The adage that a business's success is 95% process and 5% people is a truism. However, scaling to nine figures depends on systems, teams, and product development.

Amazon selling expert Jamie Davidson shares that his brand rapidly grew to an eight-figure business. But when he committed to expanding to nine figures, Jamie recognized that he needed to adjust his systems and processes. He advises that as you build your business, you can conduct time studies to assess where you’re exhausting your time and identify time-consuming activities. Once you analyze your time study, work to reduce activity times, prioritize duties, and automate or delegate tasks. Additionally, you should focus on product development by creating new products and staying up-to-date on emerging industry trends. Lastly, Jamie recommends focusing on profit margin and inventory management. Understanding your net helps to determine your ability to reinvest in new products.
