Listen Later

In this episode, Lori Young interviews Sarah Khan about the comparison trap in the online space and the difference between business growth and business scaling. They discuss the importance of being authentic in your business, the challenges of comparing yourself to others, and the need to focus on your own journey. Sarah also introduces her entrepreneurial growth hierarchy, which outlines the different stages of business development and the needs that must be met at each stage.

Key Takeaways:

  • Authenticity is key in the online space. Be yourself and speak from the heart.

  • Comparisonitis is common, but it's important to remember that everyone's journey is different.

  • Business growth involves adding more resources and revenue, while business scaling is about doing more with less.

  • Choose the business model that aligns with your strengths and goals.

  • The entrepreneurial growth hierarchy outlines the stages of business development and the needs that must be met at each stage.
