Wherever the business is right now

Every stage asks new questions of the owner.

Owner-led businesses tend to move through four stages. At each one, the hard questions show up on both the people side and the numbers side.

  1. Startup

    Build the foundation and get traction.

    People side
    Who do you need beside you, and what can only you do?
    Numbers side
    Are the books set up to tell you whether this is working?
  2. Grow up

    Strengthen systems, team, and offers.

    People side
    Which decisions should stop coming back to you?
    Numbers side
    Which work makes money, and which only keeps you busy?
  3. Scale up

    Increase impact, revenue, and reach.

    People side
    Can your leaders carry the next level without you in every room?
    Numbers side
    Can cash and capacity support the growth you are planning?
  4. Hand off

    Build a business that runs without you.

    People side
    Who leads when you step back, and are they ready?
    Numbers side
    Would the financials hold up for a buyer, a successor, or a lender?

The people side and the numbers side belong in the same conversation.
