Once, James Mackenzie, co‑founder of Purecolo, had big dreams but knew that growth meant more than just ideas—it needed strong teams and smart systems. He learned that when people work well together, the company grows stronger and faster. Today, he tells that journey as five simple strategies that anyone can use.

Key topics covered:

• How team dynamics drive business growth
• Scaling operations while staying resilient
• Bootstrapping, acquisitions, and organic growth
• Planning for long‑term exits with steady systems
• Connecting leadership with personal values for real results
