Episode B5.001 Overview of Operations for Stage V Businesses

Introduction
​You have a dream. It’s a great dream - in the US we call it the “American Dream.” An idea that turns into an entrepreneurial journey. Many dreams die in this early stage. Even more close their doors before reaching Stage VI.

 But what if you knew how to grow a sustainable business fast, even in today’s (post) pandemic economy? That is exactly what we will be sharing in our Season 2 programming at the IBGR Network. Proven strategies delivered by seasoned business owners, sharing what works and what doesn’t work at each of the six stages of business growth. 

Take a look at the Stages of Business Growth and choose the level that best describes where your business is currently. Then pick one of the four times each stage is delivered daily in a 24 hour period. Welcome to the world of entrepreneurship!

Well this is exciting. We made 2 fundamental changes to the 3rd Quarter. The first was announced at the beginning of the month - the month of Agile. That decision was based on where most businesses are today in relationship to arbitrary government action on Covid19. We use the term because decisions to open or not open are political and therefore unpredictable. Agile is the right choice for the Owner's Mindset because it works in unstable environments.

The second major change is the design of programming.  The new approach is applying the Stages of Fast and Sustainable Growth for the 6 time blocks and shift the themes or tracks to days of the week. The goal was to make it easier for the business owner to find the right live show or podcast.
