When working to build a successful business, gathering data on what works and what doesn't is the key (a.k.a. KPIs).  KPI's are score keeping markers to let you know how you're doing, and to learn the "rules" of the game.  Once you learn what matters and what doesn't, you can better measure and manage your inputs (activities), which leads to controlling your outputs (results).  In this episode, Steve breaks down how uncovering and controlling your KPI's is what leads to building leverage in your business via systems and processes.

Managing your team well is one of the most crucial aspects of scaling a business, but it's unfortunately also one of the most common things entrepreneurs screw up.  It's just a fact that most entrepreneurial people who are the type to take action and actually start a business, also aren't well suited to manage other people effectively.

When striving to get better at hiring, most people focus in on the “how”.  How to find good candidates, how to interview better, how to choose the right candidate, etc.  Although this is important, learning “who” (which role) and “when” (the timing) to hire is potentially more crucial to figure out.  In part 2 of this 5 part series on building successful teams, Steve covers why learning “who” and “when” to hire can create positive, game-changing momentum in your business.

There's an epidemic plaguing entreprenuers!  It's the leading reason 97% will never scale their revenue or escape the day to day grind, and even worse - why 80% of business owners will ultimately fail or quit.

In this first of a 5 part series, Steve covers the most important foundational step you must master.
