It is a constant effort to keep sales growing while building the foundations of your business.

Growth Cycle - Great Performances Group

Growth Cycle

You have been in business for up to 10 years. You have traction: growing sales, and a few employees. You have more work than you can take on, and are working too many hours. There are a lot of good things happening, but the risks and complexity keep piling on. The Growth Cycle challenge: we go from having not enough work to having too much. This is a fun phase because we don’t stay up at night worrying about sales.

You have a great management team in place. You do have questions about expanding, franchising, or selling, the business. As an Enterprise Cycle business owner, you don’t have problems as much as you have complex choices.

It was a pleasure working with Doug Walker in structuring a shareholder agreement for our health and wellness meal planning application and website Meal Planner Pro (www.mealplannerpro.com). We needed to accommodate different levels of investment which presented many challenges. Doug was able to quickly grasp the complexities and provide us with a clear and concise outline of each party's rights and responsibilities. This gave us the structure needed for current and future investment. Beyond Doug's impressive skill set and experience, he has the ability to think outside the box, delivers on what he promises, can work under tight deadlines, and has very strong communication skills. I can highly recommend Doug Walker. He would be a tremendous asset to any project or company.

John is a visionary that takes global thinking from years of experience across big and small corporate environments, and applies it locally by pursuing his passion of providing traction for micro business growth. Working alongside John at The Network Hub Nanaimo has resulted in several "a-ha!" moments through discussion and collaboration, and John's presence is reassuring. So, if you are like me - a micro-business owner with a 'why not' mindset - you will likely experience a faster 'concept' to 'commercialization' for your business by working with John.
