How to Scale Your Business Using Backoffice Support While Being At Least a C+ Mom with Gabrielle Mills
Description
You started the business… now what? If accounting, HR, hiring, admin, and marketing are stretching you thin, this episode is your systems sanity check. I’m sitting down with Gabrielle Mills, co-founder and President of Sourced., a full-service back-office firm that grew from zero to five business units, 40+ team members, and clients nationwide—built by a mother–daughter team from the basement up.
We unpack exactly how to move from DIY chaos to a streamlined, scalable company—without burning out.
Back office decoded: What to outsource first (accounting, HR, admin/VA, marketing, talent acquisition) and what to keep in-house
Validate → build → scale: How Gabrielle and her mom mapped services directly to real client pain points
Systems vs. culture: Why great culture needs clear, enforceable processes to protect quality
Sales that last: Going from word-of-mouth to predictable pipelines as you level up
Hiring ≠ managing: Why “we can’t find good people” is often a management issue (and how to fix it)
AI & efficiency: What founders should be asking now to future-proof ops and margins
Motherhood, honestly: Maternity leave as a founder, Irish twins, and the best advice Gabrielle got: “Do whatever’s easiest in survival seasons.”
Founders who feel stuck in the weeds and want repeatable, scalable systems
Mompreneurs juggling growth, team, and family—and ready to get help
Operators building multi-service businesses or agencies
