Growing and scaling your business is challenging for most companies. But what if someone lets you in on what you need to do to go from 7 figures to 8 figures? I'm sure you will jump at the opportunity.

In today's episode, Sharran takes you behind the scenes of a private workshop with an online influencer who wanted to reboot his business. After deconstructing the existing processes, identifying the problems, and implementing the solution, the company went from 7 to 8 figures in under 12 months.

Once you understand the strategy they implemented and integrate it into your process, it will make all the difference in the trajectory of your business. So make sure to listen, because this is a conversation that you won't hear anywhere else.

“There's a lot of dependence on the inbound; it's okay. But see if you can flip your inbound to outbound, and when you do that, the sky's the limit on the things that you can do.”
