1. “Develop lifelong relationships with our employees and clients.”
2. “Reach $100M in annual revenue.”
ADVICE
“Don’t be afraid. The sooner we were able to get out of the way of our fears, the sooner we grew. And we continue to see this pattern over and over.”
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT
Luckiest Moment
“A Fortune 500 client, our largest client at Disruptive, heard us on an itzy bitzy, teenie-weenie podcast that like five people in the world listen to. This one client represents several million dollars in revenue for us a year now.”
Unluckiest Moment
“A big construction crane broke and fell on Disruptive’s office, putting us in a fun situation for a bit. :)”
Make Your Own Luck
“Test. Test. Test. Eventually you’ll find something that sticks that will lead to your big break.”
