I am thrilled to be speaking with Daniel Marcos on the What’s Next! Podcast!     THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… entrepreneurs interested in starting a company and small and mid-size businesses looking to grow and scale successfully.    TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… Growth is not easy. It does not come without sacrifice. So, most important when it comes to growth, is reaching the decision to grow, and reaching it after careful consideration. More companies have died from excessive opportunities than the lack thereof, so it behooves leaders and organizations to set their objectives thoughtfully, be disciplined, and scale their mindset adequately. Daniel breaks down the 4 main stages of growth, and the biggest challenges to be found in each.     WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… speaking with anyone who is maniacally focused on growth and can get us thinking critically and intentionally about growth, scaling, and continued success.    Running time: 34:33  Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn    Find Daniel on social:  Twitter  Instagram   LinkedIn    Growth Institute Website:  Growth Institute    Daniel’s Book:  Start-Up to Scale-Up
