Growing Beyond the Seven Figure Revenue Plateau, with Brett Gilliland

What You Will Learn:

·        Why more sales and more customers isn’t how you grow the business, but rather how you finance your future growth

·        Why only 3-5% of businesses make it to seven figures in revenue, and why your strategy has to change once you reach the $1 million revenue plateau

·        Why you must make a transition from entrepreneur to CEO, and why seven figure businesses grow one person at a time rather than one sale at a time

·        How hiring the right new team members and cultivating the team members you already have is the secret to continued growth after you hit a revenue plateau

·        Why you must push yourself as a leader to learn and grow so that you avoid becoming the bottleneck in your company’s growth

·        What steps to follow to help you determine when to grow your team and which key roles you need to fill, by envisioning your “org chart of the future”

·        How to determine a “healthy revenue per employee” metric to help you determine when to bring in new employees

·        Why you should meet with your direct reports for 30 minutes each week to check their performance and develop their growth, and why you should have a quarterly review and planning team meeting

·        Why you should listen to the future interview with Noah Gottlieb in episode 96 of the Elite Entrepreneurs podcast
