Most professional services founders know these fundamentals. But in the day-to-day grind of building a business, it can be easy to forget them or let them drift.
This post is a reminder. A quick audit of the core elements that make firms successful. If you’ve got these dialed in and things are scaling nicely, great. If not, this might help you identify what needs attention.
I’ve been with Collective 54 for a little over three years now.
In that time, I’ve supported hundreds of founders and executives as they look to make more money, make scaling easier, and ultimately make an exit achievable.
Working alongside these leaders, and learning from my peers, mentors, and coaches, has felt like earning a real-world MBA. That kind of education is only possible because of the opportunities I have here.
Balancing the management of day-to-day operations with the creation of a vision for the future can block your ability to scale.
