My mission is to help small business owners achieve rapid, predictable growth and become market leaders in their industries. I founded Economic Moat, a consulting and acquisition company that partners with businesses to scale effectively and profitably by implementing innovative marketing strategies and creating unique market-leading offers. Our approach includes building protective economic moats to secure these gains against competitors. Over my 18-year career, I've been involved in scaling companies, acquiring businesses, and consulting, all while learning valuable lessons about sustainable growth. Here’s how my journey unfolded: • Early Start in Entrepreneurship: I began my entrepreneurial journey at 18 with a foreclosure rehab and cleanout business, quickly learning the power of seizing the right opportunities. • Pivot and Learning Marketing: After several pivots, I launched a commercial and residential cleaning business where I discovered the impact of strategic advertising and marketing. • Building and Selling Companies: Sold the cleaning business, ventured into real estate, and bought my father's company at 22, turning it around from the brink of closure to a profitable and growing enterprise. • Founding an Advertising Agency: Established a marketing agency focused on helping businesses scale profitably, which eventually led to a merger with another agency specializing in e-commerce. • Discovering the Power of Acquisitions: Realized the value of business acquisitions and exited my agency to focus on acquiring and scaling businesses. Completed seven acquisitions in my first year, blending my expertise in deal structuring and growth systems. • Launching Economic Moat: Founded Economic Moat to help businesses scale by building market-dominating strategies and protecting them with economic moats. Now, I prioritize partnering with businesses to help them grow by developing unique offers, refining their messaging, and implementing robust marketing and business development strategies. 🔗 Visit me online: https://www.mitchwilder.com 🔗 Join the Free Flywheel Community: https://www.skool.com/flywheel/about I'm passionate about empowering entrepreneurs to create sustainable growth, and I’m excited to help more business owners turn their growth challenges into predictable successes.

If you're stuck working in the business, this is for you. Let's be honest... 1. You're juggling client delivery and sales 2. You have no time to document anything 3. You're hiring, but still doing all the work 4. You're burned out, but can't stop 5. You fear losing control 6. You're not sure what to delegate This leads to stagnation. Eventually, you'll either burn out or plateau. Here's how to shift: 1. Build your offer like a product 2. Audit your time brutally 3. Delegate outcomes, not tasks You can escape the cycle. But only if you're intentional. Don't quit. What’s the #1 thing you’d delegate today if you could? --- Tired of spinning your wheels solo? Inside my free Skool group, we break the “doing it all” cycle with proven delegation systems and scalable offers. Join us here → https://lnkd.in/gxJCmfPs
Most entrepreneurs think they need to create all the systems. You don’t. What you need is ownership from your team. Why? - It makes the systems actually usable - It shifts responsibility - It gets you out of the weeds Here’s my approach: - Show your team the output standard - Train them to get that output consistently - Let them document the system Why this works: They become system evangelists. Don’t build it all yourself. Build the expectation of ownership. Are you still building your own SOPs? Stop that.
Want to build a truly profitable business? Start here: 1. Learn how debt creates money. 2. Study your profit & loss monthly. 3. Separate business and personal expenses. 4. Understand the difference between assets vs. liabilities. 5. Use debt to increase productivity, not pleasure. 6. Lower your need for high personal income. 7. Build systems that turn revenue into retained profit. Mastering these 7 principles = long-term wealth. Sustainable businesses aren’t built on hype. They’re built on systems. P.S. Which of these 7 are you already doing? Which do you need to start?
Most founders think their biggest constraint is time. It’s not. It’s dependency on their own time. Want to scale? Ask these 4 questions: 1. What’s your actual offer? 2. Can someone else deliver it? 3. What part of it is repeatable? 4. What tasks can you eliminate? If you can’t answer those, you don’t have a business - you have a job with overhead. Here’s where I break it all down inside Skool: https://lnkd.in/gxJCmfPs Which question hit hardest?
I created my most important framework out of necessity. My parents' business suffered not because they didn’t work hard but because they didn’t manage money well. The real problem? Not understanding how debt, cashflow, and profit interact. So I learned. I tested. I built a system. In other words... If you're in business, you must become a "money person." Learn how to read your numbers. Master flow. Build leverage. Are you tracking your profit every month? Or avoiding it?
If you’re still stuck working in your business, here are 6 things you can do this quarter to change that: 1. Systematize your offer delivery 2. Track your time for 7 straight days 3. Categorize each task by ROI (use $10/hr to $100k/hr scale) 4. Delete or delegate anything below your average hourly rate 5. Let your team build the systems for what remains 6. Separate your salary from your lifestyle needs Do this for 90 days, and you’ll be in a very different place.
