The company faced critical scaling challenges:
Leadership bottlenecks with Ally and her husband handling day-to-day operations.
Lack of role clarity causing team confusion and dependency on founders
Systems that couldn't support their aggressive growth trajectory toward a $30M exit
I FIND MYSELF GETTING SO BURIED IN ANSWERING COMMENTS THAT THE TEAM HAS QUESTIONS ON... I FIND MYSELF SPENDING SO MUCH TIME TRYING TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE CAN DO THEIR JOB DAY TO DAY THAT I FIND I'M NOT DOING MINE." (...) "WHERE I DON'T KNOW IS LIKE, WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING AFTER I EMPOWER THE TEAM? AND I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT OF THAT, OF LIKE, I'M NOT LETTING SOME OF THAT GO BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS MY VALUE GOING TO DIMINISH?
Ally Mills co-owns The Patch with her husband and three silent partners. Despite impressive revenue
growth and strong profit margins, Ally recognized the warning signs of operational strain in their rapidly
scaling business. With a strong goal of doubling revenue every year to prep for a sale they knew they had
to get ahead of their success.
Created role clarity and organizational structure to reduce founder dependency
Established a "Single Source of Truth" for team processes and responsibilities
Developed leadership capabilities in key team members
Implemented systems that allowed founders to step back from daily operations
The transformation delivered immediate impact:
Founders able to focus on strategic vision rather than daily operations
Empowered department heads taking ownership of their areas
Clear communication protocols and meeting structures
Systems positioned to support continued aggressive growth
LONG-TERM IMPACT:
Only 6 months later, The Patch is now equipped to achieve their ambitious goals, with founders working "on" rather than "in" the business. They are on track for their target $30M exit.
