3 Value Bombs
1) A big key to success is not as sexy as a lot of gurus out there talk about. Think about operational excellence, turning your business into a machine that can thrive without you. If you take that perspective, it’s going to lead to a very healthy business.
2) Make the strategic decisions on how you’re going to be different, how you’re going to solve real problems, and who your customer is. It will make your entrepreneur life much easier.
3) Systems make things much more repeatable, consistent, and not reliant on you.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to Create a 7-Figure Business Without Working 60+ Hour Work Weeks with Austin Netzley
[1:05] – Austin shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Operational excellence is not as sexy as sales and marketing, but it’s your real money maker as an entrepreneur.
[3:03] – The difference between $100k-$200k businesses and a 7-figure business.
- There’s a big difference between the mentality of someone doing $150k and $2 million per year.
- The strategy is the 80-20 of growth. Get your strategy right with true product-market fit. Then it’s narrow, focused, strategic, and built to scale – without you and your time. That’s when scaling your business will be easy.
6:-08 – Growing the business without having to work 60-80 hours a week.
- Most things that people are working on aren’t really driving results.
- Turn your business into a machine by leveraging systems.
- Your biggest job is to learn what is working and what is not, cut out and change what is not, and double down and grow what is working.
[8:50] – What’s the best way for entrepreneurs to leverage the systems they are building so they can still scale?
- Everything in your business should be a system. If you record a system around a particular thing, you can easily delegate it to somebody else.
- Systems make things much more repeatable, consistent, and not reliant on you.
