In this episode, Dale and Brian kick off a four-part series exploring business stages. Since identifying these stages back in 2016, they’ve seen them appear everywhere—from ForeverLawn dealers to businesses far beyond their network.

This first installment dives into the Startup Stage, where excitement is high, energy is strong, and everything feels new. But without motion, learning, and investment—of time, resources, and commitment—many businesses risk getting stuck here indefinitely.

Listeners will hear how this concept first took shape, the personal experiences that led to its development, and why recognizing these stages can help entrepreneurs move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Whether you're launching something new or mentoring others who are, this episode will give you a framework to identify where you are—and what it takes to move ahead.

Episode Highlights:

• Great minds think alike.
• Quick overview of the stages.
• The Startup Phase.
• The potential pitfalls.
• Moving out of the Startup Phase.
