Thoughts:
“Growth doesn’t cause chaos. It reveals the chaos you’ve been ignoring.”
“Stop trying to do everything right by yourself. Start making systems that do things right without you.”
“You don’t need better staff. You need better systems your staff can follow.”
Let’s be honest…
Some of you are making more money now…
But you’re also sleeping less, shouting more, and low-key regretting this whole “scaling” thing.
It feels like, you are even make more profit when you were doing it all yourself.
You thought once the orders started coming in and staff handles it, life would be sweet.
Instead, you feel like a slave to your own business.
Wetin dey sup?
Let me tell you the truth nobody says out loud…
One of my students hit ₦9.2M in 1 month.
Everyone in the group was shouting “Odogwu!”
But he messaged me privately like this:
“Boss, I swear I’m not even enjoying this money. My staff dey frustrate me. Orders dey hang. I dey repeat the same instructions every day. My head dey burn.”
I laughed… not because it was funny – but because I’d been there.
In the past, I’ve had ₦11M months that felt like hospital admission.
Because I had no structure.
No team rhythm.
No SOPs.
No peace.
Most Ecommerce owners think the next level is more ads…
But the truth is: the next level is more systems.
Scaling doesn’t expose your potential – it exposes your chaos.
You’re not tired because you’re working hard.
You’re tired because your brain is managing what your business should’ve systemized.
You’re not growing slow because of staff laziness.
You’re growing slow because they don’t know what to do without you telling them.
Growth without systems is stress.
And stress kills speed.
Some of the biggest upgrade your business needs now
1. The Real MVP: SOPs That Think For You
Your staff shouldn’t be asking you “What should I do next?” every day.
If your delivery agent calls you before every trip…
If your customer support team is still asking how to process a refund…
If your ads manager is still waiting for you to send ad copy…
You don’t have a business.
You have a job with extra people eating your money.
SOPs = Standard Operating Procedures.
Think of them like cooking recipes.
If you’re always explaining how to cook rice… that’s on you.
Write the damn recipe.
Train them once.
Then watch how they stop disturbing you.
You can scale stress-free… if your systems are smarter than your team.
And they should be.
But SOPs alone won’t save you if you’re still playing “chief everything officer” in your head…
2. Stop Being the Hero. Start Being the Architect.
Here’s what most Ecommerce owners don’t realize:
Micromanagement is a poverty mindset.
You think you’re “protecting the business” but you’re actually slowing it down.
Imagine a building site where the engineer is also carrying cement, mixing concrete, and climbing scaffold…
That’s most of you.
You’re still the salesperson, the customer care agent, the ad creative team, the delivery manager…
And that’s why you’re STUCK.
If you want to grow, you must let go.
Delegate outcomes.
Not just tasks. This way…
Your staff starts thinking like owners
You stop being the only one that sees problems
Execution becomes predictable, not accidental
Give them ownership.
Give them clear numbers.
And watch the business move without you.
3. Stop Mistaking Activity For Progress
Let me drag you a bit.
A lot of you are secretly addicted to chaos.
You enjoy being “needed.”
That’s why you don’t document your process.
That’s why you hoard information.
That’s why nobody can run your business if you fall sick.
But here’s the hard truth:
If your business needs you every day – it’s a ticking time bomb.
Real growth looks boring.
It’s team leads sending reports.
It’s staff solving issues without a WhatsApp panic.
It’s cash flowing in – because someone is in charge of requesting delivery payment
You’ll never scale past ₦10M/month consistently without building a business that runs on process.
And it starts with simple things:
- Write out what you do daily
- Turn it into a checklist
- Hand it to someone else
- Measure their performance
- Fix. Train. Improve.
Over and over. Predictably.
So now that you know what’s missing… what are you going to do about it?
