6 Keys to a Successful Bootstrapped Business
Podcast 35:41 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes
Dan & Ian get real about what it takes to create and maintain a successful business. They’ll walk you through their Goals/Plans/Systems (GPS) worksheet that’s specifically designed to help you plan for business growth. They use it with their coaching clients on a weekly basis.
Newsletter subscribers can download and complete their very own GPS worksheet.
Through completing this worksheet, you will:
- Discover key insights about the state of your business that you probably didn’t realize before
- Define clear goals for your business moving forward
- Develop a plan based on your historical data and a cadence for tracking your progress regularly
Plus:
- Ian talks about his cool and expensive hobby.
- We talk about a founder who doesn’t take meetings and still has a profitable business.
- We share some insight on how we managed our business during a crucial operational tipping point.
