How do you go from zero to nine figures across three brands and 400 employees? Steve Harward, founder and CEO of Prime Corporate Services, did exactly that. And in this episode he reveals the counterintuitive philosophy behind it: radical generosity, deep listening, and the willingness to let go. Steve gets beautifully real about the moment he finally stepped away from running support emails and doing payroll at $22 million in revenue, and what happened to the business when he did. We go deep on how giving without expectation has generated some of his biggest partnerships, and why listening for what he calls the \u201cheart spark moment\u201d in every conversation changed everything. This one moved me to tears. I think it will move you too.  In this episode: \u2022 The pivotal decision that took Prime from $20M to $60M and beyond \u2022 Why Steve spends $1 million a year on gifts (and why his CFO hates it) \u2022 How to turn simple connections into high-value strategic partnerships \u2022 The review strategy that generated 8,000 five-star reviews and why it matters \u2022 Leadership lessons from managing 400 employees with heart \u2022 Why you\u2019re one conversation away from your next big breakthrough If this inspired you and you\u2019re hitting a ceiling in your growth, and you\u2019re truly ready to scale your seven-figure company:    Click here: www.MyScaleSession.com to book a one-on-one Deep Dive Scale Session with a CEO Strategist on Allison\u2019s team at Pinnacle Global Network.
