Description

This time, Ryan tells you about the single greatest mistake that founders make when it comes to scale and growth, and how you can make sure you avoid it!
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Depending on where we are in our business's lifecycle, the problems we face on a day to day basis will be markedly different.
Once you have a product that you prove can be sold, you need to find a repeatable sales motion. Find something you can repeat over and over again.
Many founders can't even sell their own product and yet they try to assemble a team to do so. You have to have a product that not just you can sell, but others.

BEST MOMENTS
'The problems you have from zero to one million are different to the problems you have from one million to three million'
'Test the hypothesis, prove the value, prove that it can be sold'
'Hit the gas and scale!'
