In this concise YouTube short, Bill Canady explains a simple framework for assessing a company's readiness to grow using a performance ratio metric. He states that a ratio below 2.5 indicates a firm has not yet earned the right to pursue growth. Ratios between 2.5 and 3.5 represent the healthy middle‑market band where most functional industrial and distribution businesses should operate. A ratio of 4.0 is portrayed as exceptional; when a company reaches this level, it should consider accelerating growth—"putting more gas on the engine"—especially if its operations are already running cleanly. The message is a clear, actionable call to use these ratio bands as a decision point for scaling efforts.
