~ Which Stage Describes You? ~

Aspiring (Stage 0): The aspiring stage is comprised of people who are thinking about starting a company. There are many. Walstad and Kourilsky reported that a Gallup survey sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation found that 66% of Americans 25-44 years of age were interested in starting a business (Seeds of Success, Kendall-Hunt, p. 16).

"Vision-Rich-Cash-Poor"

< This book is
definitely for you...

Startup (Stage 1): Startup stage companies will struggle with a host of issues, not the least of which is survival. A recent SBA study found that about one-third of all new businesses fail in the first four years. (Download the study at www.sba.gov. on pdf. ) The startup CEO must fund operations, find and develop markets, hire employees, and prove that a product or service can generate enough cash to stay in business.

Startup Stage

< No question. This
book is for you, also...

2nd Stage: When a company enters second stage, there are new challenges. The market has been proven, and survival is no longer a daily issue. Business owners work on developing a long-term vision for the company and prepare it for the transition from entrepreneurial management to professional management. The business stops being just about the business owner and instead develops a culture and a structure that are no longer dependent on the founder.

2nd Stage

< This book will re-
energize you for the
next growth phase
of your company
and your career...

3rd Stage: The professionally managed firm can continue to scale in size, since it has a professional management team in place, along with a board of directors. Frequently, entrepreneur founders do not continue to run their companies when they reach stage 3. -- "Stages" by Edward Lowe Foundation

3rd Stage

< You'll want to order a dozen copies of this
book to give as gifts to aspiring entrepreneurs
you meet along the way...
