2233 - How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy in Business Growth with Your Modern Legacy's Aaron Goodwin

How to Scale Your Business and Build Effective Teams: In-Depth Insights from Aaron Goodwin of Your Modern Legacy
In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Aaron Goodwin, Founder & CEO of Your Modern Legacy, to explore how business owners can strategically scale, hire, and build systems that free them to work on their business, not just in it.
Scaling Strategy, Delegation, and Mindset
Aaron introduces a stage-based approach to scaling: $0–1M emphasizes sales and marketing, $1–3M prioritizes team building, and $3–8M requires systematization. He stresses that each stage brings its own challenges, and what brought you success at one level won’t necessarily work for the next. Clarity about your current business stage is essential for targeted growth.
To unlock growth, Aaron recommends a practical four-step hiring framework—role definition, structured screening, skills assessments, and behavioral interviews—designed for consistency and long-term fit. He further urges business owners to perform a time audit, tracking their tasks to reveal where delegation is needed. Doing so helps free up the founder’s time for strategic priorities.
Aaron also advocates for a “future-self” mindset: begin living in alignment with your vision of leadership today. Simple actions—outsourcing non-core tasks, documenting systems, and making hiring decisions aligned with your goals—signal to your brain and your team that you’re committed to elevating your business. That alignment, he explains, is what powers growth and leads to lasting freedom.
