Service Based Business Society Podcast

The business that gets you to one million is not the one that gets you to five. Michael Walsh has spent thirty years helping owners of service based businesses grow through the points where things quietly break, and in this conversation he names them.

Michael is the founder of the Walsh Business Growth Institute in Vancouver and the author of Freedom by Design: The Established Business Owner's Guide to Grow, Make an Impact, and Find the Joy Again.

In this episode:

• Why he left tax planning: it is very hard to save people more tax than they pay
• Why the structures of a $1M company and a $10M company have almost nothing in common
• The client who was told to let go of her million pound goal, and why
• The relationship math: 25 people is 300 one on one relationships, 50 people is 1,225, 100 people is almost 5,000
• Why middle management is the hardest job in any company
• What happens when you promote your best producer (you lose twice)
• The Gallup finding that 71% of managers rank themselves in the top 20%
• Business as a well oiled machine versus an intelligent ecosystem
• The danger zones at $2M, $5M, $8 to 10M and $12 to 20M
• Why 80% of problems past 20 people are people problems, and why people are also the fix
