In this week's episode Dan and Ian discuss the importance of the concept of Labor Efficiency Ratio (LER), to scale your business to a million dollars in revenue.

They highlight the challenge of transitioning from being a craftsperson to a CEO and the importance of building a profitable business model that can operate without the founder's constant involvement.

They continue this concept by focusing on the importance of financial planning and analysis (FP&A) in growing a business.
Having someone to provide structure and make data-driven decisions can lead to some shocking discoveries and help you identify areas for improvement and optimize your business performance.
The conversation concludes with a recap of the DC Mexico event and a call for referrals for future events!
