What does it actually take to grow a company from $1M to $50M in revenue? More importantly—what mistakes almost stop you from getting there?

In this episode, I break down the 7 biggest mistakes I made while scaling my companies to $50 million in revenue—mistakes that cost millions of dollars, lost clients, broken systems, and painful lessons.

From ignoring customer feedback and launching products too early… to hiring the wrong sales structure and overspending on things that didn’t produce ROI—these lessons reshaped how I build companies today.

If you're an entrepreneur, founder, or operator trying to scale past $1M, $10M, or beyond, this episode will help you avoid the exact traps that slow most businesses down.

You’ll learn why:
• Listening to your customers is the fastest path to innovation
• Partnerships can triple your growth overnight
• Launching products too early can destroy trust
• Generic marketing limits your brand and growth potential
• Client experience matters just as much as results
• Poor financial discipline can nearly bankrupt a fast-growing company
• Hiring salespeople without enough pipeline is a massive mistake

These lessons were learned the hard way—but if you apply them, they can dramatically accelerate your growth.

If your goal is to dominate your market in 2026 and beyond, this episode is a must-listen.
