In this closing segment of the "Step 2" video, Bill Canady recaps a recent internal meeting that solidified the company’s growth target and the prerequisite of being ready to scale and pursue deals. He notes that the team left the meeting with a clear number, a set of ideas, and a timeline for the next phase—approximately 30‑45 days later—when they will develop the detailed strategy. Canady praises the team’s performance, signals excitement for the upcoming strategy‑focused video, and reminds viewers that he is the author of the ADC (Accelerated Decision Cycle). The monologue serves to reinforce the importance of clear targets, disciplined timelines, and team alignment as the business moves toward growth.

It got ourselves together and it focused us on what we had to do to get the business, one, to be ready to grow, and two, that in order to go do deals for us. So, it set us in a really good spot and we were pretty excited about that. So, we went into the meeting knowing what the number was. When we walked out of that meeting, we had agreed what the number was and everybody had ideas. Now, walking out of that meeting, we set the next stage, which was going to be I believe it was about, about 45 days later. It was just where the calendar was and holidays and things like that. But for you and for all of us, you typically want to do the next phase in somewhere around 30 days. And the next phase, as you'll remember, is to set the strategy. So on the next video I do, we'll talk about what we did to get the strategy from it. And I think you'll be excited about it. It was a really fun ride and the team did outstanding with it. So. Listen, so listen, thank you so much for listening today. Looking forward to doing the next one. Again, I'm Bill Canady, the author of the ADC.
