In your next stage, growth stops being linear. And that is scary AF.
There are two people in Million Dollar Conspiracy experienceing that right now, and a group that has already been where they are.
In the early stages of business more in equals more out. More hours, more clients, more effort, more revenue, in a fairly straight line you can feel in control of.
Then, about 3 - 4 years in you hit a stage where that line breaks, and it's time to climb.
The next level is not a slightly bigger version of now. It is a completely different shape, bigger, longer, faster.
It means it is time to hire before you feel ready, to raise prices and lose some people on purpose, to step out of the work so you can actually lead it.
The moves that got you here stop working, and the ones that take you forward feel counterintuitive and risky, because they are.
You have to stick with it (I cannot say trust the process but that is my opinion on this stage). It is like walking through the starting gate all over again...but this time you have experience.
That is not a sign you are doing it wrong. It is the actual texture of levelling up, and nobody warns you it feels like this.
Those who make the jump are not the ones who felt ready. They are the ones who understood the ground was meant to move, and who had the right numbers and the right people around them while it did.
And when they did they found the crisp clean air filled with limitless possibility, and, dare I say, freedom.
What is the move you want to make but feel like it will take you backwards?
