01 · StageStart

Customers who didn’t know me before are paying for what I sell.
I make money on each sale after direct costs, including a fair wage for my time.
My business money is separate from my personal money, and my books are current.

02 · StageGrow

I know where my best customers come from, and I can bring in more from that source on purpose.
I know what it costs to win a customer and what one is worth over a year.
New sales come in even when I’m not the one selling.

03 · StageStabilize

I can see my cash position thirteen weeks out.
My books close every month, on time, and I read them.
I have a cash reserve, and payroll week doesn’t worry me.

04 · StageRun better

I could take two weeks off and the business would run normally.
Someone other than me runs day-to-day operations.
My team reviews a short scorecard every week without me pushing it.

05 · StagePlan the exit

I have clean, consistent financials for at least the last three years.
No single customer, supplier or employee could sink the business.
I know what I want my exit to look like, and roughly when.

You don’t have to build it alone.

If you want a second set of eyes on your stage, I’m glad to be a sounding board. My first priority is helping you grow.
