Why Working Harder is NOT the Key to Scaling Your Business w/ Mark Jacobs

With over 20 years of experience in executive leadership consulting, Mark Jacobs gathered his knowledge and opened his own company, Scalewerks. Scalewerks is a holding company that focuses on accelerating businesses that are in their early or mid-life. In this episode, Mark gives us a quick rundown on how the Scalewerks process works using 4 quick bucket items; 1st working hard, 2nd creating process, 3rd customer value/experience, 4th redesign of the business model.

Mark comes from the quality management world, so naturally, process is important to him. At the age of 26, Mark found himself in a meeting with his last employer, Motorola, where he thought to himself if this is really the direction this company was headed? Wanting to offer more to business, Mark finally broke away to become an entrepreneur.
