His Former Boss Later Became His Employee

from We Live to Build

What does it really take to break through a revenue plateau and build a business that outlasts your mistakes? In this episode, Ephraim Ebstein, an MSP entrepreneur who scaled past seven figures, shares the hard lessons he learned the long way. You will hear how developing financial literacy with the help of retired CEO mentors was the turning point that unstuck his business when it was trapped between seven and nine million dollars. Ephraim also breaks down why networking is never optional, showing you how a single spearfishing connection led to the job that taught him the entire industry and eventually the clients that made his company possible. And if you have ever wondered whether burning a bridge could cost you more than you think, his story of a former boss who later became his employee will make you rethink every professional relationship you have ever let go cold.──────────────────────────────────────────────────────📚 NETWORK BEFORE YOU NEED IT (6 LESSONS THAT MADE SEAN $15M)──────────────────────────────────────────────────────Get my brand new eBook free - https://welivetobuild.com/network──────────────────────📋 WORK WITH ME──────────────────────▶ Buy 300 Lessons From 300 Founders: https://welivetobuild.com/300-lessons-ebook▶ Sponsor the Channel: https://www.welivetobuild.com/sponsorship──────────────────────🔗 CONNECT WITH SEAN──────────────────────▶ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/seanweisbrot▶ Inquiries: [email protected]──────────🕐 CHAPTERS──────────00:00 - Networking: Love It or Hate It?00:22 - Flying to Events to Find the Right Rooms01:08 - The One Connection That Started Everything03:49 - Retired CEOs Roasted Ephraim on Financials06:21 - Pay to Be in the Right Places11:26 - Two Takeaways, Two Relationships Per Event13:17 - Intentional Networking Beats Hoping for Luck16:00 - Never Burn Bridges Because The World Is Small21:07 - Diversifying Investments to Weather Any Storm40:00 - The Principle Behind All of Ephraim's SuccessLeave a Review (it truly helps us grow): https://welivetobuild.com/review Hosted on Acast.
