To Grow and Scale, Commitment Is Non-Negotiable

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

A lifestyle business, convenience and comfort will be the champion.

And so they'll come back, and they'll say, ah, this growth is uncomfortable. You need to be committed if you're going to grow and scale. It's one of the world's greatest challenges, and it's almost one of the world's greatest rewards.

If you can get a business to scale, you are unfairly and exponentially rewarded because you're in the top 4% of all businesses. You get the 10 million or more, you're less; it's less than 1% of businesses on the planet are over 10 million in US equivalent, $10 million. So you are unfairly rewarded if you get the $10 million or more and you know, you get market share, you don't always deserve and you get, you know, you get the benefit of the doubt when you don't always deserve, and you know, your brand kicks in and all those things, but you gotta be committed.

And there's, you know, it's a graveyard between one and 10 million because you've gotten to that point and you figure, okay, and I'm like, no, no, it's time to turn the jets on again. There's no jet back there. There wasn't before, but that was 20 years ago.

So it's, I do feel for business owners because they really, really thought they, once they got to a certain point, they can coast and they realize that you don't always have to work harder, but you do have to be more clever. You have to have intellectual property. Your how has to be as compelling as your why, you know, how you do things, your secret sauce, your differentiation.

There are elements that you need to put in place or you're simply another me to a business that can be ripped off way too easily.
