So I sat down with my CEO coach Eric Partaker, who's helped over 500 founders scale, and let him walk me through what it would actually take to grow our business from $5 million a year to $50 million. The numbers were not what I expected, and the framework works for pretty much any goal you've been quietly writing off. Hope you enjoy xx 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO - Eric Partaker: @EricPartaker1 📗 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy: https://geni.us/10xeasier-ali 📘 What Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith: https://geni.us/whatgotyouhere-ali - Astro Teller's Wired piece, "10X Is Easier Than 10 Percent": https://www.wired.com/2013/02/moonshots-matter-heres-how-to-make-them-happen/ - The step-by-step plan to a $1M business: https://youtu.be/rDrw3kkqKac ⌚️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:46 Step 1: That's Not Realistic 5:10 Step 2: The 10x Question 9:10 Step 3: Confronting the 10x Goal 14:24 Step 4: Opening the Black Box 17:41 Running the numbers 23:05 The 3172 method 27:32 Step 5: The Execution 28:37 Business: Elevate 30:28 Business: Eliminate 33:17 Business: Execute 36:10 Leadership 41:11 Self: Elevate 42:43 Self: Eliminate 46:30 Self: Execute 48:52 What to fix first PS: I donate 10% of my income to charity every year.
