Q & A
What are the first four key stages of building a business according to Daniel?
-The first four key stages are chaos, concept, audience, and offer/sales. You need to develop a strong concept, validate it, build an engaged audience, construct a sellable offer, and focus on predictable sales.
What metrics should you measure every week once you establish sales?
-Once sales are established, you should measure your pipeline every week - how many leads, appointments, presentations given, and closed sales. This establishes a rhythm to drive growth.
Why is it important to have a key person of influence as you scale a business?
-A key person of influence embodies the brand, engages bigger audiences, publishes content, raises the company's profile, and leads growth initiatives. This allows the operations team to keep things running smoothly.
What is the goal when you reach about 8-10 employees?
-The goal at 8-10 employees is to raise revenue per employee. Add digital assets and systems to increase productivity and revenue per person. This allows you to later add more people successfully.
Why is scaling from 12 to 30 employees so challenging?
-12-30 employees is very difficult because you're too big to be small but too small to put proper systems in place. Many early employees have to transition out, and specialized professionals need to come in to transform the capabilities.
What advice does Daniel have for people not suited to the 0-2 million stage?
-There is still great wealth to be created in taking a business from 2 million to 20 million or more. Many baby boomer business owners also want to retire and would welcome someone to take over their 1-2 million business and scale it up.
What did Jack role model when he brought in a lighting expert for his podcast?
-Jack role modeled humility in admitting there was more he could learn despite his major success already. He also showed that winning (having the best podcast) is more important than ego (insisting he knows lighting best).
What's the difference between an underling and an overing when building a team?
-An underling is someone not as capable as you, while an overing is someone much more skilled than you at something. Great leaders bring on overings across areas where they personally lack capability.
What are the two biggest global opportunities Daniel sees right now?
-Two huge opportunities are: 1) Scaling businesses from 2-20 million+ as boomers retire, and 2) Taking over small 1-2 million businesses from retiring owners and bringing them back to peak revenue.
What metaphor does Daniel use for the role of a leader?
-Daniel sees a leader like the conductor of an orchestra - not necessarily the best player of any instrument, but able to bring together elite talent across instruments to create something beautiful.
