87: #87 Why Staying Small Can Help Your Business Grow Faster

There’s a myth out there that success means a seven-figure business, a flashy team, and an agency setup — but that’s not the only way to grow. In fact, I believe (and have experienced firsthand) that staying small can often be the most powerful route to success. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to be a “company of one,” why I made my staff redundant and returned to working from home, and how redefining success helped me build a simpler, more profitable, and much happier business. We’ll explore how outsourcing key tasks — like to a VA, a podcast editor, or an accountant — can still support growth without giving away your autonomy or peace of mind. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to go bigger just because that’s what the internet says, I’m here to give you full permission to say “no thanks” — and grow your business your way. 💡 Staying small doesn’t mean playing small — it means choosing sustainability, alignment, and joy over unnecessary complexity. 🛠️ Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with me Are you a proud company of one?
