10 Lessons From 7-Figures

Hi there fellow reader!

My name is JP — the author of The Scaling Digest.

I’ve built a business portfolio over the years through partnerships as well as my own sole-owned online companies. With some businesses doing mid-to-high six figures, other’s reaching seven figures in sales.

Today, I’m more of a consultant to online creators, coaches and service providers who are trying to scale their business.

Let’s dive into the 10 lessons shall we?

Here are my 10 lessons from operating 7-figure businesses:

#1: Be a customer-centric company.

#2: Lead your team and customers with a clear vision.

#3: The success of the business is directly tied to the personal development of the founder.

#4: You don’t need new offers until your core offer is dialed in.

#5: Don’t scale something that crashes and burns. Build for sustainability, predictability and durability.

#6: Be methodical and intentional when it comes to scaling your business.

#7: To have a successful and performing team, you must set them up for success with systems and processes that enable them to thrive.

#8: Treat your business like an asset.

#9: Design the business around your life, not your life around your business.

#10: To attract world-class clients, you need world-class products and services that produce transformation in people’s lives.

A lot of these lessons came from experiencing scaling a business that I became out of alignment with.

It’s a terrible feeling when you’re passionate about what you do but end up hating the thing you built, specially when you’ve put so many years of work into it with countless sacrifices along the way.

There’s a theme within all those lessons.

That theme is clarity and intentionality.

Sometimes being a successful entrepreneur doesn’t need to look like scaling a business to astronomical revenue levels with high levels of complexity.

It can look like hitting a certain threshold and then determining how much more you want to grow your business.

Success is the freedom of choice.

Choice to grow more.

Choice to maintain.

Choices and decisions made in alignment with the vision you have for your life and business.

After all, YOU are the entrepreneur — you’re the one that knows the answers to what feels right.

If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it just because it’s traditional in the business space to be hyper focused on growth.
