Building a growing, thriving, successful business isn’t a given. It won’t just fall out of the sky… you can’t just build it and the customers will come.
Over the years, I’ve made a few observations, my informal case study, into what makes for a successful business.
Mentioned in this episode:
- The crazy stats – few businesses make it to their 5 year anniversary & even fewer make it to their 10th anniversary and beyond.
- The 3 things that I’ve noticed among the successful businesses around me… what they do that others don’t do (or don’t do consistently).
