Publisher's Synopsis
The 2nd book in the Building a Business in 2025 and Beyond series offers a no-fluff playbook for turning your business into a self-sustaining machine.
You built the business. Now what?
If you're still doing everything yourself-approving every invoice, solving every fire, and answering emails at midnight-you don't own a business. You own a job with overhead.
This book changes that.
In this brutally honest, tactical, and occasionally hilarious guide, you'll learn how to evolve from founder to architect and build a company that scales without sacrificing your sanity. Whether you're a startup entrepreneur or a business owner stuck in growth purgatory, this book gives you the systems, mindset, and strategies to break through.
Inside, you'll discover how to:
Design scalable systems that actually work (and don't break the moment you take a vacation)
Build a team that owns outcomes-not just tasks
Fire fast, lead clearly, and create a culture that performs
Stop chasing every opportunity and scale what actually works
Create loyal customers, upsell without sleaze, and build post-sale success
Step out of day-to-day operations and into the role of visionary leader
With real-world examples, battle-tested tactics, and sharp-edged humor, Building the Machine delivers the blueprint for entrepreneurs who are done playing small and ready to build something that lasts.
Don't just grow your business. Engineer it.
