Level Up?
with
Lara Hodgson of Now Corp
Are You Ready to Level Up?
Debunk the myth, the moonshot and the mistruth holding you back from scale
- The myth – “Scaling your business” is code for “stalking a unicorn”
- The moonshot – Success is a flashy exit
- The mistruth – Anyone can start a business. Not everyone can scale one.
The unintended consequence of mythologizing the entrepreneur’s journey? A full-stop barrier to innovation. No need to dismiss your growth ambitions just yet! There are countless ways to pursue scale beyond the “go big or bust” lie perpetuated in recent history. The growth mindset starts with clarity, endurance, and strategic resourcing. Join us and the esteemed Lara Hodgson, founder of NOW Corp. and Nourish, professional scaler of scalers at Harvard Business School, and co-author of Level Up: Rise Above the Hidden Forces Holding Your Business Back with Stacey Abrams, to untangle the untruths about scaling your business. Lara has made it her mission to help other entrepreneurs build their endurance for long-term business growth, as evidenced by her latest pursuit – NOWaccount, an essential stop-gap for every business owner with capital tied to receivables.
