Entrepreneurs and business owners can unlock real growth by building team dynamics that scale—insights from Purecolo’s James Mackenzie.

If your business isn’t growing, look at your team. That’s the core message from serial entrepreneur James Mackenzie, co-founder of Purecolo, in a recent episode of Knack 4 Business.

James has scaled multiple ventures through smart acquisitions, roll-ups, and operational systems—but what truly fueled his success was building high-performing teams.

Here are some key lessons he shared:

Growth starts with people. When team dynamics are strong, the business becomes resilient—even through rapid change.
Systemize to scale. A business can only grow when it doesn’t rely on one person. Building systems allows the team to take ownership.
Align vision and execution. James links personal growth to business growth. His teams thrive because the vision is clear and shared.
Invest in performance tools. James uses CykoMetrix to measure and improve team alignment and effectiveness.

These aren’t just tips—they’re tools he’s used to grow from the ground up. His advice is simple, but powerful for founders, solopreneurs, and operators worldwide.

If you're stuck in a cycle of doing more and growing less, James’s story reminds us: sustainable growth is a team sport. Strengthen the people, and the business will follow.
