4 Stages of Business Ownership

Impact-driven leaders will always feel tension between managing the businesses they have and building the businesses they want. But the phase you’re in now doesn’t have to last forever. In this episode, Alex talks with Ben Loy about the four stages of business ownership: founder, operator, CEO, and owner. He breaks down some of the common characteristics and pitfalls of each stage and explains how you can keep yourself from becoming the bottleneck to the business’ growth.
