The 7 Stages of Growth

We are the innovators of the “7 Stages of Growth.” Growth Curve founder James Fischer, discovered that every small business must pass through seven stages successfully in order to sustain future growth. Each stage of growth for any business is determined by the company’s complexity.

Complexity is determined by the number of people employed.

Each human being is a complex adaptive system, adding to the complexity of your organization. Your company is also a complex adaptive system, struggling within a complex industry, in an ever changing environment. This scenario of "layers of complexity" is found everywhere in nature, and it’s why we use images of nature throughout our site.

There are 10 hidden agents working in every stage of growth, and there are 5 areas of attention every leader must keep in focus in order to transition in a balanced way, to the next stage of complexity. If the hidden agents or the rules of growth are not known and applied, then profitability and growth are not sustainable.

Growth Curve Defined

There is mathematical sequence found everywhere in nature that demonstrates a precise and balanced distribution of energy and proportional structure of any living organism. It is called, The Golden Ratio.

In business we find the Golden Ratio in healthy sustainable organizations that are able to navigate successfully between stagnation and chaos, or Preparation and Pressure, during each stage of growth. We call this powerful middle path of high performance, "The Growth Curve.”

The Nautilus Shell is our symbol for the perfect curve at every stage of growth, found in nature and graphically demonstrated by sustainable businesses.

Principled prosperity is defined as the ethical acquisition and management of economic freedom. It considers the noble, visionary, focused and pragmatic well being of everyone and everything it touches. The drive for prosperity in all its myriad forms is the primal motivator behind the majority of individuals running small businesses today. The surprising fact is that only a small percent of business owners actually achieve the level of deep continuous prosperity that meets their expectations. Upon reflection this should urge us to re-examine our core beliefs of what prosperity is and how it is acquired. What we do know is that businesses survive, succeed and prosper, by creating real, long-term value in society through principled behavior. Principled Prosperity requires the demonstration of critical thinking and risk-taking skills to generate the greatest contribution to our company, our community and our environment.
