In this episode, Ephraim Ebstein, an MSP entrepreneur who scaled past seven figures, shares the hard lessons he learned the long way. You will hear how developing financial literacy with the help of retired CEO mentors was the turning point that unstuck his business when it was trapped between seven and nine million dollars. Ephraim also breaks down why networking is never optional, showing you how a single spearfishing connection led to the job that taught him the entire industry and eventually the clients that made his company possible. And if you have ever wondered whether burning a bridge could cost you more than you think, his story of a former boss who later became his employee will make you rethink every professional relationship you have ever let go cold.</p><p><br></p><p>──────────────────────────────────────────────────────</p><p>📚 NETWORK BEFORE YOU NEED IT (6 LESSONS THAT MADE SEAN $15M)</p><p>──────────────────────────────────────────────────────</p><p>Get my brand new eBook free - https://welivetobuild.com/network</p><p><br></p><p>──────────────────────</p><p>📋 WORK WITH ME</p><p>──────────────────────</p><p>▶ Buy 300 Lessons From 300 Founders: https://welivetobuild.com/300-lessons-ebook</p><p>▶ Sponsor the Channel: https://www.welivetobuild.com/sponsorship</p><p><br></p><p>──────────────────────</p><p>🔗 CONNECT WITH SEAN</p><p>──────────────────────</p><p>▶ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/seanweisbrot</p><p>▶ Inquiries: welivetobuild@gmail.com</p><p><br></p><p>──────────</p><p>🕐 CHAPTERS</p><p>──────────</p><p>00:00 - Networking: Love It or Hate It?</p><p>00:22 - Flying to Events to Find the Right Rooms</p><p>01:08 - The One Connection That Started Everything</p><p>03:49 - Retired CEOs Roasted Ephraim on Financials</p><p>06:21 - Pay to Be in the Right Places</p><p>11:26 - Two Takeaways, Two Relationships Per Event</p><p>13:17 - Intentional Networking Beats Hoping for Luck</p><p>16:00 - Never Burn Bridges Because The World Is Small</p><p>21:07 - Diversifying Investments to Weather Any Storm</p><p>40:00 - The Principle Behind All of Ephraim's Success</p>","author_name":"Sean Weisbrot"}
