Only 2% to 4% of female founders ever successfully scale past the 7-figure mark. Why?
Are you stuck at a revenue plateau? If your business is trapped around the six or seven-figure mark and you feel like you have to wear every single hat just to keep it afloat, this episode is your blueprint out of the weeds.
In this episode of the High Achieving Female Podcast, we sit down with Coco Selman, a 5-time serial entrepreneur, impact investor, and founder of A Force for Good. Coco details her incredible journey of building Illume Home Care—a business inspired by her stepdaughter's medical needs—and scaling it from zero to an 8-figure powerhouse with 7-figure profitability in just 4 years before executing a successful exit.
Coco explains why so many female founders hit a hard ceiling at $1M and breaks down the exact tactical frameworks needed to scale past it. You'll learn how to audit your time for "highest and best use," how to build a business that can run smoothly without you, and why you should adopt a Fortune 500 company mindset even if you're currently a team of one.
Coco also reveals her massive new 12-month goal: acquiring a cash-flowing business with $1M to $2M in EBITDA, proving that she doesn't just teach growth strategy—she actively lives it.
In this video, you will learn:
- How to take a deeply personal, emotional mission and turn it into a highly scalable asset.
- The exact "special sauce" structure Coco used to fix employee turnover and sustain rapid growth.
- How to shift your mindset to view your current company as a "chapter," not your identity.
- The difference between everyday habits and "high-potency actions" that drive massive scale.
- How Coco’s year-long Founders Circle program uses data dashboards and peer accountability to break through revenue ceilings.
