Starting a company is a lot like starting a car. You need a lot of energy.  To get moving, you need to be in first gear.

In a car, you can go from zero to 20 mph in just a few seconds.

In business, you can go from zero to your first million in just a few years … or months. It can be exhilarating … making progress, closing sales, building a team … you did it!

Everyone is working at a frantic pace. The business is at redline. It is literally impossible to work harder and you wonder if you can even keep up the current pace.

You realize that taking your business to the next level requires a shift … in strategy, in operations, in sales and marketing … all at the same time. Fear sets in, because shifting gears is risky. What if we stall the business? What if people resist the change and the organization gets all herky-jerky?

Building a high-performance organization is really hard; especially when you are running at redline. Bringing in the right outside advisor is a great way to ensure that the shift is successful.

The Shift Points blog is designed for Fast Lane leaders who want to leave their competitors in the dust.
