Clarity Toolkit: 5 Stages, BAS & 90-Day Roadmap

Every successful transformation begins with clarity about

  1. where you stand today
  2. where you aspire to be
  3. what’s in your way
  4. what to do about it

It doesn’t matter if we’re talking business, leadership, health or anything else. Forward progress starts by seeing those four points clearly.

This week I'm rolling out updates to three of my most powerful tools to help you get that clarity:


#1. The 5 Stages of the Business Owner’s Journey

There is a predictable path when growing a business. Know exactly which stage you’re in today and focus on the capabilities you need next.

5 things you can do when you know your stage:

  • Choose the right strategies and resources
  • Anticipate problems and opportunities early
  • Set better goals
  • Keep everyone on the same page
  • Focus time, energy and money where it counts

#3. 90-Day Business Growth Roadmap
