Is there a formula for business growth? As it turns out, there just might be, and Cesar Quintero holds a key to entrepreneurial success. Now, he's sharing his lessons about entrepreneurship with us. We're sharing the highlights of our conversation below.

Unique Abilities

Dan Sullivan of Strategic Coach teaches about unique abilities--the skills that we all inherently possess and are uniquely positioned to do. When we work from these abilities, we have more energy and create more value than when we do things we are not uniquely designed to do. And this idea is the foundation of Cesar's work with entrepreneurs.

[8:15] “Everybody says that entrepreneurs can change the world, and businesses can change the world—and I’m a true capitalist. I really feel that if we can generate value we can change the world... I truly believe that only happens if the entrepreneur... really leverages their unique ability.”

When you take care of your team, and have them working in their unique abilities, they can take care of clients and create more value. So focus on creating a team that thrives first—so your customers thrive naturally as a result. 

The Power of Vulnerability

Building a team of entrepreneurs who are working in their unique abilities takes vulnerability. It’s not always easy, but it fosters trust and growth. Opening up your numbers to your team, for example, takes massive vulnerability. However, the amazing result is that people take ownership of those numbers—they’re contributing, and that’s empowering. 

[12:39] “I started my business at 24, and most people around me were older than me. Every room I went to... I was always the youngest guy there. I had to prove something to people, I think, in my mind I always had to prove that I knew, and I was right. And I think letting down my ego helped me become a better leader and a better businessman.”

The E-volution Flywheel

Cesar shares one concept behind his upcoming book, and the foundation of his business, the E-volution Flywheel. 

[15:39] “After hundreds of different entrepreneurs that I helped, I saw a pattern... There’s five stages. The important thing with this cycle, is that true entrepreneurs and true leaders and people, we don’t go through this on a sequential aspect.”

The stages of Cesar’s model are:

* Startup—You’re seeing opportunities in the marketplace.* Leader by Design—Understanding what you can and cannot do.* Team by Design—Delegating what you cannot or will not do to internal and external teams.* Biz by Design—Create systems for your business to work without you, so you can continue to scale and create value.
