business with confidence, we might be able to help.
