Originally recorded as a Facebook Live and re-purposed here just for Into The Wild listeners, this episode will leave you with some clear and actionable steps you can take in your business to help lay the foundation for growth.

Most issues are internal issues, controllable to you, the founder, and not really much to do with outside factors. For example, blaming the pandemic for losing business which made you close your doors because YOU DID NOTHING about it, which is your fault. You can look at the situation as though it happened TO you or FOR you. It's up to you to decide.
This idea is tracked back to what Chris Zook calls the Growth Paradox where he explains that growth creates complexity and that complexity becomes the silent killer within your company.
