Unlocking the Next Phase of Growth – How to Structure Your Business for the Next Level

Welcome to The COO Solution Podcast, the go-to resource for business owners, CEOs, and visionary entrepreneurs looking to scale smarter, lead better, and build businesses that run without bottlenecks. I’m your host, Derek Fredrickson, and today’s episode addresses one of the most critical mindset and strategy shifts in entrepreneurship—how to stop being the bottleneck and start building a self-managing business that can run (and grow) without you.


In This Episode:


  • [01:05] Why Businesses Stall – How businesses outgrow their systems, leadership styles, and operations.
  • [03:20] The Bottleneck Truth – Why the same strategies and systems stop working at scale.
  • [04:43] Scaling with Leadership – The need to shift from doing it all to leading strategically.
  • [06:08] Operator to Visionary – Why founders must become CEOs, not Chief Everything Officers.
  • [07:28] Hiring a Second-in-Command – How a fractional COO or senior OBM can take the reins.
  • [08:13] Leadership Culture – Empowering leaders to manage teams and drive accountability.
  • [08:57] Operational Systems – SOPs, project management tools, and CRMs to streamline growth.
  • [11:54] Living Systems – Why adoption and usage matter more than tools.
  • [12:45] Accountability Culture – Establishing clear roles, KPIs, and performance reviews.
  • [16:00] Bottlenecks to Break – Identifying operational, leadership, and system bottlenecks.
  • [20:14] Evolving Business Models – Shifting models, pricing, and processes to scale smarter.
  • [23:22] Summary of Growth Essentials – Six core areas to structure your business for the next level.
  • [23:57] Action Assignment – Audit your time, identify bottlenecks, and revise your model for scale.


📌 Why This Matters

If your business can’t grow without you, you’re not scaling—you’re surviving. This episode guides you through the mindset shifts, structural changes, and leadership strategies needed to grow your business beyond your current ceiling truly.


✅ Action Steps for Listeners:

  • Audit your calendar, emails, and tasks: What can be delegated?
  • Identify where your business model feels stuck and why.
  • Explore what systems and support (like a COO) you need for the next level.
  • Reflect: “Where am I the bottleneck—and how can I systematize or delegate it?”
