Recognizing his own limitations and accepting the reality that he cannot run the entirety of his business, Tim grew his company alongside with people who have the right mindset and the ability to execute his vision. Whereas most businesses measure their success with arbitrary numbers, Tim believes that growth comes from getting new clients that find value in what they are offering.

 

Today’s episode of the ACCESS Points Podcast is the second part of the topic “disciplined entrepreneur”. Tim and Davin will talk about the third element where most entrepreneurs burnout - Growing. They will go in depth on how their team at ACCESS managed the growing phase of their organization and discuss the problems that come along from the addiction of growth and expansion.

"It's not about how much we grow, I just want to make sure that we are growing because when you stop growing, then I feel like something's wrong. And so, it's not about the number to me. It's about, are we still doing the right things? Are we still finding new clients that find value in what we're doing?"
