Stage 5: When Your Business Becomes Bigger Than Your Product

Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO, I’m also the author of The 7 Stage Growth Method. Today’s topic- Stage 5- The Sustainability Stage 

 This is the stage when you can first start considering scaling your business. You’ve laid the foundation in stages one through four. Let’s see how you doing in Stage 5, give yourself a rank on a scale of 1-10, 1 low, 10 high. Stage 5 is when the systems have taken over to the point they’ve created such a consistent experience for your customer base that you are now known for something other than your product and service. Starbucks- the experience, McDonald’s- convenience and real estate. They are known for things other than their core product and service. Are you? Give yourself a score on a scale of 1 to 10. One, we’re not known for that at all, 10, we are, all the ancillary benefits people really know and know really well. Put your score in the comments section.
