Growing a small business is no easy feat. This is one of the most challenging things I’ve done, but also most rewarding, and I’m still not done yet. My first year was full of growth and learning. I moved to Philadelphia in 2015 and started both companies on my 26th birthday. Momentum Digital I started with a friend, who ended up being useless. Within a year I had to buy the business from him and it wasn’t pretty. Phone Repair Philly I started and grew by myself. Hiring and training was so difficult, but essential in learning the proper ways to hire, interview, train and grow.

Within my first year I grew both businesses to over $100,000 each. Hitting that 6-figure mark is important. Getting to 7-figures is what’s challenging. The key to growth is people, processes, and profits. People will be the key to your succeses. This is where I’ve made TONS of mistakes. Hire slow and fire fast. Go with your gut. I’ve hired, trained and fired hundreds of employees, contractors and freelancers over the years. Take advantage of your resources and utilize your network. Processes are key as well. You need SOPs to help streamline everything; from firing, to training, to sales, to marketing. Profits is what can really help you scale though. Reinvest your profits into the 3 Ps, especially into marketing.
