Marquel Russell: How to Unlock the Secrets to Scaling Your Business
Dr. Marquel Russell is a former 9th-grade dropout turned multimillion-dollar business strategist and CEO of Strategic Scale Institute. He’s the creator of the Predictable Scale Flywheel™—a proven system that helps service-based entrepreneurs scale from six to eight figures by streamlining operations, automating marketing, and building high-performing teams. His strategies have helped over 3,000 clients generate more than $1 billion in revenue.
Marquel has built multiple 7-figure businesses and landed on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list. But for him, true success is freedom—working just four days a week, taking unplugged vacations each quarter, and celebrating Christmas abroad with his family. He lives what he teaches, using the same systems that have transformed his clients’ businesses and lives.
Through Strategic Scale Institute, Marquel empowers entrepreneurs to escape burnout and grow with intention. Whether they’re earning $30K or scaling past 7 figures, his Predictable Scale Flywheel™ turns businesses into self-sustaining, profit-generating machines.
