Listen "Build vs Growth vs Scale: Your Guide to Understanding the Stages of Business"
Episode Synopsis
In this kickoff episode of Scale Your Vision, Adriane maps the plain-English difference between building, growing, and scaling — and why chasing scale too soon quietly slows you down. You’ll learn the five phases (Development, Startup, Growth, Expansion, Maturity), the Four S’s (Starting, Scaling, Skating, Structuring), and a simple input/output lens that tells you exactly what to prioritize at each revenue level.🌟 Have a specific question you want me to workshop on the show?I set up this voice-note line so you can send context-rich questions I can answer for everyone’s benefit — and I can’t wait to hear what you’re building!What’s inside this episodeThe 70% rule that quietly accelerates momentum and how it forces your work hours to actually support your business growthAll my frameworks: my 5 phases of growth that supports you through $1m+/year, the 4S's of growth, and the 7 pillars of scalingThe input/output test that sorts whether you're actually scaling or if you're in a phase of growthHow to know when it's time for more market presence or if it's time to pivot into true market differentiation... or to just stay in your lane and focus on salesThe operational “house” analogy that reinforces your foundation before you add the next "story" (and why skipping this usually costs big headaches)When “scale” finally becomes the right goal (hint: it's might be further away than you think) — and what readiness actually looks like behind the scenesConnect with Adriane and Visionaries!Let's be friends on the 'gram – @visionariesonline or @adrianegaleaConnect on Linkedin – with Adriane or VisionariesVisit us on the web at visionaries.coCome network with us in The Visionaries Collective
