“It’s very important to have a direction in mind when you’re growing your business.”
-Pete Williams
On this week’s episode, I talk with international business award winner and author Pete Williams about effective business growth. Pete’s new book Cadence: A Tale of Fast Business Growth outlines how you can grow your business quickly and easily, by working on 7 key areas alone. Those 7 key areas are so important, that you can double your profit if you only increase each area by 10%!
We begin our discussion by talking about some of the biggest mistakes or challenges business owners face when they are attempting to expand. Pete states that many business owners go to work every day and complete the same tasks, with no framework or blueprint for where their business is headed. This is extremely detrimental to the growth of any business, as planning is key.
Pete elaborates, saying, “Most people feel that they are in a rut…they are spending all their time delivering the product and not just working on the business.”
