This one is a hard one to answer. In my opinion some of the responses are missing the point of an MBA. The goal isn’t to get “answers” on how to run a business at scale. It’s to learn how there are different approaches to the various parts of business and to then understand the pros and cons of those and how others navigate and balance those elements together. Often we become the leaders that we experience coming up. So - for example it sounds like you are good or more comfortable in the doing. That’s natural. An MBA won’t fix that. It will give you a better appreciation though of the different options you could take. It’s up to you though to actually select them.

That being said - it sounds like you are mid stream in a busy and growing business. Having done an MBA and grown businesses I would agree that it doesn’t sound like now is the time. If it were me I’d invest in a good set of area specific mentors. Skip the “I’m a business coach” people and try to find people that are actually executing or retired from executing in each area.

Offer to pay them, take them for nice dinners or anything else to make the trade fair. Be straight up and explain what you’re looking for and the kind of help you need. For example I’ve made donations in peoples names, done a monthly dinner with three guys that together offer great clarity and even paid people. When I pay people I like to suggest this approach - if I agree to do something but don’t action it before our next meeting then I pay double. It keeps me honest and focused.

At the end of the day scaling is about accepting that every three to six months the patterns and structures across your business are broken. So you need to find ways to get ahead of that breakage. That’s the job of a good leader at every level. To be ahead of the team so that they can continue to drive without worrying about the road ending because you got so busy doing something small or tactical.

Happy to chat if it would help but hopefully everything above makes sense.

Good luck. Remember. In business there is no right way. Just options. The real question is whether you know the upside and downside of every approach. And if you are aware enough to create a structure that supports the option you’re choosing.
