Have you built a business that's actually capable of delivering the life you want? This fundamental question sits at the heart of entrepreneurship yet remains unaddressed for too many business owners caught in the daily grind.

Mark Fitzgerald, entrepreneur and business growth specialist, kicks off the Business Growth Blueprint Podcast by sharing his journey from corporate manager to successful business owner. Drawing from seven years of building multiple successful companies and helping hundreds of other entrepreneurs do the same, Mark introduces his mission: helping business owners create the lifestyles they want through strategic business development.

The episode challenges listeners to answer three pivotal questions: Why did you start your business? Why are you still in it? And what do you want from it long-term? These seemingly simple questions often reveal profound disconnects between our business structures and life goals. Mark explains how entrepreneurs typically find themselves in one of three positions—needing to stabilize, optimize, or maximize their business—and why identifying your current position is crucial before implementing growth strategies.

Most importantly, Mark introduces his approach to business growth through establishing foundation blocks, understanding core business metrics, and aligning business structure with lifestyle goals. Whether you're running a lifestyle business or building a scalable enterprise, the key lies in creating systems that deliver consistent results without constant personal sacrifice.
