What nobody teaches you about business, wealth and life
The business doesn't need more of you. It needs the right bits of you.
I built TOA Global from zero to $148M in revenue. Every week in Behind the Scale, I share what I learned the hard way, for owners of $1M+ businesses.
Less about the business. More about the person behind it.
I'm Nick Sinclair, Founder and Chairman of TOA Global. I grew up watching my parents run a franchise, went on to own an accounting firm, and then built TOA Global from nothing into a business with 4,300+ team members and $148M in revenue.
Here's what I've learned. Once a business has real scale, the business is rarely the problem. The founder is. How you lead, where your time goes, what you do with the money and who you are when you're not at work. That's what nobody teaches you, and it's what I talk about.
Read my storyYou've built something real. So why does it still feel this hard?
If you own a $1M+ business, some of these will hit close to home:
- Every big decision still lands on your desk, and the business slows down whenever you're not there.
- You've got a leadership team, but you're still the one holding it together.
- The business is worth a lot on paper, but most of your wealth is locked up in it.
- Your family gets what's left of you at the end of the day.
- If someone asked who you are outside the business, you'd struggle to answer.
I've been through every one of these. Behind the Scale is where I share what actually worked, and what didn't.
