How the Owner of "Lados Mebel" Stepped Out of Operations and Increased Turnover by 42% in 14 Months

Diana Zenkina, the owner of "Lados Mebel" company, went from being a squirrel in a wheel to a confident leader. Her company, specializing in furniture and components for the B2B segment, had always enjoyed a good reputation and client recommendations. However, for a long time, internal processes depended on Diana alone.

The Starting Point

For thirty years, Diana combined the roles of owner, CEO, and head of several departments. This led to a blurring of responsibilities, endless disputes in meetings, and constantly having to clean up after everyone. "I felt like a humster in a wheel, I knew I was doing something wrong, but I no longer had the energy for development," Diana recalls. Scaling was hampered by minor issues, and the entire process relied solely on her.

Finding a Solution and the Turning Point

Before enrolling in the training, Diana was already interested in Alexander Vysotsky's methodology and had attended one of his webinars. Afterwards, she decided on a full acceleration program with Business Booster. She realized that if she didn't change anything now, in five years she would be at the same point, only even more tired. This realization became the starting point for change and the reason to stop postponing the long-overdue decision. Diana's main request was clear. She wanted to step out of operations, learn to delegate, gain inner firmness, and learn to say no.

Transformations in 14 Months

Routine tasks were transferred to responsible employees, meetings became structured, decisions are now made faster, and data has become transparent for analysis. In addition, other significant changes occurred:

Diana's team grew from 50 to 75 people;
Annual turnover increased from $698 thousand to $995 thousand;
The machine park was updated, new products were launched, and procurement transparency was improved;
Word-of-mouth marketing share is growing, and participation in industry exhibitions supports the brand's status;
A new model is being built – a hub with franchisees – so that the "Lados Mebel" brand operates as an independent force.

The training transformed not only the company but Diana herself. Now she feels managerial calmness, focusing on coordination, communication, and approvals at the CEO level, instead of constantly solving urgent issues. The quality of working hours has changed, and she has found time for developing new areas, including studying artificial intelligence. "I am not the person I was three years ago. My brain is working properly now," says Diana. This realization became further proof for her that the sooner you establish order, the faster the business will start working for you, not the other way around. Business systematization also brought Diana closer to a personal goal. She had long dreamed of a long vacation to Machu Picchu and finally managed to allow herself to leave the company for a month.

Strength is in the System, Not in Heroism

The story of "Lados Mebel" demonstrates that the success of a brand and market recognition depend not on the heroic efforts of the owner, but on an effectively built system. Structure, transparent rules, and modern management tools free the business from dependence on one person and open the path to stable growth.
