Johann Nogueira, How to Grow and Scale Your Business Into an Empire – InnovaBuzz 341
Johann Nogueira, Business Authorities
In this episode, I’m really excited to have as my guest, Johann Nogueira of Business Authorities. Johann has spent his entire career solving problems and fixing businesses. He discovered the power of systemization and leverage in his early 20’s, where he built his first e-commerce business. This knowledge allowed him to grow not only his business but his clients as well. One of his latest businesses has reached a valuation of 8 figures in 2.5 years.
Johann has significantly increased the bottom lines of over 1,000 clients in more than 40 industries worldwide. He does this with a focus on technology and utilizing the systems he has built over the last two decades.
In our discussion, Johann and I talked about:
- The importance of selecting the right people to work with
- Building an “empire” by asking “What else can I acquire that serves my dream clients?”
- How you can win by sharing your ideas
Fabien Pataud in episode 308 introduced us to Johann.

- Create a brand that will attract the right people. Think about what is important to them.
- There are a lot of little nuances that come with a brand.
- Make sure that all of your marketing collateral and sales presentations are focused on the people you serve. Nobody cares about what you do. What they do care about are the problems that you solve for them.
- Scale your business by creating policies, systems, and procedures that you could replicate not just within your team but by any team across your region, country, or overseas.
- Amplify your tribe. Go into businesses that already have access to the databases.

- An empire means different things to different people.
- There’s no sense making a lot of money if you’re not going to create an impact with it.
- Anybody who says money doesn’t make you happy has literally not given enough away.

- Mindset is 80% of success. It is the first step in the Business Authorities Formula. Mindset is what makes your mind right. When your mind is right and you know exactly what you want, you can get there much quicker.
- People who have a rich mindset talk about their ideas all the time, because they know that by talking about it more and more, they can take it into reality.
- Ideas are like opinions. Everybody has one, but it takes a lot of energy, effort, and resources to turn an idea into reality. By connecting with the right people and by talking about it, you will automatically attract the right people who can help you turn that idea into reality.
- Mindset is super important. You need to get it right. Once you have the vision, you become unstoppable.
