Hello 01: Beginner
Growth Scale Guide
2021 ©HELLO SEVEN, INC.
This Guide contains a summary of your Growth Scale level. If you’re
looking for deeper insights and guidance, see the end of this Guide.
What is the Hello Seven Growth Scale?
The Hello Seven Growth Scale is a tool that helps entrepreneurs make the
right moves at the right times, so they can efficiently and effectively scale
their businesses.
What’s really unique about The Growth Scale Framework is that it is NOT a
one-size-fits-all business strategy.
There are 7 levels on The Growth Scale, and each one corresponds to a
different revenue bracket, from $0 to $1 million+ per year.
The action steps that we recommend for growth vary from level to level.
Because if you’re just starting out in entrepreneurship, what you should focus
on right now is very different from what you should focus on when you’ve
eventually scaled to 6 figures and are working on how to hit 7.
This is why The Growth Scale is so powerful — it helps you focus on the moves
that you need to be making right now, so you can bring more money in the
door and hit your next income level.
The Framework is based on years of IRS and US Census data about women
business owners’ revenue, and on Hello Seven’s years of experience working
with thousands of women and other marginalized folks on their businesses
and their money.
(See the last page of this Guide for our note on language and statistics.)

Data shows that only a small percentage of women business owners ever
bring in six figures of revenue per year, and then an EXTREMELY small
percentage bring in seven figures per year. But most women-owned
businesses generate much less revenue than that.
And that’s exactly why we created The Growth Scale — to close knowledge
gaps, create a clear path from $0 to 7 figures, and help women and other
marginalized folks reach their full earning potential.
Your Growth Scale Level: Hello 01, Beginner.
Entrepreneurs at Hello 01 have an annual revenue of $0 - $24,999 and an
approximate monthly revenue of $0 to $2,000. 67% of US women-owned
businesses are at this level, for a total of 8,025,365 businesses.

Where Are You In The Beginner’s Journey?
There Are 3 Stages Within This Level
If You’re Just Getting Started…
That means you have a long Graduation Checklist of items to complete before
you can hit your next revenue level, including selling your first offer, working
with clients, announcing your business to your network, and more.
Make sure you review every recommendation in this Guide and complete
your entire Graduation Checklist one item at a time, so that you can reach the
next level.
If You're On Your Way…
That means you've been a Beginner for a while, and by now you've probably
sold your first offer and worked with your first clients.
Now, you need to review what's left on your Graduation Checklist and focus
on those steps you have yet to take. This is what will lead you to your next
revenue level.
If You're Almost There…
That means you've been a Beginner for a while, and you're so close to
reaching Hello 2. By now you've sold your first offer, worked with clients,
announced your business to your network, and taken care of most of the
items on your Graduation Checklist.
Now, you just need to stay consistent and complete any remaining action
steps on that Checklist. If you’ve completed all the items already, just keep at
it — your revenue will catch up with your actions, and you’ll be at the next
level in no time.

An important note about language and statistics: We often use the terms “men” and
“women” when we share financial data. This is because, unfortunately, there isn’t much
data available on people who don’t fall into those gender categories… yet. The IRS and
Census need to catch up with the reality of our world. As new, more inclusive data gets
released, we look forward to bringing it to you. Folks who identify as non-binary,
non-gendered, pangender, genderfluid, third-gender, two-spirit, or whatever identity is
true for you, please know that you are welcome and beloved in this community.
