Stage 6: Scale and Legacy -From Owner-Operator to Visionary Leader

You’ve built the engine and hired the team. Now, it’s time to step back so the business can step up. Stage 6 is about Independence. It’s the moment your business provides for your family and community whether you are in the office or on a beach.

Step 1: The "Replace Yourself" Test

Could you leave your business for 30 days without checking your email?

The Goal: If the answer is "no," you still have a high-paying job, not a Stage 6 asset.
The Action: Identify the final few "owner-only" decisions and delegate them to your Stage 5 team members.

Step 2: Strategic Scaling

Now that the foundation is unbreakable, you can grow with confidence.

Expansion: This might mean opening a second location like Eddy, adding a second truck like Vu, or expanding your service area like Liliana.
The Sparkr Way: We scale with cash, not debt. If the business can't afford to grow, it isn't ready to grow.

Step 3: Building the Legacy

What does this business do for the world?

Community Impact: Stage 6 founders focus on giving back, mentoring new "Stage 1" entrepreneurs, and creating a culture that employees never want to leave.
Personal Wealth: This is where the business ensures your family's tree is changed forever.

Common Sense Corner: The Ego Trap

Many leaders at this stage start getting bored and "messing" with the systems that already work. Don't break the engine just because you want to drive something new. Keep your core values simple, sturdy, and clear.
