7 Stage Insights
Growth Hacks or a Roadmap for Sustainable Growth?
People often ask where the 7 Stages of Business Success originated. Were they invented out of thin air? In a way, yes—but not without purpose. Rooted in a deep passion for business strategy, this framework emerged after countless hours of analyzing and refining growth models. While many approaches to business growth are sound, others overpromise and underdeliver. In recent years, the rise of so-called "growth hackers" has been particularly deceptive. These are the gimmicks marketed as...
Purpose as Competitive Advantage
Standing out in an industry takes more than great products or services. Today's top companies embrace a sense of purpose, what’s often called the “why.” It’s the story, the cause, and the values that show the world what the business stands for. The “why” matters more than most people think. Once a company locks in on its purpose, everything else starts falling into place. Teams understand their goals better, decisions become easier, and the “how” of running the business feels more natural. A...

Carl Gould
Founder of 7 Stage Growth
Talk about grass roots….I know how to build a company from the ground up. My first business launched when I was still a teenager. After suffering a leg injury in my sophomore year in college, I launched a landscaping company.
After selling that business I then started a construction and real estate investment business. I was on my own, trying to figure it out. I became a sponge for information and wisdom. I enrolled in county college, attended personal development seminars, studied NLP, Situational Leadership(TM), Organizational Life-cycles, got certified as a professional bartender (I can still flip the bottles..:), worked the overnight shift at UPS loading trucks (Did you do the math?)
That’s right, I worked at UPS from midnight to 8am, then went straight to my landscaping business. That’s what it takes to build something from nothing. In other words… I hustled my a** off to achieve what I have today.
I have trained over 7,000 coaches in 35 countries, advised many of the fastest-growing companies, won Entrepreneur of the Year, co-authored Blueprint for Success with two of my idols, Ken Blanchard and Stephen R. Covey, spoke at Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within seminars for three years, wrote nine books, and ran two NYC marathons twice.
Going Public-the IPO!
When we first founded Velocity Shares we worked closely with 7 Stage Advisors, and their insights played a central role in helping us establish a strong foundation. Carl is an expert on entrepreneurship, team building, leadership, execution and modeling excellence. I am confident 7 Stage Advisors would make an invaluable contribution to realizing your goals and I highly recommend them.
