Tropical MBA: Entrepreneurship & Founder Lifestyle

#773 6 Keys to a Successful Bootstrapped Business

Listen Later

Dan & Ian get real about what it takes to create and maintain a successful business. They’ll walk you through their Goals/Plans/Systems (GPS) worksheet that’s specifically designed to help you plan for business growth. They use it with their coaching clients on a weekly basis.

Newsletter subscribers can download and complete their very own GPS worksheet.

Through completing this worksheet, you will:

  • Discover key insights about the state of your business that you probably didn’t realize before
  • Define clear goals for your business moving forward
  • Develop a plan based on your historical data and a cadence for tracking your progress regularly
    • Plus:
  • Ian talks about his cool and expensive hobby.
  • We talk about a founder who doesn’t take meetings and still has a profitable business.
  • We share some insight on how we managed our business during a crucial operational tipping point.
