Thinking about scaling your store? This episode is your checklist. Susan and Inner Circle coach Melissa Davies break down what most store owners get wrong when they try to grow—and the five things you need to do before you scale.

If you’re not profitable now, scaling won’t fix it. It’ll just magnify the problem. Tune in to hear how to prepare your business to grow without burning out or running out of cash.

You’ll Learn:

✅ Why your first step isn’t marketing—it’s accounting ✅ How to know if you’re really ready to scale ✅ What to look for in a bookkeeper (and how to know if they’re doing it wrong) ✅ How to calculate your cost to acquire a customer ✅ How to set aside a “growth fund” so you’re not scaling on fumes
