About Infancy:

Infancy begins the moment risk has been undertaken and the Founder quits his/her job, signs the loan documents, or borrows money from friends and family. Instantly the priority of an Infant organization switches from ideas to action. The time for talking in Courtship is over; it is time to get to work and produce real results. By necessity Infant organizations are action-oriented and opportunity-driven.

About Go-Go:

A Go-Go organization is a company that has a successful product or service, rapidly growing sales, and strong cash flow. The company is not only surviving, it's flourishing. Key customers are raving about the products or services and ordering more. Even the investors are starting to get excited. With this success, everyone forgets about the trials and tribulations of Infancy. Continued success quickly transforms into confidence. If not careful, this confidence can turn to arrogance.

About Adolescence:

During Adolescence the company is reborn. This second birth is an emotional time where the company finds a life apart from that provided by its Founder(s). This critical transition is much like the rebirth a teenager goes through to establish independence from their parents. An early stage Adolescent company teeters on the brink of success and disaster.
