So this is a throwback episode of the things that limit entrepreneurs within the business.

And so if you think of each of these four, you might check off one or more of the boxes.

But big picture, it's you're not growing as fast as you want because you don't know that

something is possible, but it is.

Number two is that you might know that, but you don't know how to do something

in order to make it possible. Number three is you don't know how to get someone else to do that thing.

And then number four is you don't know how to get them themselves to do it. And so as in you

yourself. And so each of these situations can be a limiter and you can have more than one. And in this podcast,

I break down what to do about it. At acquisition.com, my private equity firm, we talked to

600 entrepreneurs doing over a million dollars a year every single month. And 300 of them are over

$3 million a year. And 100 of them are over $10 million a year. And so we talk to a lot of entrepreneurs

every day. And over time, we've developed kind of a rubric or framework for how we analyze the

skill of an entrepreneur. And so what I'm going to do today is break down how you can think

through yourself as an entrepreneur and the four elements that we look at to say how good of an entrepreneur this person is

and how much we're willing to bet on the fact that they're going to be successful.

And if you're the person who's going to be successful for yourself,

then it's about how do I increase the likelihood that I'm successful by looking through these four frameworks.

So every entrepreneur isn't successful because they don't know how to do one of four things.

They either don't know that something is possible altogether.

Number two, they don't know how to do something.

Three, they don't know how to get other people to do something.

And four, they don't know how to get themselves to do something.
