Last month, Kwedar & Co. founder Lauren Kwedar Cockerell got to hear Dr. Benjamin Hardy speak at an EO Fort Worth event, and then promptly became, in her words, "the human embodiment of the π€― emoji."
His new book, The Science of Scaling (co-authored with Blake Erickson), is now on the reading list, and it's not a comfortable read. It asks hard questions: What are you dragging around that's keeping you from your future? What are you saying yes to that needs to go? What needs to be pruned so the rest can grow stronger?
The central idea: stop using the past as your benchmark. Use a big, impossible goal with a short timeline instead β and let it force you to reimagine what your business can actually become.
For any B2B leader who suspects they've been playing small, this one's worth your time.
