Salim chatted to Roger James Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group at the Global Entrepreneur Summit on Day 2 and discussed how businesses can fast-track growth.  Here are some of the key takeaways:

Salim and his team took the top 10 unicorns and worked out what was unique to these companies to create exponential growth. From this, he created the ExO Formula that enables others to look at replicating exponential growth.

The north star of any business should be the fundamental problem you are trying to solve and the ExO model helps identify and work towards scaling this goal. The ExO model creates a flexible and agile business model and encourages lean start-up thinking.

During his discussion with Roger, Salim explores why now is the best time to start a business, as in any downturn we always see business giants created. By building a community around your business and listening to what people want, you will be able to create and grow your revenue.

In this period of uncertainty, we are seeing the rule books being ripped up. We are seeing historically ingrained systems and values being challenged and re-written and this is the time when entrepreneurs with new ideas can thrive.
