Stages of Growth X-Ray

Avoid the avalanche of problems associated with growing your business.

Discover the hidden forces influencing and shaping the health and
financial performance of your company.

FlashPoint!’s Stages of Growth X-Ray will help you discover the ONE THING that will change the face of your company forever.

Don’t you think it is time to take the next step with your business and first discover and then remove the hidden barriers to your company’s health and financial performance?

My name is Laurie Taylor and I want to be your business growth specialist. My company, FlashPoint! was created to help the small business owner, like you, identify the critical hidden obstacles that are stopping your company from reaching its potential.

In my two-day workshop, The Stages of Growth X-Ray, you’ll learn how to –

• Accurately predict 6-18 months into your company’s future,
• Focus your company’s resources and energy on the right things at the right time
• Adapt your abilities and skills to the unique needs of your company in its current stage of growth

This powerful experience will help you supercharge your company’s immune system and improve your ability to–

• Recognize and address the subtle causes of organizational trauma before they take hold in your company
• Be a proactive leader by confidently preparing your staff to focus on the right issues at the right time
• Improve your executive decision making by revealing the faulty assumptions that many business executives have about enterprise behavior

Many business owners simply don’t have the time required to look deeper into the causes underneath the tidal wave of issues confronting them everyday. Constantly putting out fires distracts you from identifying the hidden forces that cause many of your company's problems.

“The Stages of Growth X-Ray helped me to get below the surface of our organization and see more clearly where we are excelling and what areas need more attention. By the end of the day, our team was clear about the initiatives needed to achieve success in the coming year and a starting point for how to enact them. Laurie’s workshop helped us to achieve some HUGE goals including attendance up over 60% and revenues up 63% over last year. I would highly recommend the Stages of Growth X-Ray for any business who desires growth and wants a plan for how to achieve it.”

Recent growth research proved three things ….

Companies like yours ……
Must reduce the uncertainty that is inherent to growing and managing a company.

Companies like yours ……
Must reduce the chaos that scatters a company’s focus and its ability to drive to its goals. And

Companies like yours ……
Must reduce the barriers blocking growth that are being created by the methods and practices that don’t work anymore.

By understanding what stage of growth your company is in, you can PREDICT when the level of unaddressed complexity will become problematic. If you ignore it, you will start to see revenues and margins erode, productivity fall and customer service issues crop up all around you.

By understanding the complexity level of your company, you can FOCUS on: 1) the right people issues, 2) the right revenue and profit initiatives and 3) the right business processes that are critical to your company’s health in its current stage of growth.

And when you understand the critical balance that exists in the psyche of every company that hinges on how much confidence or how much caution exists inside your company, you’ll discover the hidden secrets of how to ADAPT your unique skills to maximize and leverage your positive impact on the enterprise.

I have been in your shoes…...

I have dealt with tight cash flow, struggled to get products to market, managed employees through good times and bad – I’ve been burnt out and frustrated with all the challenges that come with running a small business.

I appreciate the challenges you are facing in running your business. I’ve not only worked with other CEOs and their businesses but have also grown my own successful multimillion dollar enterprise.

I have watched my client’s revenues climb, their customer satisfaction grow and I’ve witnessed the times when they reaped the profits that allowed them to achieve their goals and live the lifestyle they aspired to.

FlashPoint!’s Stages of Growth X-Ray utilizes an enterprise development model known as the 7 Stages of Growth -- this unique, one-of-a-kind approach to growing a business gives you the tools, methods and methodology you need to successfully grow your company.

"I've been thinking. I've mentioned before that I'm very impressed with your material and your services. It occurred to me today that this is way more valuable than an MBA. An MBA is like a backpack full of books to take with you on a journey thru the haunted forest. An "MBR" (Master's in Business Revelation) is like a flashlight, GPS and light saber. Thanks for the revelation into my business!"

David Paulson, CEO, Accuer

I make business owners sit up and think ……

In this unique, two-day experience, you and your team will:

• Discover what your top five challenges are for where you are today
• Determine what the 5 non-negotiable rules of the road are as your company moves from one stage of growth to another
• Uncover the confidence/caution ratio that exists in your company and how it may be affecting your ability to grow
• Understand which leadership style will be most effective in leading your team today and into the future
• Create a ‘language of growth’ guaranteed to help every person in your company better deal with growth trauma

The Stages of Growth X-Ray Workshop

This program is designed for business owners, with fewer than 500 employees, to look beneath the surface of your companies challenges and walk away with 6 – 10 initiatives that will kick-start your profit engine, ignite your employee’s productivity and improve your company’s overall performance.

After all, if you are trying to grow your company, wouldn’t you rather have a proven model to follow?

Or would you rather ‘figure it out as you go’ which, unfortunately is what I continue to find today with the majority of business owners.

However, the ones that are ‘figuring it out as they go’ usually waste a lot of those precious resources – time, people and money – and even though they may eventually pull it through, the toll it can take on the owner as well as the employees is huge.

Knowing how busy business owners are, I’ve taken the 7 Stages of Growth enterprise development model and created a two-day training workshop designed to:

• Immediately identify your stage of growth and determine how many managers you should have – a ratio of managers to employees that will help you keep your overhead in line and productivity high.
• Immediately recognize how many ‘builders’ you have in your company – people who create new ideas, take on new initiatives, find ways to expand your profitability – builders love to take risks and are highly supportive of growth. Builders grow companies.
• Immediately recognize how many ‘protectors’ you have in your company – protectors are people who are cautious and prefer to slow down the pace of change – they are risk adverse and highly suspicious of growth. Protectors are necessary to ‘protect’ your company.
• Immediately recognize the critical aspects of your stage of growth – whether it’s knowing when your company moves from CEO-centric to enterprise-centric or knowing when to hire professional managers – you begin to know what you didn’t know.Contact Laurie and let’s get you tuned into new revelations about your business and help you begin to understand why understanding the 7 Stages of Growth are key to the success of your business.
