    When running a business, ensuring smooth operations might be comparatively easy if you're just starting. You might be able to do everything up to a certain point. But as your company expands, hiring someone to help becomes necessary. And, if you want to break past the 3-million-dollar revenue, you need these five force multipliers to do it.

    In this episode, Sharran takes you behind the scenes of a private presentation to 37 CEOs on adding these five force multipliers into their business that will allow them to build, grow, and scale their time, effort, income, joy, and impact. 

    If you can add even one or two of these multipliers, it will dramatically improve the way you run your business. Tune in and discover what these five force multipliers are and where to find them. 

    “A lot of people would never get an admin expert because they don't feel like they deserve it or they don't feel like giving up control. And it's not a mechanical thing; it's a philosophical thing. Once you solve that, amazing things happen.”

    The Cost of Success

    The Cost of Success

    Click Here to Get All Podcast Show Notes!
    What do you really want to achieve in life? Are you willing to pay the price to get it? Do you understand the cost of success? 

    Sometimes, you get frustrated when you fail to achieve your version of success. But maybe it's because you have yet to fully understand that success means giving something up to get what you want. That's how you keep the "karmic balance" at work.

    In this episode, Sharran takes you behind the scenes of the three filters he uses to understand every single opportunity. Understanding these three things is the biggest difference between the rich and the rest, or those who are successful and those who are not. 

    Do you want to have anything in life? Then, make sure you fully understand that success has a cost, and it can be any of these things: Opportunity cost, capability cost, or unique ability cost. 

    “Success loves speed, and delay kills deals.”
