Just like with human beings, businesses also must move from birth to adolescence to maturity.  But it can be easy to get stuck on the way to becoming a fully “mature” business, and it’s important to avoid a few common pitfalls on your journey. Our guest this week is an expert on that evolution, as well as someone who has coached hundreds of business owners on moving past that “adolescent” phase. Nick Cramp is a business coach and author, with more than 30 years of business experience. Through his work, he’s gained a wealth of knowledge about how to both approach the challenges and reap the awards of day-to-day work. He’s also the author of “Better Before Bigger: Rethinking Business Success.” Listen to the full conversation for more on Nick’s six steps for a business to move from adolescence to maturity, what business owners should “let go of” on that journey in order to scale their company, some of the common traps that ensnare founders when trying to grow their business, and more. Here’s a Glimpse of What You’ll Learn:   What it means to be in the “adolescent” stage of business, and some of the problems associated with that phase  Nick’s recommended first steps for business owners to transition from manager to shareholder, and why it’s so important for them to articulate what their “ideal” role is as a leader How Nick helps business founders let go of billable work and move on to other ways of adding value to their organization The biggest trap that business owners often fall into, and the mindset shift they need to make in order to avoid it How Nick thinks business owners’ leadership should “evolve” as their company grows  Some of the biggest insights Nick has gained from his book-writing process  The 6 components for businesses to move from adolescence to maturity—plus which one founders most commonly get “stuck” on  Why client retention is one of the most important standards for Nick’s consulting business, as well as some of the other ways he measures success, both in his professional and personal life The habits Nick has integrated into his life to be at his best, both physically and mentally   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:   “Better Before Bigger: Rethinking Business Success” by Nick Cramp Nick’s website Nick Cramp on LinkedIn  “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game” by Michael Lewis 40 Strategy Contact 40 Strategy Carl J.

Growing out of the “adolescent” stage of business, with Nick Cramp

Nick Cramp is a transformation coach and author. He challenges leaders to consider Better Before Bigger. In the past he’s been an e-myth coach, out of which came a book looking at how to build processes into your business, but now he’s written a new book, Better Before Bigger - Rethinking business success, where he shares how leaders can get out of the success trap. In this episode, Nick shares some guiding principles to help you rethink your business and how to define what success looks like. Business owners and leaders get to the point often where there are no more hours in the day, they can't work any harder. And that's when you've been caught in the success trap. How do you get out of that? How do you build teams of people? How do you build companies that can function with less, so that you can enjoy the success that you've built? What internal resources do you need? What resistance will you find within the organisation? What principles will guide you on this journey? Nick answers all of these questions and more in this great conversation. We really enjoyed it, we hope you will too. On today’s podcast:The success trapThe first hireBuild in the plateau phaseReframe, rethink, and then refocusWorking with Nick CrampLinks:Book - Better Before Bigger - Rethinking business successTwitter – @nickcrampLinkedIn – Nick CrampWebsite – www.nickcramp.com

E157 | How Adolescent Businesses Can Get Out of the Success Trap with Nick Cramp

In this episode I am joined by Nick Cramp, Business Consultant and Coach, and founder and facilitator of The Curious Leaders Network. Nick works with business leaders looking to grow their business from adolescence to maturity, supporting them to overcome the “Success Conundrum” — the business is successful by normal metrics (turnover, customers, people) but the owner/leader often doesn’t feel like the leader of a successful company. We chatabout this paradox, explore the shift needed in leadership behaviours and look at the concepts of choice and accountability in this context.
