what is stage 3?
Stage 3 is the third stage of a business's lifecycle, following the Startup and Entrepreneurial stages. This is the stage where the business begins to mature and grow in complexity, usually beyond the founder's ability to lead it alone. It's the stage in which the business should transition from chaos to operational and financial maturity.
Think of Stage 3 as the teenage years of a business. It can be a turbulent time, a time of feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, wondering if owning a business will ever be what you expected it to be. It's the phase when many business owners question whether they have what it takes to achieve lasting success.
We come alongside Stage 3 leaders to help them navigate this challenging time, guiding them toward sustainable success while helping them rediscover the joy of being business owners. We help business owners move their businesses from unruly teenagers to mature, productive adults.
