But once you've been in business for a good period of time, I say you're the "Forgotten Entrepreneur". 01:59 - The problem he helps solve: What happens when you get that, you hit the ceiling, and you think that just working harder and focusing more is the answer, and maybe you'll get incremental growth. But to really take the big leaps, you have to shift into a more scalable model. 02:52 - The symptoms of the problem: At that level, and we call this "phase three" in the Scale-Up method, we call it the "ringleader".
