⛓️💥 ☀️ Chained to Your Desk on a Friday? It's Friday again, but instead of planning your weekend, you're buried under a pile of work that just won't quit. Sound familiar? Let me tell you about Mark, a CEO who once believed that stepping away from his business—even for a moment—would lead to disaster. Mark was a prisoner in his own company, spending every waking hour trying to keep the wheels turning. But what if I told you that Mark’s biggest fear was actually what was holding him back? It seems counterintuitive, but the more you let go of micro-managing every detail of your business, the more control you actually gain. When you empower your team to make decisions, you’re not just freeing up your own time—you’re building a team that can scale your success far beyond your individual capacity. Think of it this way: a leader’s real power comes from orchestrating the big picture, not holding all the strings. Intrigued? This is just the beginning. Our signature program - OpsFreedom Accelerator™️ helps you achieve this - without giving the CEO more to do or adding to your overflowing task list. In fact, we work with both CEO and Ops Leader, allowing the CEO to drive growth and think big while the Ops Leader and team work with us to streamline and improve both the Processes and People that drive your Operations. We keep this program very small so you get the attention you want and deserve. That's why there’s a waiting list as we only bring in two new clients per month. 🤩 AND we have one spot left in May. This page is designed to offer more information and allow you to decide if you are interested in learning more: https://lnkd.in/g3i3KyXK 🫱🏼🫲🏽 But let me be clear: in the face of all the AI and technology (yep, we use them too), we remain focused on building relationships. And as such, once you’ve joined the waitlist, we’ll schedule a brief introductory call to get to know each other and help you clearly see the path from where you are to where you want to be - even if we're not the best resource to help you close the gap.

Meet my friend Kaitlin Strand, a strategic operations leader who excels at knocking down communications barriers, increasing scalability, and building successful teams. Scaling a growing company and launching a tech start-up demand unique skill sets. When your SaaS team is overwhelmed, consider what they need to succeed. If you're unsure of the answer, Kaitlin can help!

I used to believe that if I had a good service, clients would come naturally. For months, it held me back from scaling. Then I discovered something that changed everything: People didn’t even know I existed. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized I’d been relying on people finding me on their own, when I should have been actively putting myself out there. The results? In just two weeks, my messages increased fivefold. But here’s the kicker: It wasn’t about crafting the perfect sales message. It was about consistently sharing insights and sparking discussions. Now, I help small to medium-sized business owners achieve similar results. Want to know how? Drop a “Yes” in the comments!

You are spot-on, Jason. Emerging organizations rely on being flexible and responsive to the needs of the market in order to gain a foothold. This is important. However, this must be balanced by early establishment of processes in order to create a repeatable and scalable path to sustained and projected growth. Additionally, standardizations allow team members to move forward efficiently within defined parameters--leading to streamlined turnaround, which leads to internal and external customer confidence.

237 people have already requested a copy of UNSTUCK before we even launched it today! This is super cool! (and increases my confidence that maybe I should indeed write a proper book about it 🤓) For those who haven’t requested a copy, yet (no hard feelings); UNSTUCK is our new white paper to help businesses achieve exceptional growth when it seems impossible. At its core is the 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥; a practical framework I've developed to help you make sense of all the meaningful growth strategies that exist (and to help you ignore all the ones that are not meaningful). 6 strategies to be precise. They break down into three gravitational fields: 🌍  Core: Strategies focused on strengthening the core business—where gravity is strongest. Think market penetration, product innovations, or M&A that integrates directly into the business. 🛰️ Adjacent: Diversifying by leveraging existing assets to create something new. This could mean building new offerings, bolt-on acquisitions, or a mix of the two. 🌠  Detached: Exploring opportunities disconnected from the core business—where there’s little to no gravitational pull. Spoiler alert: there are very few good reasons to venture out so far. After more than two decades tackling some of the toughest corporate growth challenges, one could say I’ve learned a few things. Mostly through trial, error, and a fair share of failures. I've distilled my learnings down into this white paper. If this sounds useful to you, the link is in the comments. #BusinessGrowth #Strategy #Innovation

We stopped working with 6 clients in the last 2 quarters. . Do you know why ? Sounds like a bold move, right? But here's the thing... my mentor once told me: "If you want to scale Jordensky to ₹100 Cr ARR, you need clients who match your vibes and are the right partners for your growth journey." And that stuck with me. These weren’t just any clients—we’re talking about the ones who: - Don’t pay on time (even after countless follow-ups), - Drag work to the last minute and blame us for last-minute errors, - Are non-compliant and find ways to cut corners at every opportunity, - Always look for the cheapest option, not realizing the value we bring. At Jordensky, we’ve adopted a quarterly practice of identifying "DRAG CLIENTS"—the ones holding us back—and giving them a notice. Because scaling up isn’t just about adding clients; it’s about partnering with the right clients. Do you have “drag clients” too? What’s your strategy for dealing with them?

Scale-ure: when you move from building to scaling and do not prepare at all for the very different people challenges headed your way. This becomes acutely painful, very quickly. I teach my clients what to watch for during this process and give them the tools they need to ease the pain as much as possible. It’s never easy.

Personal update: I joined Ferdinand, Joliene and Clément as partner at The Growth Syndicate. We're a team of fractional growth leaders and help B2B firms move from 1 to 100 million in revenue through: - A strong strategic growth foundation - Tactical execution Truth be told, I think the biggest challenge in B2B is the over-indexing on strategy and the under-indexing on actually bringing that strategy into the market with high-quality execution. Especially at the 1 million revenue mark, I see many firms investing into strategic advice, when really they should be investing in better marketing and growth execution. The model of TGS is different here. We build a strong strategic foundation AND help execute on that strategy to actually deliver measurable growth. Value creation lives off strong strategy AND execution. In that sense, it ties back directly to my work with Fintalent (looking at you, Dan Cremons 😉). Pumped to be joining this ride for the next months.
