E100 | 25 Questions every entrepreneur must answer (part 1)

For this special 100th episode, I’m joined by Andres Zylberberg and Richard Peake. We unpack the 25 questions every entrepreneur must answer. It is a framework designed to help business owners assess where growth is happening, where it is stalling, and what may be holding the business back.  In part one of this two-part series, we focus on two of the five disciplines in the Compounding Growth Scorecard: vision and strategy. From purpose, values and long-term goals through to customer problems, competitive advantage and measurable progress, the distinction becomes clear between having good intentions and building a business with real alignment. Good businesses do not grow by accident. They grow when leaders make deliberate choices, communicate them well and stay focused on what matters most.  Takeaways   Clarity in vision keeps everyone aligned and pulling in same direction.  Long term goals only matter if they turn into real priorities.  Purpose and values mean nothing unless they actually guide behaviour.  Strategy is about choosing what to do and what not.  Understanding your customer beats talking about what you sell every time.  Growth comes from doing the work, not just planning it.  One clear metric can bring a whole team together fast.  Real growth balances revenue, margins and the right kind of customers.  Watch the episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEvolutionPartners  Newsletter – each week I share interesting insights, articles and ideas you can use.
