ABOUT THIS VIDEO:

Scaling a business is a sexy topic, cleaning up the mess and paying back the debt from scaling is not.

This is a tricky thing to balance, most entrepreneurs get it wrong. If you don't grow fast, a competitor might overtake you —but— grow too fast and you'll make a mess and accumulate too much debt for the company to get out of.

Finding the perfect balance between these two extremes is an art-form that lies at the core of an entrepreneurs ability.

This video shows you how to think about scale, mess, debt, and how they're all parts of the same "growth cycle".

I share practical tips to handle these issues in your business today + share personal stories of the rollercoaster ride I've been on to date.

HERE'S WHAT WE COVER:

1. Scale, mess, and debt — how these are stages of the same "growth cycle" all businesses experience

2. Different types of debt: Financial, product (get's em all), process, talent, team, perception, time, detail

3. Debt occurs when: You choose a better today at the cost of tomorrow

4. Debt kills business: When you can't innovate because upkeep takes 100% of your time and energy you know your time is near

5. So what do you do? You must be conscious of all forms of debt, keep tally, and pay it back routinely

6. Gwoth often means taking 1-step backwards to make 3-steps forwards (short-term sacrifice for long-term gain)

7. Personal stories of growth, mess and debt cycles I've been through: 2016 boom, 2017 repair, 2018 boom, 2019 repair

8. My advice for you: Think long-term, consider upkeep, keep it simple, YAGNI (you ain't gunna need it)
