An entrepreneur shares his path to a million-dollar month, which took five to six years and required finding the right partner. He argues that scaling to seven and eight figures demands more than passion and skill: you need people whose strengths cover what you lack.
It took me about 5 to 6 years from when I first started in business and, you know, working for myself until we actually like hit that million-dollar month. So in the beginning, I was actually working for free. I had a few different partners that led me to eventually partnering with one partner right now. And we clicked. So I think the biggest thing, one of the biggest lessons I'd like to speak about is definitely finding the right partner that is complementary to your strengths. Because I don't think everybody's born with The strength of being able to do everything inside of a business, especially when you want to grow it, you know, to 7-figure and 8-figure run rates on an annual basis. It takes a lot. It takes a team. It's not just you. A lot of people are focused on themselves and having the right product. I think it really comes down to you definitely have to have the right product. You have to have the passion and the skill set, but also finding people that complement what your skill set is to get to those, those big months.
