STAGE 3: $1M–$5M

Lead Like a CEO

You’re not just building. Now you’re leading. But if you’re still in the day-to-day, you’re limiting your growth.

This stage is about stepping into full ownership and building a company that thrives without you. True owership awaits.

Your focus: Strategic leadership, data-backed decisions, operational maturity, and team autonomy.

Tools for this stage:

• Financial Reports + Custom Dashboards
• Strategic Planning Models
• Hiring Roadmaps
• Executive Scorecards
• Culture & Values Integration Tools
• Team Development & Accountability Systems
• Leadership Communication Tools
• Department-Level SOPs
• Recurring Team Cadences
• Vision → Execution Planning Systems
   

At this stage, systems aren’t optional — they’re your growth engine. It’s time to install the structure that makes you unnecessary. (In the best way.)
