Building a business to scale in order to provide a healthy exit usually means aiming for an 8-figure concern. But in order to get there, you have to have a clear plan for how to first get to the 7 figure mark. This is a period that can prove somewhat tricky...

In this episode, Nick talks you through the ways in which you can ensure that your business reaches that 7 figure milestone, in order to ensure that life-changing exit.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Six figures of revenue does not necessarily equal six figures of profit. You still have to sensible in terms of what you want the business to be so that you ultimately end up with what you want.
Momentum is important and drives the speed of your operations. But without scale, you are merely moving faster without moving forward.
Cash flow is vital. This relies on predictability of leads, predictability of sales, and from these two factors you get the predictability of cashflow.
Structure matters more than you might think. You should always build your company's structure around the strategy that you want to pursue.

BEST MOMENTS

'Building a 6 figure business is still awesome'

'We become entrepreneurs because we don't just want to hustle'

'You want to be in the situation where you have a business that allows you to have an amazing life'

'You've got to have the right pond with the right fish and the right bait'
