When it comes to scaling up, sooner or later there’s one thing that will always punch you square in the face – hard.
Capacity.
See your capacity to consistently deliver is what keeps the cash coming in.
But if your capacity dips?
Well, people start chasing… you start reacting… and good quickly turns to bad as you get pulled from pillar to post.
Truth is, if you’ve ever experienced feast and famine, you’ve been hit by the capacity crisis first-hand.
It’s why the ability to create capacity is always king if you like making money at scale.
Now, in the new world, and when it comes to creating capacity, you’d be wise to do it from three things and three things only…
.Automations.
.Systems.
.Processes.
… NOT employees.
Because the truth is:
Employees are not scalable…
Not even the good ones
Here’s why…
As inflation skyrockets, so do employee costs, by a factor of two.
That’s before you take into consideration that sooner rather than later, they will want more money – again.
It’s a cross that a few of us can afford to bear.
Especially right now and especially when most employees have never been more lazy, or work-shy.
Not to mention, of course, they’re only humans…
So they get sick, take holidays, and can rarely think for themselves.
It’s why aimlessly adding body after body, to any business, is a fool’s errand when it comes to capacity creation.
Because employees cost you a king’s ransom in both time and money.
The truth is, even if you could get good ones for pennies on the dollar…
Bloat from bodies makes you slow and cumbersome.
Always.
And remember…
… As a rule and as you scale, you’d be wise to keep your business interests LEAN and agile.
It means you can turn on a dime and in the blink of an eye.
It’s why I’d urge you to make your cash cow for capacity is this:
Automate now & fast, or die!
In other words, you’d be wise to start automating and systemising the grunt work so that things consistently happen on time, every time – like clockwork…
No matter where you are or what you’re doing.
The cherry on the cake being, once you have automated systems in place – if you then have to bring bodies on board, there’s no more babysitting and no more backchat.
You just plug people into the process.
The machine then deploys and delegates their daily drudge.
Automatically.
Without you having to lift a finger.
It’s how McDonald’s gets low-paid people to do high-skilled work…
And how you can do the same.
Finally giving you an asset and a system for making money that you own and control.
(If you ever want to sell your business, this is how you do it the right way and make a killing.)
And look, I know…
You can’t automate everything.
But what if you can start taking 10%, 20% even 50% of the grunt work off your plate, hour after hour, week after week… on auto-pilot.
You’d wipe out reactivity and reliance overnight.
The best part being, when it comes to systems and automations:
.They never stop working.
.They never let up.
.They never get sick.
… They just do the work, predictably and consistently, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Creating the kind of capacity needed to hit £1M+ without you needing an army of employees.
It’s why systems will always set men free.
So that all said, if on the back of this, you are ready to scale to 1M+ without an army of employees (the right way) then here’s what to do next.
