Scale Up your Start Up

A person reached out to me 1 month ago:

Marcos, we are a 5-person startup, and it’s time to scale up our organization… because the money came in!

First, I said:

Congratulations!

Second, it was about working together on a proposal to scale up their organization.

We worked together in a couple of sessions, and she ended up with a growing plan that makes sense, based on their roadmap.

At some point, she told me:

Marcos, this is gold… this can help many people.

So, a tic happened: Why not provide the very same resources, already organized, to my readers?