If you’re running a business, read this: 1. Revenue is coming in, but there’s nothing left over. 2. You’re paying yourself, but the business is struggling. 3. You want to grow, but personal spending is draining the company. 4. You fear taxes more than you value profit. 5. You’re scaling without systems. 6. You’re rich on paper, but broke in reality. This is the pattern of most entrepreneurs. And it's why most businesses fail. Here's how to flip the script: 1. Lower your personal expenses. Fast. 2. Build financial systems that work. 3. Shift your income from earned to unearned. Your business doesn’t just need more marketing. It needs better money management. P.S. Which one of these hit a nerve? Let me know.
The 5 silent killers of business freedom: 1) Vague offers 2) No delegation process 3) Living off salary, not profit 4) Fear of giving up control 5) Lack of time audits How to overcome them: 1) Productize your offer 2) Document & delegate outcomes 3) Lower lifestyle expenses 4) Train team to write SOPs 5) Log how you use your time Remember... No company ever scaled without systems. You’re just one system away from stepping back. Your freedom is built, not given. Which silent killer are you facing in your business?
I used to work 90+ hour weeks just to keep my business growing. Today, I help companies install systems that grow without them. The irony? My clients were scaling to 7-figures... and I was stuck in a business that only grew when I did more work. Until one night, after a particularly frustrating client call, I stayed late at the office, ordered pizza, and committed to staying at the office until I figured it out. - Why could they grow and I couldn’t? - Why did adding clients make my business harder? - Why did they have leverage and I didn’t? - What was their secret? - What was I missing? Answer: They had a flywheel. I didn’t. I learned that systems can either amplify your effort or rob your growth. And that night, I decided to rebuild everything. "Your growth isn’t based on effort. It’s based on alignment." What's the biggest shift you've made in how you work?
I used to think systems were the answer. Today, I know it's who creates them that matters. I built entire workflows, hired people, trained them... then watched them bypass my systems the moment things got tricky. Until I flipped the approach: 1) Delegate the outcome, not the steps 2) Have team members document their own process 3) Make them the evangelists of their own systems 4) Reward results, not just compliance 5) Align their incentives with business goals Key lesson: People value what they create. Not what you hand them. So if you want scalable systems? Let your team build them. "System owners" build better systems than "system followers." Have you ever seen a system completely ignored? What happened next? --- The best systems aren’t imposed. They’re co-created. Inside my free Skool group, I share exactly how to make that happen in your business. Join 👉 : https://lnkd.in/gxJCmfPs
7 Core Financial Truths That Changed How I Run My Business 1) Money is created through debt. Understand it, and you unlock leverage. 2) Most business owners avoid financials - that avoidance is costing them growth. 3) Your profit & loss statement tells a story. Learn to read it. 4) Personal expenses directly impact business growth. Don’t ignore them. 5) You can own a profitable business and still go broke if you mishandle net profit. 6) There’s a difference between being rich and being wealthy. Wealthy people buy assets. 7) If you want true leverage, stop working in the business and start working on your finances. Bonus: Understand the difference between earned income and unearned income to gain freedom in your business. P.S. Which of these 7 hit hardest for you?
I started my business to buy back my time, not just build revenue. Legacy isn’t built from hustle. It’s built from leverage. Here’s what I’m building: 1. A business that thrives without me (offer → systemized) 2. A team that doesn’t need me to micromanage 3. A business that generates ongoing income whether I'm working or not Most important of all? Time with my family - because that was the reason I started all this in the first place. I don’t measure my success by top-line numbers or titles. I measure it in freedom. Use the comments to share the #1 outcome you're building toward. ♻️
I used to think any business growth meant I was making progress. Now I know real progress is measured by what you keep — not just what you earn. Funny story: I once hired an accountant who told me, "You should spend more so you don’t pay taxes." That advice cost me growth. Here’s what I do instead: 1. Track profit monthly. 2. Avoid unnecessary expenses. 3. Delay gratification. 4. Make a tax plan and follow it. 5. Reinvest profits into income-producing assets. Key lesson... Don't spend $100 to avoid $30 in taxes. Keep the $70. Use it to build wealth. "Net profit isn’t vanity. It’s freedom." P.S. Ever been told to spend more to save on taxes without a tax plan? Did you do it?
I wouldn’t hire someone full-time right away. (That’s a mistake I’ve made too many times) Hiring too early is expensive and chaotic. Instead, now I ask: - Can this be handled by AI? - Can a part-time person manage this? - Can the SOP be created before the hire? My delegation plan: 1. List out all recurring tasks 2. Assign a dollar value to each one 3. Start deleting low-value items 4. Delegate to AI first 5. Hire only when necessary Your first hire probably shouldn’t be a full-time job. It should be a role with a clear output. Outcomes > hours. What was the first role you ever hired someone for? --- If this post got you thinking differently about hiring...
