The Small Business Lifecycle: A Guide for Taking the Right Steps at the Right Time

Charlie Gilkey

Small businesses have much different growth patterns than large corporations. Small business owners who look to large corporations for insight and guidance on how to grow their own businesses often feel overwhelmed and demotivated. The Small Business Life Cycle lays out the five stages of small business growth and explains how you can navigate each stage in your business. To be successful, you have to take the right steps at the right time. Each stage has different challenges, strengths, inconvenient truths, and ways forward. This guide shows you where to focus your resources in each stage so you can grow your business efficiently. Whether you’re thinking about starting a small business or you’ve been in business for a while, The Small Business Life Cycle will give you a better gauge to evaluate where you are and what you need to do next. If you’re growing fast and want to keep growing, this book will show you how to do it strategically. And if you’re stuck and don’t know what to do, you can determine what stage your business is in now and figure out what you need to do next to get unstuck. This guide will specifically help you work through:

Why some successful products and services will cause you to get stuck and lose momentum What four things must be in place to grow your business
