    The September 2016 Inc. 500 just landed on my doorstep (my dirty little secret: I like paper). Some fun stats from successful Inc. 500 founders when asked what the thing is that concerns them most:

    Attracting and Retaining Talent

    45%

    Staying Focused

    21%

    Managing Fast Growth

    19%

    Remaining Competitive

    9%

    Keeping Up with Rapid Technology Changes

    7%

    The greatest concern when starting their business? 43% said failure.

    86% state that their primary goal is to scale.

    Helping employees grow: 61% provide outside training to employees and 28% have leadership development programs. (Shameless plug: We can help with that!)
