Scaling a business is never easy. Whether you’re facing profitability gaps, team misalignment, or operational inefficiencies, you’re here because you’re ready to create lasting, meaningful change—for yourself, your team, your clients, and your business.
At SMCG, one of our core values is to "underpromise and overdeliver"—and that’s exactly what this page is designed to do!
We’ll go beyond surface-level advice. By focusing on the areas that drive success—profit, people, and process—we’ll equip you with actionable strategies that have helped thousands of businesses achieve real, measurable results.
This isn’t about theory. It’s about taking decisive action and seeing your efforts pay off.
Addressing These Challenges Changes Everything
What if you had a business that…
​
-
Ran smoothly without constant intervention? Imagine a team that takes ownership, solves problems independently, and reduces the daily interruptions, giving you time to focus on strategy.
​
-
Gave you back your evenings and weekends? With clear roles and aligned expectations, your team could handle operations seamlessly, freeing you to focus on personal and family time.
​
-
Created scalable systems for growth? Empowered teams would build processes that reduce inefficiencies and set your business up for long-term success, even in your absence.
​
-
Consistently delighted your customers? Imagine delivering an exceptional client experience with a team committed to exceeding expectations and representing your business with pride.
What if you had profits that…
​
-
Stopped slipping through the cracks? By identifying and fixing hidden inefficiencies, you could retain more of your revenue and reinvest in growth.
​
-
Grew with every effort you made? Improved margins and smarter resource allocation would ensure each dollar you earn works harder for you.
​
-
Finally rewarded your hard work? After years of pouring your heart, soul, and countless hours into the business, imagine being able to take profits out with confidence, knowing your efforts are paying off sustainably.
​
-
Funded the future you dream of? By building a healthier financial foundation, you can confidently reinvest in growth, secure your business's future, and even create a cushion for the life you've envisioned beyond the grind.
Most challenges fall into three key areas: People, Profit, and Process.
While many business owners believe they’re struggling with process issues, the root cause often lies in people or profit.
Let’s break this down together and uncover your greatest opportunities for impactful change.

People Challenges and Move From Misalignment to Momentum

Step 2: Build the Dream Team with the Right
Structure
Building a high-performing team starts with a clear structure.
Without the right framework, even the most talented team members can feel directionless. This is your opportunity to ensure every role is defined, aligned, and optimized to support your goals.
​
In this step, you'll take the first action toward creating the team you need.
We’ll help you:
-
Clarify Roles: Define key responsibilities so everyone knows their lane and can focus on delivering results.
-
Identify Gaps: Spot missing pieces in your structure and create a plan to fill them with the right talent.
-
Eliminate Overlaps: Prevent redundancy and confusion by assigning accountability to the right seats.
Download the framework to map out your team structure. This isn’t just an organizational chart—it’s a roadmap to a more efficient, aligned, and empowered team.
​
Pro Tip: Remember, the best structure isn’t about titles or hierarchy.
It’s about ensuring each role drives your business forward.

Step 3: Boost Your Operating Margin & Efficiency
Operating Margin Matters More Than You Think
​
Your operating margin isn’t just a number—it’s the heartbeat of your business. A healthy margin gives you the flexibility to reinvest in growth, navigate economic uncertainty, and take profits home without the stress of sacrificing stability.
​
When your margins are tight, every decision feels high-stakes. But when your margins are optimized, your business gains breathing room to innovate, adapt, and thrive.
​
This step is about finding efficiencies in how you run your business, uncovering hidden costs, and ensuring that every dollar works harder for you. After all, scaling isn’t about working more—it’s about working smarter.
​
Let’s get started by determining your Operating Margin. In the fields below enter your current annual revenue and current annual operating expenses (Include things like rent, salaries, utilities, supplies, but exclude taxes and loan interest). If you don't know them, it's ok to use your best guess.
​
Where Does Your Business Stand?
​
Your operating margin is a key indicator of how efficiently your business converts revenue into profit.
It reflects your ability to manage costs, maintain competitive pricing, and reinvest in growth.
Benchmarks vary across industries, so it’s important to know where your business fits.
​​​
Operational Efficiency
Operational efficiency is the backbone of a thriving business. Answer these 8 key questions to uncover potential inefficiencies and prioritize the areas for improvement.
Every operational inefficiency—whether in team productivity, revenue consistency, or customer fulfillment—can impact your profitability, operating margin and growth potential.
​​
Why it matters:
​
Efficient operations reduce costs, boost morale, and create a seamless experience for your customers.
If you marked any areas yellow or red, it’s time to investigate further and address these challenges head-on for a more scalable and profitable business.
​
Step 4: Pinpoint What’s Holding You Back
Get Your Score to Identify and Prioritize Your Business Challenges
