Stage 2 requires a unique blend of flexibility and discipline. Whether you’re a founder or joined a Stage 2 business after working in a large organization, you’ll find that it requires you to think about your business challenges in new ways.
Making the situation even more difficult, the amount of management information is overwhelming and often confusing because it’s focused on start-ups or large organizations rather than on Stage 2. What’s needed is a guide – a manual – that addresses your unique challenges.
Phimation CEO Dave Haviland and COO Randy Albert wrote the Stage 2 Owner’s Manual to serve three purposes:
- Reference Guide: To help Stage 2 leaders better understand the complexities of their business
- Training Manual: To enhance the capabilities of Stage 2 management teams
- Business Improvement Guide: To help Stage 2 management teams solve their business problems effectively and sustainably
The Stage 2 Owner’s Manual covers a wide range of topics of critical importance to small business owners and managers. For each topic, we identify the common problems Stage 2 leaders encounter and outline their needs and solutions in simple terms. We also share tips and tools – including templates, videos and annotated slides – that come from more than 30 years of experience working as and with Stage 2 business owners. All the tips and tricks for getting more out of your small business are included in one practical, multi-purpose package. You can start with any section and move through it in whatever order suits you best.
