In this episode, Dale and Brian explore the Builder Stage—the third phase in the four-stage business journey. After navigating the Startup and Running Man phases, the Builder Stage marks a pivotal shift: business owners begin expanding beyond themselves. It’s a time of hiring a team, opening the “front door” to customers, and establishing deeper roots that bring real substance to the business.
The brothers discuss the transition from doing everything solo to building systems, delegating responsibilities, and stepping into true leadership. They share insights on how investing in people creates exponential returns, why developing a professional presence matters, and how strategy begins to take center stage as leaders reclaim their time.
The Builder Stage brings its own set of challenges—but also the potential for big wins, greater impact, and the freedom to finally work on the business instead of just in it. Whether listeners are in this stage now or moving toward it, this episode offers valuable perspective and encouragement to keep building something that lasts.
