Most of us are creating businesses that tie us to a physical place and set hours. But oftentimes, the life we want to live doesn’t always align with the businesses we create. When I started ScaleSpark, I designed it from the ground up to be the kind of business that would give me the freedom and flexibility I wanted. I knew what my end game was so I built a business that reflected that.
Today my guest, Ryan Lazanis, talk about how he did the same thing.
Key Takeaways:
- What Ryan learned from his first company about creating a scalable company that can operate on maintenance mode
- The lessons he took with him from that first company and how it influenced how he built the second one
- How Ryan reverse-engineered his business to revolve around his ideal life
