  • EP7 Operational Superpowers From Startup to Stand Out: How to Master Operational Value Drivers for Business Success
    Apr 18 2024

    Every great business starts with a powerful founding vision and without operational mastery of the details that bring it to life and sustain its growth as it scales, even the best visions can be doomed to stagnation or failure. Today on Zero Limits Business Growth Secrets, entrepreneurs and investors Steve Little and Melinda Wittstock dive deep into the often overlooked yet vitally important operational value drivers critical to success. From the intricacies of a company's internal operations—finance, marketing, sales operations, and HR—to the critical importance of aligning vision, mission and values with operations, we explore the essential elements of operational mastery, including an activated team culture, and what these mean at any stage in the lifecycle of a business.

    🔑Key Takeaways🔑

    📈Understand Your Starting Point: Your company’s true value isn’t just about its financial bottom line. It comes down to the founder’s vision and operationalizing that vision. Learn the necessity of checking in regularly to ask yourself where you stand today relative to where you are going to define strengths, weaknesses and areas of growth.

    💎Align Vision with Operations: Why it's vital to ensure the path you’re walking is the one you envisioned and reflect on questions like, “what legacy do I want to leave?” and find hidden gems by looking deep inside to understand what you REALLY want.

    🤝Cultivate a Strong Team Aligned with Company Values: Why it's vital to make recruitment and hiring decisions based on character and culture not just skills, so your company’s day-to-day operations align with core values and vision. Plus, how any misalignment hinders success.

    Grab your headphones🎧—it's time to innovate, integrate, and initiate and turn what may seem mundane day-to-day operations into magic. And remember, in business as in life, it’s all about the journey.
