Growth is exciting, but scaling a business too early-or for the wrong reasons-can create more problems than opportunities. In this insightful episode of the LBM Podcast, Mark Roberge shares a practical perspective on what it really takes to scale successfully. Instead of chasing rapid expansion, he explains why sustainable growth starts with understanding the right timing, building the right team, and staying focused on the right goals. 

One of the biggest takeaways is that growth isn't just about increasing revenue or hiring more people. Businesses need strong systems, repeatable processes, and clear leadership before taking the next step. Scaling without a solid foundation often leads to unnecessary complexity and missed expectations. 

Mark also emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with people who align with your company's mission and values. The right team doesn't simply help a business grow-they help protect its culture while adapting to new challenges. Hiring based on long-term fit instead of short-term need can make a significant difference as an organization expands. 

The conversation also highlights the role of thoughtful decision-making. Successful leaders don't grow because they feel pressured to keep up with competitors. They grow because they've identified a genuine opportunity and are prepared to support it with the right resources and strategy. 

Whether you're a founder launching your first company, a business owner planning the next stage of growth, or a leader responsible for scaling a team, this episode offers practical lessons you can apply immediately. It serves as a reminder that sustainable success isn't measured by how fast you grow-it's measured by how intentionally you grow. 

If you're looking to build a business that lasts, this episode provides valuable insights into scaling with confidence, purpose, and the right people by your side. 

Listen to the full conversation and discover why sustainable growth is built on strategy, people, and purpose-not speed.
