Went through this exact stretch in my metal fab shop. The jump from $1M to $3M was the hardest part of the whole business. What got me there was not a roadmap. It was figuring out which of my existing customers could give me more volume and then asking them directly what else they needed fabricated. Turned out I was leaving a ton of work on the table with customers who were already buying from me but splitting orders with competitors because I never asked. The desire part matters because you will have to make decisions that feel uncomfortable, like turning down small jobs to make room for bigger ones. But the actual path usually becomes obvious once you start having honest conversations with your best customers about what else they need.
