Carl Hartmann knows how to grow and scale businesses … from scratch.

In fact, he’s one of Australia’s leading serial entrepreneurs, having taken his first idea - Temando - to over 80,000 users, 3-billion transactions and over $55M in funding.

And today, he shares his 5 tips for growing and scaling your business.

 

A little bit more about serial entrepreneur Carl Hartmann ...

Carl Hartmann is a prominent, multi-award winning Australian entrepreneur best known from his work as Co-Founder & CEO of Temando which he took from an idea to one of Australia’s largest technology companies.

Having exited Temando in 2017, Carl now spends his time looking for the next big thing, investing in companies that make him sit up and take notice.

In fact, he’s the co-founder of Lyre’s non-alcoholic spirits - remember we interviewed founder Mark Livings a couple of weeks ago?

 

So strap in as Carl:
Shares the ups and downs of his entrepreneurial journey
Give us his top 5 tips on how to scale a business just like yours
And every now and then bamboozles me with tech talk that’s way beyond my limit!

 

“Success is not a birthright, it is a privilege. Life is hard, the odds are against you and it’s only with hard work, tenacity and sacrifice that we achieve success.” - Carl Hartmann, Serial Entrepreneur

 

Here’s what caught my attention from my chat with serial entrepreneur Carl Hartmann:
Be an evangelist for your business. If you can’t, then maybe it’s time to reset your mindset or get out!
I love Carl’s generosity of giving back. Whether it be through his adjunct professorship at Queensland Uni, or simply allowing would-be entrepreneurs to pick his brain … it’s great to see people who have made it, giving back.
Stay focussed by avoiding rabbit holes.
