Summary: There are 4 distinct phases of entrepreneurship, and knowing which phase you're in is crucial to business growth. In this episode, author Chris Cooper will teach you how to identify which entrepreneurial phase you're in, and how to move on to the next one quickly. When his first business almost went bankrupt, Chris sought a mentor and began chronicling his turnaround. That experience led to his first book, Two-Brain Business. After thousands of hours spent one-on-one with business owners, hundreds of blog posts, and more interviews than he can recall, Chris now shares his lessons learned with over 2,000 business owners worldwide through his mentoring business, twobrainbusiness.com. You too can take the test to see which phase you are in. Be sure to check out his new book, Founder, Farmer, Tinker, Thief. Today's show is sponsored by Audible.com and Gusto.
