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.

Doug's coaching and mentoring were of great value to my company as we entered and proceeded through an international business competition. With Doug's help, our company placed in the top ten. Doug's help was especially important in the final round when we made our pitch to an elite group of investors.

Thanks to Doug's experience, he had the ability to intuitively understand and analyze our strengths and weaknesses and quickly provide a clear, effective plan of action for us.

I met Doug Walker in a Business for Business Network Meeting in Saanichton in January 2018. In that short meeting, I got the immediate impression that Doug had a lot of business experience and knowledge, and needing a new perspective on my businesses, I wanted to tap into that. So I hired Doug. We have worked together for over 6 months and I am extremely satisfied with the results I have seen, and continue to see. Doug helps me see aspects of my business that need my attention, and those that aren't as important (setting priorities!) He has helped me achieve more confidence in my abilities to run a successful business and I feel like he is always there for me. I've had to ask for advice on finding balance between work and family, personnel relationships, financial situations and creating a vision for my business and life. I could not be more pleased to be working with Doug. He is a life saver!!

John has been my business coach for a year now and I have seen an ROI of 25% in my net Revenue and profit as a result. He has helped me to focus on driving sales, focusing my time, improving production and employee satisfaction. As an entrepreneur, it is important to know where you are in your business and specifically where you are going. John has given me tools to analyse what I have done and do what i have to do to move my business forward.
