    Summary of Ready, Fire, Aim (Michael Masterson)

    1. Infancy

    2. Fast-Growth

    3. Adolescence

    4. Maturity

    Book Abstract

    MAIN IDEA

    To succeed in starting a business and then keep it growing, you need to understand your business will go through a life cycle with four distinct stages:

    Infancy – from zero to $1 million in revenues.

    Fast-growth – from $1 to $10 million.

    Adolescence – from $10 to $50 million.

    Maturity – $50 million or more in sales revenue.

    Each stage has its own unique problems, challenges and opportunities. You have to understand and appreciate the stage you’re currently in and develop the corresponding set of skills in order to move through that stage and keep on growing as you move forward.

    No matter where your business is at the present time, you’re probably already pushing hard to get it to the next stage. This is the underlying challenge of the marketplace.

    Businesses don’t grow big and become profitable by accident. There are reasons why the great ones succeed. Every marketplace is an environment where hundreds, or even thousands, of competing interests struggle to survive. Imagine a jungle of plants and flowers and trees, each one trying to get its share of the soil and water and sun. A new business is like a sapling – tender and small. If it doesn’t have the ability to grow quickly, it stands no chance of growing at all. But growing quickly isn’t all there is to it. For a sapling to grow into maturity and eventually become a great and dominant tree, it must be able to send its roots deep, resist pestilence and disease, and send its branches where the sun shines.
