See if this feels familiar:

Your company grew fast… and then growth stalled. Revenue has plateaued, the team is busy, and despite constant decisions, the ceiling is not moving.

You've tried endless frameworks, consultants, and strategy sessions. Some things improve temporarily, but a few months later, the same problems return in a different form.

You're still the person following up on everything. The team executes when you're watching and drifts when you're not. Instead of leading the business, you're holding it together.

The strategy you built at the start of the year no longer matches the market you're operating in now. Costs are up, conditions have changed, and the second half of the year requires a different level of clarity.

AI is reshaping your industry, but most advice feels either too vague or too technical to implement in a real company.

Deep down, you know the issue is structural. You just cannot clearly identify the constraint that's actually slowing growth.

If any of this resonates, remember that you are not behind. What's simply missing is a clear framework for naming the constraint and addressing it in the right order, without starting over.


Most CEOs assume they need a better strategy, a bigger team, or more capital. But after 30+ years of Scaling Up coaching, the pattern is clear: companies break through the $2M–$20M ceiling by improving the operating system underneath the business, not by adding more complexity.


In this free live series, Daniel Marcos and other thought leaders will show you the key decisions and hidden constraints that determine whether a company scales or stalls.

September 9 at 10 AM CT · Scale Up Faster: How the Top 1% of Bootstrapped Companies Grew 149% a Year — In Any Economy with Pete Martin

Pete Martin is a six-time founder and the author of the best-selling book, Scale Up Faster (foreword by Verne Harnish), based on a three-year study of the 324 fastest-growing bootstrapped companies in America — the top 1% of the Inc. 5000.

After studying the 324 top-performing bootstrapped companies on the Inc. 5000 — companies that grew 149% per year entirely on internally generated cash, with zero outside capital — Pete reverse-engineered the 5 pillars they all shared and turned them into a practical operating system called Bootscaling™.


In this live session, Pete reveals what the research actually found: how these companies financed growth by collecting cash before they spent it, why turbulent economies are exactly when the bootstrapped playbook wins, and why most stuck companies are trying to fix what's broken when they should be installing what's missing.

Daniel Marcos
CEO & Co-Founder | Growth Institute

Daniel Marcos is the CEO of Growth Institute and one of the leading practitioners of the Scaling Up methodology developed by Verne Harnish. For over a decade, he has coached growth-stage CEOs and leadership teams across more than 20 countries, working specifically with companies in the $2M to $50M revenue range who are hitting the ceilings this series is built around.

Daniel is a graduate of MIT's Birthing of Giants program and has worked directly with Verne Harnish to bring the Scaling Up framework to more than 3,800 entrepreneurs through Growth Institute's certified programs. He doesn't teach theory. He coaches the specific decisions, rhythms, and structures that determine whether a company scales or plateaus, and he's done it long enough to recognise the patterns.

This series is free. It's live. And it's built specifically for the stage of company you're running right now.
