About this episode

Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here. I am your #70secondCEO and the author of The 7 Stage Growth Method. Just a little bit more than a one-minute investment each day for a lifetime of results. Are we ranking your business on the 7 Stage Growth model, OK? Stage 6, give yourself a ranking on a scale of 1 to 10. This is the Stage of Scalability. Remember Stage 3, when you're building your implementation team? Now you're building your management team, OK? You need to have in place a consistent resource for a lead generator: Your chief marketing or lead generation officer Your VP of sales Your director of operations who handles all things fulfillment At a minimum, that's got to be your management team. To what degree do you have those three in place, and are they running day-to-day operations so you don't have to be there and can start maximizing the salability of your business? Also, you need to be cash flow positive each month and have enough buying power to take advantage of an opportunity if it presents itself. Give yourself a rank. Huh? That's a 1, 10, NAILED IT! Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.
