The Growth Coach. Proven. Powerful. Guaranteed.

The Growth Coach is a national organization of small business coaches and mentors. Through a proprietary coaching and accountability process, we help business owners, managers, and self-employed professionals to become more focused, effective and strategic.

Specifically, we guide entrepreneurs through a unique focusing process every 90 days so that they can go to work “on” themselves, “on” their businesses and “on” their highest priorities in a structured and action-oriented manner. We help busy and overwhelmed owners to slow down, reflect and map out critical changes they want to make to improve their businesses and lives. In short, our mission is to help entrepreneurs get more out of their businesses and lives.

While we do one-on-one monthly coaching/mentoring for certain clients, our main focus is quarterly group coaching workshops -- a personal strategic retreat for busy owners and managers. We help them to clarify their visions and priorities and then help hold them accountable for getting their important goals accomplished – both personal and professional. In the end, our clients make more, work less, and enjoy greater lives.

Our typical client is a small business owner or manager who:

Could benefit from slowing down, reflecting and mapping our strategic changes
Could benefit from a personal strategic retreat one day each quarter
Needs to work "on" their business instead of "in" their business
Needs to think and act like an owner instead of an employee
Feels like a slave to their business, employees and customers
Works too hard and makes too little
Is consumed by the day-to-day details and low-value tasks

Growth Coach Client Success Stories

Sitters Connect - Sunday, November 16, 2008

"Allison began working with me as a one hour coach when we began working on my business plan. She has been an advisor for me every step of the way with my new business. She is well-connected, thinks out of the box and very creative. When I hired her as my Growth Coach, I made the investment to start my business going the right direction rather than floundering until I HAD to have her.

Dear Allison,

... When you initially approached me with the idea I was a little skeptical. So often the idea of coaching comes across as a very fuzzy, intangible idea...I wholeheartedly recommend The Growth Coach to anyone trying to accomplish more and work less. The practices and principals have enabled me to earn a great living yet I have significantly cut the hours I spend working. By devoting one day per quarter I am more effective, efficient and my business is more profitable than ever before.

Sincerely,

Gina Ramsey
