That Growth Meter won�t fill itself. We need you to work together with the team to earn Pointz and fill it up. For every level that your team reaches on the Growth Meter, big rewards await, especially if you reach the One Million Pointz mark on the meter, so let�s get going!

Here�s how you can earn Pointz:
