Scaling a business from ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore is not just about better marketing, sales, or systems. It requires a strategic transformation in how entrepreneurs think, execute, hire, manage money, and build long-term growth engines.
As an entrepreneur coach, your job is to guide clients through a structured, outcome-focused roadmap. This detailed playbook breaks down mindset, strategy, systems, team, marketing, sales, and financial frameworks that help clients scale sustainably.
🔹 Section 1: Understand the Client’s Current Stage (₹10L Level Diagnosis)
Most entrepreneurs stuck at the ₹10–25L annual revenue level face the same issues:

- Business lacks systems & delegation.
Your Coaching Goal:
Diagnose bottlenecks and give clarity on what’s stopping growth.
Core Tools to Use

- Time Allocation Audit (where effort is wasted).
- Revenue Leaks Checklist (unoptimized margins, low conversions).
