In a previous blog, we discussed the four definitive phases of business growth: Startup, Growth, Scale, and Exit. While we often focus on the excitement of Growth and Scale, the most common reason businesses hit a plateau is simple: they have outgrown their original Startup Phase foundations. Even if you’re
If you’re a business owner, you’re constantly bombarded with confusing growth jargon: “10x,” “upscale,” and “fast growth.” While these terms are catchy, they are often meaningless without a defined strategy, leaving you overwhelmed and stuck.
