How do you know when your business has left stage 1?

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

If your goal is to have at least one paying customer, then you have the minimum goal of getting to stage two. And remember, we said that I'm not here to tell you what stage is the right stage for you and unless you're in this for the exercise, you will automatically go to stage two, the moment anyone purchased your product, service or idea, your widget. So if your goal is to have at least one paying customer, that means you have the goal to get to at least stage two, you can stay at any stage forever. As soon as someone pays you though, you will leave stage one so you can maximize stage one by doing your planning. Once that planning is done, you have your first client, you're now a stage two. Stage two is the specialty stage. Since you have a paying client, a job is born, you now have a job to do. You focus on continuously implementing your direction. Pushing through, the Marketplace will resist you, must push through.
