“Not merely coaching from the sidelines. We provide holistic, hands-on help to give you the clarity, direction, and support you need to move your business forward.”

(Alex and Fabian, Growth Pathways)

Which Of These Questions Or Concerns Is
Prompting You To Look For Clearer Direction To
Move Forward In Business And Life?

 

Like many business owners looking for clarity to move your business (and life) to the next level, are you…

  • Feeling like you’ve hit a ceiling – not sure how to best move forward… and wish you could get guidance from someone who has navigated the 7 to 8-figure breakthrough dozens of times?
  • Busy making sales but always seem to be short of money (sometimes even find it hard to pay staff, super and tax)… and wish you had more predictable cash flow and profits?
  • Never seem to have the information you need to make decisions about your future (flying blind and perhaps even guessing)… and wish you had a financial dashboard where you see exactly how your business is going in real-time?
  • Confused about which areas of your business to focus on… and want help to identify the 80/20 of your products and services so you have clarity around what to do next?
  • Get too many backward-facing reports… and want more proactive planning and guidance to take your business (and personal wealth) to the next level?
  • Feeling stuck and unable to see the forest for the trees… and wish you had someone to give you a satellite view of your business (and competitive market), and a strategic plan that shows what to do next to move your business forward?

You’re not alone. In fact, many business owners have these same questions and concerns. That’s why we developed a no-obligation, Free Strategy Session where you can see what Strategic Planning can do for your business (and your life).

How Our Strategic Planning Helps You Move Your Business And Life Forward

We all need a plan. As Benjamin Franklin said, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” But the problem with most strategic advisors and coaches is they merely bark instructions from the sidelines (often too little, too late). And too few have the holistic knowledge or practical experience to be of much help. 

An unsuitable Strategic Plan can lead you in the wrong direction – putting everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve at risk. However, the right Strategic Planning can help you:

  • Accurately analyse where you are – in business and in life
  • Get clarity around what you’d like to achieve in the next 1, 5 and 10 years
  • Create a realistic, practical plan to get there
  • Identify points of leverage to accelerate your progress
  • Build contingencies that protect your achievements
  • Support you with systems and services that do much of the work for you

Here’s some of the things we do differently to help you create a plan to get the business (and life) you really want:

Created To Be Used Not Framed

Too many business plans are bloated with theoretical waffle (straight from the pages of a textbook). They may look impressive when you show them to people (may even win an award). But when it comes to the real world, they mostly get put in a drawer rather than put into practice. Our plans are straight to the point, easy to action, and designed to get real results in your business.   

Specific For Your Business

It’s okay to start with a planning template. But too many advisors provide generic copy-and-paste advice that has little to do with your business. Not only do we take time to interview you and your team, but we also dive into your data and develop a strategic plan that is specific to your business.

Real Solutions Rather Than Band-Aids

Strategic planning too often focuses on temporarily easing symptoms (like poor cash flow). We analyse the driving forces behind the numbers and identify the root causes so you can fix the problems for good. 

Hands-On Help To Implement

Too many advisors proudly present an impressive plan (aka complicated) for which they charge an arm and a leg, and then leave you to try to apply it to your business. Good luck! We work with you step-by-step to put each recommendation into action so you can see real results in your business. 

Holistic Planning For Real Results

Strategic planning is often limited in scope to a narrow range of disciplines. Our planning provides holistic guidance in bookkeeping (including data capture and compliance), accounting (including data analysis, tax strategy, and business optimisation), finance (including loans and financial structures), operations (including staffing and payroll optimisation), sales and marketing, and investing (to secure your current income and build future wealth).   

Big Five Expertise With Coalface Experience

Naturally, we have the formal qualifications other Strategic Advisors have. But we also have more than 70 years of combined experience on the coalface of real businesses. We’ve navigated the road bumps before and can help you create a growth pathway for your business (and life).  

Our Best Advice

Whether you’re just looking for a one-off Strategic Plan, or a holistic support service to scale your business and life, we invite you for a Free Strategy Session where will share our best advice.

How Our Proven Process Works

Analysis

We go through your historical data with a fine-tooth comb to understand (and show you) exactly where your business is right now. I know it can feel a little awkward. But there’s no need to worry – we won’t judge you. On the contrary, this SWOT Analysis will help you turn weaknesses into strengths and vulnerabilities into opportunities.

Repair

We won’t merely tell you what’s missing the mark in your business. We’ll roll up our sleeves to help you set things right. We’ll help you plug profit leaks, smooth cash flow lumps, improve and create new systems, optimise payroll, slash expenses, and boost productivity and profits. Together, these improvements may add 4, 5, or even 6 figures to your bottom line.

Nurture

Now that the past problems are under control, it’s time to create systems that enable your business to operate and grow on cruise control, so things run smoothly without your everyday input. This is where you enjoy true business freedom. And when you’re ready, we can accelerate towards step #4.

Grow

With your business engine now optimised for performance (with proven processes in place), it’s time to open the throttle. We’ll help you identify and capitalise on growth opportunities through more effective sales and marketing so you can scale with predictability.

Invest

While your business is now a cash machine, it’s prudent to build multiple streams of income. This is where we help you use potential tax savings and extra profits to diversify so you can secure your current lifestyle and build lasting wealth for your family.

Having a single point of contact really provides comfort and the assurance of professional guidance and support.

Daniel

I recently used Growth Pathways as my lender for a new investment opportunity. Alex & Fabian were not only helpful but very informative due to their knowledge in the industry. They spent a considerable amount of time going through all of the details with me to make sure that I understood all of my options in depth before proceeding. I would highly recommend Growth Pathways to anyone looking for finance. These guys are very good!

Ben

“Fabian is a godsend to our business. He provides the attention to detail for not only bookkeeping matters, but also government compliance, to make sure your business is covered in all those aspects that you may not have been knowledgeable on. I not only would recommend him, I think he is absolutely essential!”
