Channel Eye joins forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our new weekly column, ‘Ask the Business Coach’
Did you know that if you’re not growing, you’re actually going backwards?
When they think about growth, most business owners think about growing their revenue, growing their profitability, or increasing the number of employees in their business. But it’s more than that…you’ve got to grow just to be able to standstill.
Listen to this episode to find out why!
The big three takeaways!
- You have to grow just to be able to standstill.
- If you’re not growing as a leader, you will be behind the curve in your business. Businesses don’t grow on their own; leaders grow businesses.
- Your business growth and your personal growth are parallel pathways; you need to work on them together.
