OBJECTIVES
Owner Perspective

1. Where is our startup right now?
2. What problems we are encountering are predictable and which should not be happening right now?

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Our research over the past 18 years and 5 start-ups demonstrated the growth process is dynamic and predictable, but not preordained. In general terms, all well managed businesses go through a minimum of 2 Phases; Performance and Profits, and depending on the owners long term goal – a 3rd Phase of Renewal. Each Phase has a set of Stages necessary to successfully complete the goals of each Phase.

Our primary lesson after four decades of business consulting is each Growth Phase & Stage presents a set of challenges that must be met and a series of failure points avoided. None of these challenges are positive or negative in a traditional sense. Instead the issues confronting the entrepreneur should be viewed as “Normal” or “Abnormal” - are these challenges predictable for a specific stage or not?

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO​
1. Performance Phase - FOCUS OF ALL STARTUPS

1. Stage I: Dream2Plan;
2. Stage II: GoLive; and 
3. Stage III: NextAct.

2. Profits Phase - HOW YOUR INVESTORS ARE EVAULATING THE OPPORTUNITY

1. Stage IV: BigFast; and
2. Stage V: Optimize.

3. Renewal Phase - WHEN TO SELL, WHEN TO ACQUIRE, WHEN TO SEEK FURTHER FINANCING

1. Stage VI: Reinvention; and / or SELL!
2. Stage III: NextAct
