Episode notes
Growth Is A Defined Choice
- Growth is a broad, complex concept that requires clear definition and intention.
- If you are not moving forward and growing, Mark Richardson argues your business is likely declining.
Make Growth Specific And Measurable
- Do set a specific vision, goal, and monitoring tools to prevent typical New Year's resolution failure.
- Commit to concrete measures so your growth ambitions do not dissolve into vague intentions.
Better Beats Bigger
- Bigger is not inherently better; better is better according to Mark Richardson.
- Growth will be non-linear with peaks and valleys, so expect cycles rather than a straight line.
