Are you an entrepreneur who's eager to scale your startup? Make sure you make these preparations first. An engaging discussion to identify 7 ways to scale your startup faster than your competition. Rising customer expectations, increasing competition, and digital disruption make it tough for entrepreneurs to grow their startup. According to the Startup Genome Project, over 90% of startups fail because they scale up too early. This means they take on too much, too soon. Entrepreneurs who are most successful at driving growth in their organizations are deliberate, persistent, and disciplined in the way they go about it. Most entrepreneurs have limited strategic expertise. While they’ve been extraordinarily successful with their past work, they’ve never acquired the required strategic mindset, skills, tools, and holistic view of their business position. They often become secretly overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do. They often get caught up micromanaging and firefighting killing the profitability, scalability, and performance of their business. This discussion identified 7 ways to outgrow your competition by building a bold but executable growth strategy, investing in the right growth opportunities, and ensuring your team is motivated to go the journey.
