Laurie Taylor
As a business growth specialist, speaker, trainer, author and consultant, Laurie is committed to helping business owners and executive leaders grow and sustain profitable enterprises. She focuses on aligning an organization’s issues with the principles behind the 7 Stages of Growth, the business model that provides CEOs with tools to get ahead of the challenges and obstacles that all business owners face. Having taken a company from 2 to over 100 employees, and up to $12 million in sales, she’s been in the trenches of business ownership. Laurie is the founder of FlashPoint!, a company that provides solutions for CEOs with fewer than 500 employees to ignite their businesses. She trains business consultants on the 7 Stages of Growth principles and runs a licensing program for Growth Curve Specialists. Recently, Laurie has partnered with TTI Success Insights in Scottsdale, AZ, the global talent assessment agency, and has taken the concepts of the 7 Stages of Growth to their 7,000 person-strong distributor network.
