  • #81 – The Business Development Gap: Why Founders Stall After 7 Figures

    #81 – The Business Development Gap: Why Founders Stall After 7 Figures
    2026/06/24

    Many founders begin their entrepreneurial journey deeply involved in networking, relationship-building, and strategic visibility. However, as the business grows and operational demands increase, it is common for founders to step back from these activities—often unintentionally. While this shift may feel necessary, it can lead to a gradual decline in sales, reduced market visibility, and a disconnect from evolving industry trends.

    In this episode of Millions Were Made, Jessica Marx and Brooke Dumas address a critical yet often overlooked factor in sustained business growth: the founder’s role in business development. They explore why business development must remain a consistent priority at every stage of growth. Jessica provides a clear distinction between marketing and business development, emphasizing that while marketing supports visibility, business development drives strategic direction, partnerships, and long-term positioning.

    Key topics include:

    • Why stepping away from business development can lead to declining sales and missed opportunities

    • The distinction between marketing activities and true business development

    • How founders can remain competitive by staying informed on market trends and industry shifts

    • Identifying which aspects of business development require direct CEO involvement

    • Recognizing the signs of a disconnect between the founder and the business

    • Practical strategies for rebuilding a consistent business development rhythm

    • How to approach networking and industry conversations with intention and value

    • Recommended time allocation for business development on a weekly basis

    If you are experiencing a slowdown in growth, a lack of clarity in direction, or reduced engagement with your market, this episode provides actionable insights to help you realign and move forward with confidence. Listen now!

    #79 – Pt 1: The 90-Day Framework for Building High-Performing Teams
    2026/05/27
    In this episode of Millions Were Made, Jessica Marx is joined by Brooke Dumas, the Fractional COO brand of Tailored Premier, to examine one of the most overlooked drivers of team performance: ONBOARDING.While many founders dedicate significant time and resources to hiring, far fewer implement a structured onboarding process that ensures new team members are set up for success. The result is often misalignment, underperformance, and early turnover—despite hiring highly qualified individuals.Jessica and Brooke introduce their proprietary 90-day onboarding framework, a system implemented across client organizations to reduce owner dependency, improve clarity, and accelerate employee performance. They emphasize that the first 90 days are not only a critical evaluation period for the employee, but also a reflection of the company’s leadership, systems, and operational standards.Through real-world observations, they outline the common mistakes founders make—such as assuming experienced hires require minimal guidance—and explain why clearly documented processes, defined expectations, and consistent feedback are essential to building a high-performing team.This episode covers:Why onboarding is a key determinant of employee success and retentionThe risks of relying on assumptions rather than structured trainingHow lack of clarity leads to inefficiency and increased turnoverThe importance of defining and communicating company standardsWhy SOPs, checklists, and documentation are foundational to scalingHow to structure feedback and milestones within the first 90 daysThe long-term impact of a well-executed onboarding experienceThis episode serves as Part 1 of a two-part series designed to help founders implement a scalable and effective onboarding process that supports both team performance and business growth.Listen now and stay tuned for Part 2, where we will provide a detailed breakdown of the onboarding framework and how to implement it within your organization.Mini-timeline00:14–01:03 — Introduction to the 90-day onboarding framework01:04–02:15 — Why onboarding is critical to employee retention02:16–03:18 — The role of onboarding in shaping company culture03:19–04:53 — The risks of assuming new hires will “figure it out”04:54–06:30 — Common onboarding mistakes made by founders06:31–08:15 — Defining and communicating standards of excellence08:16–10:39 — The importance of SOPs, checklists, and structured plans10:40–11:31 — Hiring under pressure: build first or hire first?11:32–13:57 — The consequences of onboarding without infrastructure13:58–15:20 — The cost of early employee turnover15:21–17:52 — Case example: effective onboarding in practice17:53–19:30 — Building employee engagement and long-term commitment19:31–20:27 — Making informed decisions within the first 90 days20:28–22:42 — Preview of Part 2 and framework overviewResources90-Day Onboarding Framework (Download): https://astounding-founder-8808.kit.com/products/onboarding-blueprintFollow @millionsweremade on Instagram for frameworks + strategy tipsConnect with Jessica:Instagram: @millionsweremade | @thejessicamarxWork with Jessica: Tailored PremierWebsite: Millions Were Made
