Hello! I’m Laurie Taylor, Founder and president of FlashPoint!
Look. I’ve been in your shoes. With no business experience, my business partner and I took an idea (and a need to put food on our table) and turned that idea into a successful marketing communications company, growing that company to $12 million and over 100 employees. I wasn’t taught how to run a company. Most of us aren’t. I was fortunate to have been introduced to the 7 Stages of Growth model and for the last 20 years have utilized this model to create a successful business that helped hundreds of business owners improve productivity, performance and profitability by understanding this simple concept:
As a business grows, complexity increases. That complexity is due to the addition of people. We all know that while managing profits and processes are challenging, nothing compares to the challenge of managing people! The 7 Stages of Growth (7SG) framework is a research-backed methodology for helping business leaders and their teams navigate the predictable stages of business growth.

I have written 7 books that take a deep dive into the specific challenges a business owner faces in each of those 7 stages of growth. These books capture my own experiences of taking a start-up from 2 employees to 120 employees and I share the good, the bad and the ugly as I experienced the challenges of growing a successful business.
The 7 Stages of Growth is the ONLY predictive business model that can help you understand why certain things are happening today, what you didn’t get done in an earlier stage of growth that is holding you back, and how by looking ahead at the next stage of growth, you can start planning today and stay ahead of your growth curve.
Let me ask you. Have you experienced any of these challenges?
- Do you feel you need to have better staff buy-in?
- Do you have difficulty forecasting problem areas before they surface?
- Do you struggle to quickly get systems and procedures in place as the company grows?
- Do your employees understand how the company will grow in the future?
- Is there a growing leadership/staff communication gap?
Now there is a formula for growing your business.
Order one of Laurie’s 7 books and explore your current stage of growth to help you successfully navigate your business based on a research-proven formula.

“As a CEO who has been at the helm since Stage 1, (today a Stage 7 company) understanding and awareness are the keys to success for a growing business and expanding leadership team. I have found that pushing the leadership team, including myself, to visit and review the 7 Stages of Growth on a consistent basis keeps us in alignment. I have never encountered a more valuable tool in terms of concisely summarizing the needs of an organization as it grows.”
Fischer’s research of over 650 successfully running companies has been supported and continually validated by certified Growth Curve Specialists since 2009. Over 2500 organizations, profit and nonprofit, in dozens of industries, have experienced the power of this predictive model and the concepts have been embraced in the United States, Mexico, Australia, Ireland, Malaysia, Indonesia, Central America, Canada, Taiwan and Germany.
By understanding your stage of growth, based on the number of employees, you are able to take the mystery out of why certain issues are happening today.
The 7 Stages of Entrepreneurial Growth provides business owners, with 1 – 500 employees a crystal ball into turning a good business into a great business.
