Shownotes

In this episode, Andy Goldstrom of Midcourse Advisors joined us. He has a remarkable track record of building and exiting two Inc. 5,000 companies to Fortune 50 buyers.

Andy shares the powerful difference between mere growth and true scaling.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • What Andy’s first two fast-growth companies were and how they disrupted their industries.
  • The first cracks Andy typically sees in a company trying to scale too fast
  • Why focus is the absolute key to scaling, and how a lack of it causes business owners to spend money on fragmented marketing or adding new services when they have "holes in their current bucket".
  • How to build the "business muscle" for people who are great at their craft, but haven't been to business school.
  • The two things that often unlock significant growth
  • Andy’s three-part framework for success in business
