Remember back to 2022? What’s changed since then? 

Whatever comes to mind, some things have remained the same:

  • Business leaders need as much specialist support as they can get if they want to focus and grow their business faster (and sustainably).
  • Successful entrepreneurs know the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose.

So now’s the ideal time to revisit the 2022 podcast episode with Scaling Up founder Verne Harnish ahead of his 4-date speaking tour to the UK next month.

Learn about the one daily habit you need to adopt, how to transform your mindset and the metric leaders must protect to scale and purpose in 2025 by listening in below.

 

Is now the time to think big and grow?

Yes. Finding new avenues that make life better for everyone and stimulating all-important growth in the economy is still at the top of the agenda. But now the small business world is in a powerful position to bring back a sense of goodness, hope and purpose too.

‘Who survives is not the fittest, it’s the one who is most adaptable’

Adaptability is even more important than ever, and this includes being willing to get a coach on board to help. Once upon a time, coaching was about fixing problems but today, it’s the secret catalyst for fast-tracking success. We can’t know it all and we can’t go it alone.

Huddles get on top of small problems before they become big ones

How do you get ahead and grow your business faster in a challenging climate? Meet your people’s needs so they’re happy to give 110%.

How do you find out what those needs are? The huddle is the answer. How often should you check in? Daily. How do you make it quick and meaningful? Listen to the podcast to find out.

‘Think 10x. Even if you don’t hit it, you’ll think differently and that’s the point’

More about mindset than money (but of course you can make it about that if you want), think about what your life would look like if you were to 10x:

  • Time
  • Relationships
  • Purpose

You’d have:

  • More time
  • Less stress
  • More money
  • More fun

Even if you have no intention of selling your business, by 10xing its value you can impact the lives of so many people: customers, clients, staff, suppliers – the list is endless.

The point is that transformation at this scale doesn’t happen by increments. What does the 10x mindset look like in action? The podcast reveals all.

And finally

  • If you want to grow your business faster, pulse faster.
  • If you don’t want to grow broke, purpose and profit must scale together.
  • If you want your talent to excel, don’t manage them, coach them.
  • If you want to outsmart and outperform the competition, the OODA loop is your friend.

The difference between playing to win and playing not to lose? One key metric plays a key role – and you’ll need to listen in to find out what it is.
