Discover Your
Entrepreneur Stage

The Inspired entrepreneur is just starting in business.  Which means zero revenue at the moment. Some are doing this part-time as a side hustle until they can turn a profit and quit their day job.  They are inspired to do this because they see others are successful.  Even though they have high expectations at this stage, they also have a lot of fear. They question everything. They are often stuck in the “what if” loop. Which means they usually want proof, and a guarantee for success.  They look for

quick systems and search for exact steps to get started. This is what typically holds them back. The biggest challenge is they are in a fog about what to create and how to deliver it. Simply because they are pulled in many directions. From experts and other people.  They don’t know who their ideal client is…or if they do, they don’t know how to reach them, and what to reach them with. 

Summary:

The Believer is resilient.  They’ve fought many battles and won.  Their mindset is strong. They accept that obstacles are part of the journey and instead of reacting and giving in, they reframe how they see them.  But they are struggling financially to get the business stable - most have not yet crossed the 100k in revenue. They are connected to their ‘why’. Which is usually much more than just making money.  However, because they are struggling with growing the business, they take on any opportunity. They end up servicing many clients and niches. For most of the day. They are reacting and putting out fires.  There is little to no focus or strategic planning in place to help them off the hamster wheel.

Summary:

When the Believer crosses through the first 100k milestone, they graduate into an Achiever. They are making money - but they lack proper systems.  They are still servicing too many different customers. But that is usually the reason they pushed through the 100k barrier. They are still working IN the business.  Doing a lot themselves. They know they need to outsource to grow and get more freedom. They are more willing at this point to let things go and have other people do it.  They value outside resources like coaching because they realize they’ve struggled to long and hard. They want to reduce the hours they are putting in and feel they are just “one client or project away” from breaking through to 500k and more.

Summary:

The Leader stage is tricky.  Even though the leader has cracked the code to getting customers, and they are making sales, they still can’t step out of the business.  Without them, the business stops. They are looking for more freedom and need to build automation and teams to handle decisions without them involved.
