Remaining inquisitive and agile becomes harder as your business scales…
But cultivating the right mindset will determine how successful your scale-up and exit will be…
✅ Become more contrarian. Adopt 'first principles' thinking when looking to solve business problems, not conventional wisdom.
✅ Celebrate small wins. Track and recognise progress to stay motivated and build momentum. Enjoy your journey.
✅ Seek external input. Learn from other industries and business models. Find inspiration in unexpected places. You never know it all.
Everyone (me included) talks about what’s required to scale a business towards a successful exit.
Not many people talk about the beginner’s mindset.
But developing a sense of ‘learned incompetence' and taking pleasure in the process pays dividends.
