Growth Partner
Run growth with me, every month.
$1,000 a month. Monthly only, cancel whenever, and you keep the month you paid for.
4 of 4 places open
Tell me what you needMost growth advice fails because it arrives once. A check tells you what is wrong in March and by May the business has moved, the plan is stale, and nobody is holding the thread. This is the opposite arrangement: I stay with the same business month after month, and the plan changes when the business changes.
It is strategy and planning, not execution. I decide with you what should happen and in what order, and your team builds it. That is deliberate. An outside person writing your copy and pushing your releases is slower and more expensive than an outside person telling you exactly what to build.
Four companies at a time, and the number is a real ceiling rather than a marketing line. This is my hours, and hours do not scale. When all four places are taken the page says so, and the next one opens when somebody leaves.
What lands
- A growth strategy for the quarter, revisited every month against what actually happened
- Ninety-day planning: what to do, in what order, and what to stop
- A monthly consultation call where we work through the decision in front of you
- Written answers between calls, inside one working day
- Full membership included: every course, every product, and whatever ships next
What you will hold at the end
- A quarter plan you could hand to a new hire and they would know what to do on Monday
- A monthly written record of what moved, what did not, and what changed our mind
- The order of work settled, so the team stops relitigating priorities every fortnight
- Every course and product on the site, included for as long as you are a partner
What I need from you
- Analytics access, or the numbers exported if you would rather not grant it
- Someone on your side who can actually make the changes we decide on
- An hour a month for the call, and honest answers about what is not working
The clock starts when payment and these have both arrived, whichever is later.
Do not take my word for it. Run it yourself.
These are the engines that run inside this engagement, live on this site, free, with no signup. Point one at your own page now.
What you buy is not the checks. It is the reading of them: which one of the findings is actually capping you, in what order to clear them, and what to ignore. The tools give you the list for nothing.
What it covers
The ground it covers, worked on your own numbers rather than on a case study.
Growth strategy
Where the growth is actually going to come from, and what it will cost to get.
Ninety-day planning
The order of work, written so the team can start on it without translating it first.
Business consultation
The monthly call, on whatever decision is in front of you that month.
Membership included
Every course and product on the site, for as long as you are a partner.
Is this the right one for you?
The second list is the useful one. It is the part nobody selling anything has a reason to write.
This is for you if
- Growth has stalled and nobody internally owns the question of why
- You can build things but keep arguing about which thing to build
- You have had a one-off audit and would rather have someone in the room every month
- You want the decision, not another report to file
Not for you if
- You want the work done for you: this is planning, your team executes
- You need it in a week. This is a monthly relationship, and month one is mostly listening
- Nobody on your side has time to act on what we decide, in which case you are buying a document
- You are pre-revenue and pre-product. Come back when there is something to grow
How it works
From the moment you press the button.
- 1
You apply
Tell me the business, the numbers you have, and the decision you are stuck on. If there is no place open I will say so rather than take the application.
- 2
We talk before any money moves
Thirty minutes to work out whether this is the right arrangement. If your problem is a one-off I will tell you and point you at the cheaper thing.
- 3
Month one is diagnosis
I read the site, the funnel and the numbers properly before recommending anything, and the first plan lands at the end of it.
- 4
Then it is monthly
A call, a revised plan, and written answers in between. The plan changes when the business does.
What people who have worked with me say
Written on LinkedIn by the people named, and still there. The brackets mark the only thing edited, which is my name. Nothing else in either is changed.

Questions
Why only four?
Because it is my hours rather than a product, and four is the number I can do properly. A fifth would mean all five getting less.
What if all four places are taken?
The page says so, and you can ask to be told when one opens. I would rather turn you away than take money for attention I do not have.
Is there a contract?
No. It is monthly, and you cancel whenever you want. You keep access to the end of the month you paid for.
Do you do the work as well?
No, and that is the point. I decide with you what should happen and your team builds it. If you need hands rather than direction, this is the wrong thing to buy.
Can I pay by bank transfer?
Yes. Egyptian bank transfer works: you send it, I confirm it, and your month starts. Same terms either way.
Under the service terms, every engagement is paid in full before the work starts.
