Meet your instructor: best known for co-founding the largest hosting provider in Singapore and self-made millionaire, Alvin Poh. Alvin opens with his early experiences that shaped his entrepreneurship journey, and explains how he came about to finding his true purpose.
Started from the bottom, Alvin talks about the painstaking years of trial-and-error lessons, distractions, and focus that eventually led him to turnaround his business—which he sold for $30 million at just the age of 33.
Scaling is hard. Here’s how Alvin did it. Alvin draws on his experience to discuss 7 critical reasons as to why most entrepreneurs fail, unknowingly self-sabotaging and hurting their business.
Alvin outlines the relevance of a sellable business and defines what scaling is—and what it is not. He cautions entrepreneurs of the burnt out when driving growth instead of scale.
In this lesson, find out if your business has the capacity to scale. Learn how to replicate Alvin’s systems and infrastructure so as to increase the productivity and efficiency of your business.
Alvin introduces the distinctive CEO mindset, which he uses to guide many of his decisions in scaling his business. He believes entrepreneurs of small businesses remain stuck because they often get in their own way.
If your business is not operating at its full capacity to maximise performance, Alvin believes that you have not identified what is hindering growth Here, he shares his framework for overcoming these issues to scale faster.
The path to scale is often filled with confusion and self-doubt. In the early days, this was no different for Alvin. He later describes how he validates his business vision, which quickly became the spark for his success.
Great businesses have great leaders. Behind the success is how Alvin sets the tone and rallies his team with a compelling vision. The end result is that everyone works towards a common goal with passion and purpose.
Alvin opens up about fostering a company identity and culture. He describes his hiring philosophy to retain and attract the right talents who will help take your business to the next level.
Now that you assembled your team, but how do you get the most out of them? Alvin shares three areas to take note if you want to get things done and running at a high standard—without micro-managing all the time.
