How to Scale Multiple Businesses to 7 Figures

The conversation

Milan Savov talks with Mario Peshev, CEO of the WordPress agency DevriX and founder of Growth Shuttle, about scaling several businesses past seven figures. Mario explains that this kind of growth comes from layering repeatable systems, setting the right priorities and allocating resources wisely, not from one big leap. Leaders must evolve from hands-on operators into mentors and delegators as the business grows.

He sees operational efficiency, meaning clear processes and strong systems, as the backbone of sustainable scaling. He also discusses how community, mentorship and sharing knowledge through articles, books and courses help founders grow faster and avoid common mistakes.
