Find advisers and mentors who have run and scaled small businesses. Talk to them casually and ask if they'd be willing to offer advice on occasion. That's how I did it, and I built to 15 employees while avoiding many (but not all!) of the common business basics blunders due to their assistance. If you find their advice valuable, you can even formalize a relationship with these advisers and provide a token number of warrants in exchange for a bigger time commitment. I'm always happy to help people get started so feel free to email me.
