A growth advisor for owners planning what’s next.
The foundation is solid, and the questions are getting bigger: new markets, new revenue, when to hire, whether to sell. Growth Advisor gives you regular strategy time with someone who has run businesses, opened his own, and sold one.
Next open: Tue, Oct 20 at 1:20 PM
Meet the advisor who has started, grown, and sold companies.
Strategy time without the full-time hire.
How a growth advisor compares to the other ways owners plan ahead.
| Growth Advisor | Full-time executive | Business coach | Doing it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | From $1,499 a month | A full executive salary | A monthly program fee | Your nights and weekends |
| How often you meet | Monthly, every two weeks, or weekly | Every day | On the program's schedule | When you find time |
| Experience | Has run, opened, and sold businesses | Depends on the hire | Varies | Whatever you've learned |
| In writing | A growth plan you work from | Depends on the hire | Varies | In your head |
| Commitment | Month to month | Long-term hire | Program length | Forever |

Is this right for you?

- You're asking bigger questions: new markets, new revenue, what's next
- You have no one to think through big calls with
- You're weighing selling, buying, or another location
Not the right fit

- Everything still runs through you. Start with Get Organized.
- You need someone to run the business day to day
Meet Greg
An operator who studied people.
Greg studied anthropology at Kennesaw State, then ran restaurants as a general manager and a district manager, and a pet retail district across two states. His biggest team was around 100 people. He has worked as a fractional COO and opened businesses of his own, including one he and Nathan started together and sold. He understands how a business runs, and how the people inside it actually behave.
- Anthropology degree
- Restaurant GM and district manager
- Pet retail across two states
- Teams of around 100
- Fractional COO
- Opened and sold a business
What that means for you
- Plans only work if people follow them. Greg plans for your actual team and culture.
- He spots the people problem hiding inside the growth problem.
- He has run restaurants and retail districts. Advice from experience, not a textbook.
- See it.
- Own it.
- Solve it.
- Do it.
He is not just a vendor. He has genuinely become a part of our team.
Questions, answered.
- How is this different from a consultant?
- A consultant hands you a report and leaves. A growth advisor stays: regular calls, a written plan, and someone to check your thinking before the big decisions.
- What does it cost?
- Growth Advisor starts at $1,499 a month for a monthly call. Calls every two weeks or every week cost more. The Yearly Check-up is $3,499 once. You get the exact price in writing before anything starts.
- Is there a minimum commitment?
- No. Growth Advisor is month to month.
- What happened to the Fractional COO?
- It's Growth Advisor now: regular strategy time for owners planning what's next. If what you need is processes and roles built, that's Get Organized.
- Is it remote?
- Yes. We work with small businesses anywhere in the US.
- Do I need to fix my marketing first?
- If nobody's calling, probably. You'll know on the first call.
One conversation. You’ll know if it’s the right time.
If a growth advisor isn't what you need, we'll say so, and tell you what is.
