First off, what is scale? Scale is purposeful. Growth can be organic and accidental at times, but scale, is intentional.
1. Be the “dumbest” person in the room
-
Surround yourself with smarter individuals.
-
Find your TRIBE.
-
Ask the right questions and crowdsource the answers.
-
Always remember to ask powerful questions, such as “HOW”?
2. Create habits & routines
-
“Goals without routines are wishes; routines without goals are aimless.”
-
The most successful owners have discipline and maintain habits & routines.
-
Routines set you free!
In the book, Scaling Up by Verne Harnish, we learn about utilizing the 4-D Framework to overcome obstacles and successfully grow your business.
The 4-Ds are as follows:
-
Driver- the implementation of habit, coaching, technology and continuous learning.
-
Demand- have clear standards on habits and processes.
-
Discipline- set priorities, gather quantitative and qualifiable data , and establish an effective rhythm.
-
Decisions- it sounds easy, but it’s difficult at times- make GOOD decisions! Keep the main thing, the MAIN thing.
