Natalie Dawson, a celebrated entrepreneur, speaker, mentor and best-selling author, may have already “got the t-shirt” as a successful unstoppable force in the business world. Still, nothing can divert the development and alignment guru from what’s to come. Now setting her sights on giving back to dynamic founders, the co-founder and president of Cardone Ventures is here to take you behind the scenes into what conversations need to be made to transform your million-dollar business into a billion-dollar dream.
Before you build a billion-dollar company, you need to have a million-dollar business. This sounds right and also near impossible. Well, think again because Natalie Dawson, Co-Founder and President of Cardone Ventures, has your back.
To know the secret sauce behind success, we must understand how those who have “been, there, done that” think. But let’s be clear, getting there is no easy ride. Yes, it may have its ups and downs, but the essential thing that needs to happen is to continue moving forward.
People are taught, in business management, that when objectives aren’t met, we examine the strategy, question the implementation of tactics, analyze the procedures and systems and ask who didn’t do what they were supposed to do. But this is only useful if the prevailing mindset supports the strategy.
Instead, business owners should adopt a scale-up mindset. “There comes a time when you are so busy leaning into winning, and you’ve had some successes, you just start to think that all you’re gonna do is have success, and that’s not the case,” shares Dawson. “I remember there was a time when we had the worst team meeting after an unsuccessful month. But in the next quarter, we made up for the losses, and there was a sense of appreciation for winning.
“But we only won once more because we acknowledged our faults and took accountability for our actions, and as a leader, I laid it all out on the table for the team. From what we would do differently to what each individual needed to do to help move that process forward.”
Establishing a framework of what works and keeping your business running smoothly in the early years is vital to scaling a business because it forms a solid core. A foundation based on a mission and a vision are both essential tools that have all proven to be successful in the thinking process of millions before.
These lessons have all been taught by one powerhouse individual who eats, sleeps and dreams of development and alignment. So what does it look like peeking into the mind of a triumphant business mogul?
Well, Natalie Dawson’s successes speak for themselves. For years she has “used a unique blend of operational and financial skill sets to oversee eight-figure operating budgets by inspiring and aligning the people who drive them.”
With extensive experience uplifting others and a must-have scale-up mindset, Dawson has helped businesses grow 10 times more prominent than ever. By specializing in getting individuals, groups and large organizations unstuck, get ready to positively shift your company and everyone within it.
As a successful unstoppable force in the business world, Dawson is now setting her sights on giving back to dynamic ball-to-the-wall bosses, business leaders and CEOs alike. Her upcoming Building Billions podcast is set to bring the audience into real-life conversations about decision-making.
“The podcast intends to take people behind the scenes of what needs to happen as you build a billion-dollar business,” says Dawson. “In their case, it might be a $200 million or $20 million business, but I’m going to take you through this process over the next decade.”
This includes taking you through changing working processes and updating business owners on successful trends. Dawson answers questions on what things she appreciates right now and aims to dive into what team conversations or deal renegotiations you need to have.
She continues, “being able to build what we have done up until this point—to have 80 million in revenue in under four years, will be interesting for most people. Whether they have an $8 million business or an $18 million business, I can help.”
