A Weird Way to Scale Literally Any Business
Every business can scale if they just focus all of their attention on...
Every business is really just three things:
Sales.
Marketing.
Team.
Let me take you back to when I first stumbled upon this realization.
I was sitting in my room when I lived with my parents, staring at spreadsheets that seemed to stretch for miles.
I was overwhelmed, drowning in details, caught in a whirlwind of tasks that felt never-ending.
Can you relate?
It was during one of those long, caffeine-fueled nights that my mentor dropped a truth bomb on me:
“Zack, stop overcomplicating it.
At its core, every business just revolves around three elements.
Sales.
Marketing.
Team.”
Suddenly, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I was chasing too many shiny objects.
My brain was overloaded with the noise of what I thought I needed to grind harder at.
But the complexity?
It was just a mirage.
I realized that sales was my engine - the lifeblood of my business.
Every successful deal flow, every new client, came down to how effectively I communicated value.
Then there was marketing - the megaphone that shouted my message to the world.
Without a clear, compelling message, how could I expect anyone to notice?
And lastly, my team.
The unsung heroes rallying behind the vision, turning ideas into execution.
If I could align my focus on these three pillars, everything else would fall into place.
Business got easier.
I wasn’t losing sleep over things that didn’t matter.
More importantly, I started seeing real results.
So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed,
if you’re caught in the chaos,
remember:
Sales.
Marketing.
Team.
