Last week, a friend asked me to have lunch with his son, Joe.
Joe is 18, just finished school, and unsure of his next move.
Not one to turn down an aspiring Young Man Empire, I said yes.
Now, over lunch, Joe asked a good question with an instructive answer – about scale:
—-
“Charlie – If you were starting again what’s the one thing you would do differently?”
—-
Lots.
After all, hindsight is always 20/20.
However…
There is ONE thing that stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Truth is, it’s probably not what you think…
It has nothing to do with money.
It has nothing to do with marketing.
And it has nothing to do with strategy.
In fact, and as I told Joe, the power of this subtle difference was highlighted to me once again last month.
Let me explain…
It’s sunny, 33.5 degrees and I’m enrolled in a fitness boot camp at the beach.
There’s me, three women and six other men were who mad enough to sweat it out in the heat.
Now, as we get started, I find myself standing shoulder to shoulder with some young buck who’s barely scratching his twenties.
… And, B-O-O-M, right out of the gate, he hit the ground running – like a bull in a china shop.
… 63 press-ups in the first round, to my 26.
The second round was the same.
But then we hit the third round and he was goosed.
… Fatigued set in and his stamina dropped like a stone.
His count fell to 20…
I stayed consistent at 26.
As each round clocked in, he kept slipping further and further behind the pace.
… Until round nine when he finally threw in the towel.
Me, well, I kept consistently pressing on for another 10 more rounds.
Which left this old fart smug and the young kid with egg on his face.
And here’s the point of this email to today and the one thing I told Joe I’d do differently if I was to start all over again…
CONSISTENCY.
… And instead of wasting the first 5 years flitting from pillar to post…
I’d commit to a simple consistent course of action.
It comes back to the law of compounding and the fact that:
Simple Consistent Actions = Big Results Over Time.
… Especially as you scale.
Truth is, you have a little leeway up to the 200K-300K mark.
But past that, and as you push to 1M+ you best consistently stand and deliver…
… No matter the distraction or no matter the latest ‘shiny object’ being shilled online.
It’s how here, and in my two groups, men manage to consistently get results like this:
… Paul from N. Wales who scaled to 115k month for the first time ever with his small five-man team.
… John who scaled to 48k month with three employees in his irrigation business.
… and Steve who scaled to 76k month with just one other member of staff.
So if you want to scale to 1M+ without an army of employees, and you are willing to consistently do what needs to be done, then here’s what to do next.
