Pick Your Stage of Development for Instant Access
STAGE 1:
Raw Startup - No Revenue yet
Just a couple crew members. Ideation stage and developing a product or service.
STAGE 2:
Early Revenue But Under $1M Annually
3 to 7 crew members. Some traction with paying customers.
STAGE 3:
Established - 7+ employees
Typically, $1M to $10M in Annual Sales but growing slowly.
STAGE 4:
Growth Expansion - Usually 25+ Employees
Sales typically over $2M+ and seeking to grow at 30%+ annually.
Each stage has very different needs and a different management style. You must "shift gears," giving up what worked before at each previous stage. This is why many founders are replaced by "professional managers and CEOs." They do not adapt. And why more than 99.75% of founders get stuck between $1M and $10M in sales?
Learn what is needed by every startup during each phase of development below.
Only 1 in 400 companies makes it to $10M in sales because of the “I don’t know what I don’t know” problem.
There are thousands of decisions to make in many business disciplines that require real-world experience. Many can kill your company. Would you read a book on flying a plane and hop into one and take off alone? Would you climb Mount Everest without a sherpa? I suspect not. In either case, you are very likely to die. However, most entrepreneurs go on this journey unprepared and without the advisors, consultants, and/or coaches they need to be successful.
The image below shows the entire startup journey from idea to launch.
Each icon is one or more tasks that can make or break your company.
And one or more courses on how to do each.
Our Course are not anecdotes, but systems, models, checklists, and practical "how to" roadmaps.
We have courses available on every required task shown above with "how to" roadmaps and checklists to guide you to more success.
This is the riskiest and most dangerous stage of development, where most will fail to do the homework and preparation to create a valuable company. Not doing all these things almost ensures failure.

Designing a unique business strategy, market research, competitive intelligence, and building the founding team and other work are usually iterative processes. It often takes three to six months working full-time and should include at least two senior people with 15+ years of experience in business. Most companies fail because they short-cut these required steps. Experience in marketing, business strategy, and the area you are innovating in are the most critical at this early stage.
