What do I mean by systems for scale?

Organizations best positioned to thrive have systems in place to ensure their back-of-house business operations run smoothly and efficiently.

These systems provide clarity and direction to team members, ensure consistent outcomes, and allow the founder to step away without operations coming to a halt.
