What You Need To Know To Scale To $1,000,000
Scaling a business to $1,000,000 is a major goal for many entrepreneurs. But the question I get asked most often is: "How do I actually break down my big goals into steps that I can achieve?"
Many business owners struggle with this question, especially when they're at $100,000 in revenue and looking for ways to increase their revenue.?
The short answer? It comes down to setting clear OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and Rocks, these two simple but powerful concepts that can guide you toward your first seven figures.
?? The Problem with Traditional Goal Setting
Too often, entrepreneurs set vague, high-level goals like “I want to hit $50,000 in three months,” without any real strategy for how to get there.
The problem is, when you don’t break your goals into actionable steps, you’re just hoping for results rather than planning for them.
That’s why OKRs and Rocks are so effective. They force you to reverse-engineer your goals, starting with your end vision and breaking it down into specific, measurable steps.
?? What Are OKRs and Rocks?
OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are your big-picture goals—what you want to achieve over the course of a year. These can be financial targets, specific milestones, or major business objectives.
Rocks are the actions or steps you need to take to reach those OKRs. Think of them as the building blocks that help you hit your targets.
For example, if your goal is to hire 50 people by the end of the year, that’s your OKR. But to achieve that, you’ll need to break it down. That’s where Rocks come in. In this case, you’d break your goal down into quarterly and monthly targets, maybe hiring 15 people per quarter, and 5 people per month. Then, you’d identify the specific steps (Rocks) needed to make those hires, like improving your recruiting process, sourcing talent from specific networks, or strengthening your HR team.
?? Reverse-Engineering Success
The key to OKRs and Rocks is reverse-engineering. You start with the big goal (your OKR), and then break it down into smaller, achievable actions (your Rocks).
Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the end goal, you now have a clear path, and you can track your progress month by month, quarter by quarter. This method keeps you accountable and helps you adjust along the way, ensuring that your day-to-day work is always aligned with your long-term objectives.
?? Why This Will Transform Your Business
Once I started applying OKRs and Rocks, my business changed. I went from chasing vague goals to following a clear roadmap. Every member of my team knew exactly what they needed to do, and we were all aligned. No more guesswork, no more wondering what to focus on next.
This clarity not only helped us scale, but it also helped us stay consistent. And consistency is key when you're trying to grow.
The Bottom Line
If you’re an agency owner, business consultant, or entrepreneur trying to scale to $1,000,000, the path forward is simpler than you think: start using OKRs and Rocks. They’ll give you the structure and accountability you need to hit your biggest goals.
Remember, success doesn’t come from setting vague targets. It comes from reverse-engineering your goals and taking consistent, measurable steps to achieve them.
