The sixth and final episode in the 5 Gears series, today’s episode focuses on the Strategic Growth Gear. This episode looks a little different from others in the series because strategic growth is not just about building other systems or how to optimize other systems — it's about really understanding when and how to expand your impact.

You’ll learn the four distinct paths of growth:

  1. Internal – Strengthening what you already have. This can look like creating leadership pipelines or enhancing your current programs. 
  2. External – Your traditional market expansion. It includes opening up new locations, expanding to new neighborhoods, and creating pop-up programs.
  3. Vertical – Increasing your depth of impact. This is about adding advanced programs and extending your services.
  4. Horizontal – Broadening your impact through new revenue streams. It could be creating new training programs, developing new educational materials, or taking things that you've done and actually writing curriculum books.

💡Important → Choosing the wrong path is not just ineffective. It can actually destabilize every single thing that you've built.
