🧭 Part 2: How to Move Through the Stages

Growth doesn’t just happen — it’s earned through action. Here's how to move forward, one level at a time.

🔹 Step 1: Identify Your Stage

Which level above describes your current business honestly?
Don’t skip ahead — every level builds on the one before it.

🔹 Step 2: Choose One Core Area to Improve

Growth isn’t about fixing everything at once. Focus on ONE of these areas:

• 🧭 Clarity (messaging, niche, offers)
• 🔗 Systems (workflow, onboarding, delivery)
• 📣 Visibility (marketing, partnerships, leads)
• 💸 Revenue (pricing, packages, conversions)
• 🧠 Mindset (confidence, leadership, focus)

Pick the one that would create the biggest breakthrough.

🔹 Step 3: Build a 30-Day Plan

• What’s the problem I’m solving in my business this month?
• What’s the measurable goal?
• What are the 3–5 actions I need to take to get there?
• What support or accountability do I need?

🧠 Keep it simple. One month = one focus. That’s how you grow.

🔹 Step 4: Review + Repeat Monthly

• Did I complete my plan?
• What worked? What didn’t?
• What’s my next priority?

That’s how you turn a growth plan into a growth rhythm.

✅ What to Do Now

• Read through the 4 stages and identify exactly where you are.
• Choose your core focus area for the next 30 days.
• Write your 30-day growth plan — and start tomorrow.
