Running a business on sticky notes, late nights, and last-minute decisions? I’ve been there. In this episode of Rocky Mountain Marketing, I sit down once again with my operational other half and COO, Shawn Quintero, to share the behind-the-scenes journey of turning Next Step Social & Podcasting from a founder-dependent business into a scalable, framework-driven company.We get real about what it takes to stop doing it all and start leading intentionally. From the CEO-COO relationship, to daily huddles, GWC evaluations, and how we use the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to guide every move—we're pulling back the curtain on the systems and rhythms that power sustainable growth.Whether you're a solopreneur with a team or a visionary ready to scale, this episode is your blueprint.In this episode, we discuss:<ul><li>The turning point when we shifted from solopreneurship to a true business model</li><li>How hiring for growth (not relief) changes everything</li><li>What it really means to become a CEO vs. just being a founder</li><li>Why EOS became our growth framework</li><li>How we run our business with vision, data, and process clarity</li><li>Daily huddle structure that keeps our team aligned and efficient</li></ul>Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction to Business Scaling00:00:00 Introduction to Business Scaling00:03:00 Transitioning from Solopreneurship00:06:00 Strategic Hiring and Systematization&nbsp;00:09:00 Understanding EOS and Its Components00:12:00 Building a Strong Business Partnership00:15:00 The Role of Vision and Delegation00:18:00 Implementing Daily Huddles and GWC Test00:21:00 The Importance of Complementary Skills00:24:00 Maintaining Alignment and Communication00:27:00 Scaling with Structure and Systems00:30:00 Conclusion and Call to ActionVisit Shawn Quintero online:LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/heyshawnq/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/heyshawnq/</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeyShawnQ/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/HeyShawnQ/</a>Learn more about Katie and Next Step Social & Podcasting:Speaking: https://katiebrinkley.com/Website: https://yournextstep.agency/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiebrinkleyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/@rockymountainmarketingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkatiebrinkley/<hr> Hosted on Acast.
