If you are dreaming about growing your business but feeling stuck in the weeds of all the things, then this episode of Behind the Scene w. Teah is one you need to tune into. I sat down with business coach and marketing strategist Angelica Pompy for a powerful conversation about what it really takes to level up; not just in revenue, but in mindset, strategy, and operations.

Let’s be honest, building a thriving business is not for the faint of heart. It requires clarity, confidence, and a willingness to evolve, over and over again. And sometimes the boldest move is knowing when to get out of your own way.

Here are some key gems from our convo:

1. Hire Support Before You’re “Ready”

Angelica shared how hiring a VA early in her journey freed up so much mental space and allowed her to focus on the creative work that actually fuels her business. Too many women entrepreneurs try to do it all, thinking they can’t afford help. But the truth is, you can’t afford NOT to. Start small if needed, but start.

2. Clarity in Communication is Everything

Whether you’re hiring your first VA or bringing on a full team, how you communicate matters. Be clear on expectations, deliverables, and your brand values. The more clarity you provide, the better your team can support you.

3. Systems Are Your Secret Weapon

Angelica emphasized how having the right systems in place isn’t just about organization, it’s about creating freedom. Smooth processes = better client experiences and less chaos behind the scenes. Automation can be your best friend here.

4. Reflect and Realign Often

Sometimes the best way to move forward is to pause. Angelica shared how taking a step back to reflect can bring new clarity and opportunities that you might miss when you’re caught in the daily grind. Reflection should be part of your growth strategy.

5. Know Your Value & Lean Into It

One of the biggest lessons? Know what sets you apart and OWN IT. Understanding your unique value proposition is the foundation for everything, from your marketing to your pricing to how you show up for your clients.

6. Use AI & Tech to Amplify, Not Replace

AI and automation tools aren’t here to take over your business, they’re here to amplify your brilliance. Angelica gave great insight on using tech strategically to save time and scale smarter.

7. Focus on Income-Generating Activities

Not every task on your list is moving the needle. Identify your money-making activities and prioritize them. That’s how you shift from busy to profitable.

8. Community is Key

And finally, no one builds an empire alone. Find your people, lean on them, and remember that connection is a major currency in business. Community matters.
