"How" is overrated. It's all about the "WHO". Business success isn't about tactics. It's about people. The biggest leaps I've made? All thanks to hiring the right coaches, advisors, and employees. Last year, we invested over $100K in coaching alone. And let me tell you, it was worth every penny. Our CFO partners, TWYIO, are a brilliant example. He's not just a numbers guy. He's a strategic partner who helps us make smarter decisions about everything from pricing to hiring. He taught us: ↳ How to calculate our actual hourly rate. ↳ How to forecast growth without hiring a whole army of salespeople. ↳ Which clients are most profitable (so we can focus on getting MORE of them). Suddenly, our "growth plan" isn't just a vague wish list. It's a concrete roadmap with actionable steps and predictable outcomes. So, here's my advice: • Stop obsessing over tactics. ↳ Find the right people to guide you. • Invest in expertise. ↳ Coaches, advisors, a kick-ass CFO – they're worth their weight in gold. • Focus on the long game. ↳ Build a sustainable business model, not just a quick win. Remember, "how" is easy. "Who" is everything.
