For this special 100th episode, I’m joined by Andres Zylberberg and Richard Peake. We unpack the 25 questions every entrepreneur must answer. It is a framework designed to help business owners assess where growth is happening, where it is stalling, and what may be holding the business back. 

In part one of this two-part series, we focus on two of the five disciplines in the Compounding Growth Scorecard: vision and strategy. From purpose, values and long-term goals through to customer problems, competitive advantage and measurable progress, the distinction becomes clear between having good intentions and building a business with real alignment. Good businesses do not grow by accident. They grow when leaders make deliberate choices, communicate them well and stay focused on what matters most. 

Takeaways  

• Clarity in vision keeps everyone aligned and pulling in same direction. 
• Long term goals only matter if they turn into real priorities. 
• Purpose and values mean nothing unless they actually guide behaviour. 
• Strategy is about choosing what to do and what not. 
• Understanding your customer beats talking about what you sell every time. 
• Growth comes from doing the work, not just planning it. 
• One clear metric can bring a whole team together fast. 
• Real growth balances revenue, margins and the right kind of customers.
