Growth is uncomfortable, no matter in which area of our life it occurs. So, it's no surprise to learn that business growth is hard, too. It takes time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears.  You know it's possible because you've seen other companies expand – even the ones whose services aren't as good as yours.

So, what do they have that you don't? How do you stand out as a thought leader and industry innovator? And how are you meant to find the time and headspace to invest in growth when you're in the trenches, fully engaged working in the business?

I want to tell you two things.

• There is no shortcut, but there is a process that any business can follow.
• I can march forward with you, guide you through the process, and provide you and your team with the resources you need.

This is not the part where I tell you to ring now and get a limited offer of free steak knives. This is also not the part where I tell you I can transform your life for a reasonable monthly fee and add you to a mailing list.

Instead, I'd like to offer some reassurance. Nobody wakes up one day with a clear vision of their business growth strategy and a project plan for executing it. Nobody.

Instead, they have a conversation with someone like me. We look at your current situation and where you'd like to be. If I can help you, I offer to partner with you to design a sustainable growth strategy via tendering for work or winning grant funding.

And if I don't think I can help you – that's okay. You still won't end up on any mailing lists.

Do you want to climb out of the trenches? Are you ready to stand up and be counted? For your voice to be heard above the rabble, and your expertise sought and valued?

You know you can conquer this if:

• You're ready to partner with me to create and execute your business growth strategy.
• You're ready to stretch and grow and sit with the discomfort this brings.
• You're ready to showcase your skills and talents, so your clients know you're extraordinary.

This is not for you if:

• You want to throw money at a problem and make it go away.
• You think I have a magic wand (hint: it's only a laptop).
• You think it's a quick fix.
