In this episode of Properties to Profits, I’m diving into the real challenges of scaling a business by transitioning from being a high-performing solo operator to effectively managing a team. If you’re used to locking up deals and running the show yourself, handing over responsibilities and guiding others can feel like foreign territory. I share what it’s looked like in my own journey, and why mastering this shift is key if you’re aiming to grow beyond the six-figure mark.
 
I also introduce a strategy I use called the “pre-performance paragraph”—a simple but powerful framework to help lead conversations with intention, especially when someone on your team needs to step up. Whether you’re building a sales team or managing day-to-day operations, these insights can help you communicate better, create stronger culture, and ultimately build a business that doesn’t just rely on you.
