Entrepreneurs know that business growth isn’t always on a high trajectory and sometimes, it takes more than forcing it upwards to really make it work. Erik Luhrs, also known as the Bruce Lee of revenue generation, talks to Meny Hoffman about working on both the internal and external factors to make a business work. Erik says that most of the time, people look at entrepreneurship as just making money, doing everything to get more sales and revenue but often times, people forget that you have to look from the inside-out. Starting from within, entrepreneurs must be able to pinpoint what caused their business to plateau and address it by doing things out of their routine.
