406: Before You Open a 2nd Location, Do This

Have you ever wondered whether opening a second location is truly the next right step for you? In this episode, I dive deep into the reality of expansion. I share the three non-negotiables you MUST have before you even think about signing another lease: proof, predictability, and people. You'll hear real stories from my clients about what worked, what crashed, and the hard lessons learned along the way. If you've ever felt pressured by others to "just open another location," or you're simply bursting at the seams and considering expansion, this episode will help you slow down, ask the right questions, and build the leadership systems and team structure that actually set you up for sustainable growth.
