This Field Guide is for Business Builders

A quote from Captain Obvious: “Starting a business and building one are two different endeavors.” If you are currently attempting to build your business past its early startup phase, you will find good company across the nation. Approximately 2.1 million entrepreneurs wake each day finding themselves and their business in a stage past the early startup. This is new territory if you’ve just arrived at this place. Even though 40% of the nation’s workforce toils in businesses that are “building,” fewer people are excited about the work, the time, and the persistence needed to build versus start.

If you are a builder, you’ve no doubt experienced less attention and respect compared to startups. Startups are perceived as exciting and full of promise, often glamorized in media and popular culture. They are seen as the harbingers of innovation and disruption. In contrast, the steady, less glamorous work of building and sustaining a business rarely makes headlines, even though it is this work that drives long-term economic growth and stability.
