301 - The Million Dollar Myth

"I just hit a million dollars, let me show you how! " Is this an advertisement you've seen recently? The marketing tells you once you've hit that million dollar mark you've made it, you'll have the mansion, the exotic car and it will all be so easy. The perfect million dollar business is a myth. The reality is growth creates complexity.  When you hit a million dollars the demands to you for the business are off the charts.  Without systems and frameworks around you, it just gets harder. When you understand strategic planning and can build an infrastructure you don't have to stop at a million dollars.  You can keep going and make the impact you've always wanted to make on the world. Getting to a million dollars is a milestone, not a destination.
