How To Scale Your Expert-Based Business (Without Doing Everything Yourself)

I Want To Know

This is a special “Flip the Script” episode! Instead of answering a guest’s questions, host Josh Spector brings on an expert he wants to learn from and asks them three questions.

Today’s guest is Ryan Deiss. Ryan is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and advisor. He started 17 companies and exited four. His portfolio of companies generated an excess of $200 million in revenue last year alone. But he's also an author, speaker, and creator, and he knows what it takes to scale from a one-person expert-based business into a scalable and even sellable enterprise.

How do you build an operating system for your business? Is it possible to scale a business based on your individual expertise? And how do you find the right people to hire or partner with?

You're about to find out.

Here are some of the most valuable moments in the conversation:

05:42 - How To Create A Business Process Map Using Post-It Notes

21:52 - Do You Want To Build A Business Beyond You?
