Sound familiar?
Busy, but not moving forward.
You’ve built something solid. But lately the business takes more from you than it gives back.
- “Everything comes back to me.”
- “We’re busy, but the profit doesn’t show it.”
- “Good people, unclear roles.”
- “I can’t take two weeks off.”
- “There’s no one at the right level to talk it through with.”
Why it happens
It isn’t a lack of opportunity.
Growth added complexity faster than structure. The parts of the business drifted out of line with each other. And you ended up holding it all together.
That works for a while. Then it becomes the thing in the way. The fix isn’t working harder. It’s putting the structure back, one part at a time.
The Grow Mighty System
One system. Six parts. You at the centre.
Direction is set first. Then People, Profit, Product and Process, worked in 90-day sprints. The Owner sits at the centre, because we work on your role as well as the business.
Direction
Set first, used throughout.
Where the business is going, this year’s goals, and the priorities for the next 90 days.
People
Team, structure and accountability.
Structure, roles, accountability, and the leaders under the owner.
Profit
Margins, pricing and financial discipline.
Margins, pricing, costs, cash and the monthly financial rhythm.
Product
What’s sold, to whom, and how it’s marketed and sold.
What you sell, who you sell it to, and how you market and sell it.
Process
Systems and repeatability.

Owner

What changes
Two outcomes, together.
Profit creates the options. A business that runs without you gives you the life.
The business
- Stronger profit, from margins and pricing you’ve looked at properly
- Three clear priorities every 90 days
- A team that owns more of the day-to-day
- Numbers you trust, in every part of the business
You
- Time back in your week
- Fewer decisions landing on your desk
- Someone at the right level to think it through with
- Options: grow it, step back, or one day sell
How it works
Sprint by sprint. No 12-month lock-in.
Growth Diagnostic
45 minutes on your business. Free.
Growth Snapshot
What we found, in writing, within 48 hours.
Planning Session
We set the priorities and numbers for your first sprint.
90-day sprints
About three hours a month in sessions. Review, then plan the next.
Who we work with
Owner-led businesses with 5–50 staff.
Usually $1M–$10M in revenue, trading five years or more, with the owner still in the middle of everything.
Manufacturing and engineering
Margin by job, production bottlenecks, supervisors stepping up, quoting.
Trades and construction
Job margin, cash flow and retentions, and the owner coming off the tools.
Wholesale, distribution and importing
Pricing, stock and cash, customer concentration, sales roles.
Another owner-led business?
The fundamentals are the same. If the symptoms above sound like yours, it applies.
Not for start-ups, sole traders or corporates, or for owners who want a consultant to do it for them.
Why we built this
Good businesses stall at the same point.
We’ve started, run and grown businesses ourselves. We’ve seen the same pattern in every sector: the business grows, the structure doesn’t, and the owner carries the gap.
Most of the help on offer is either generic advice or a report that sits in a drawer. Owners told us they didn’t want more advice. They wanted a business that works.
So we built a system. Defined outcomes every 90 days, numbers that show progress, and someone alongside you who has done it.
The first step
45 minutes on your business. Then it’s in writing.
The Growth Diagnostic is a free first meeting. We ask about your direction, people, profit, product and process, and find what’s in the way.
Within 48 hours you get a written Growth Snapshot: where the business stands, the two or three things holding it back, and a suggested first 90 days. Yours to keep whether or not we work together.
Growth Snapshot
Where the business is, what’s in the way, and the next 90 days
Prepared for Sample Engineering Ltd · 18 staff · a made-up business
| Direction | Goals live in the owner’s head. No written plan the team has seen. | |
|---|---|---|
| People | Good people. Two supervisors promoted from the floor without clear authority. | |
| Profit | Monthly figures arrive six weeks late. Margin by job isn’t known. | |
| Product | Strong repeat customers, but the top two make up 55% of revenue. | |
| Process | Quoting and scheduling both run through the owner. |
Open the rest of the sample
The three things holding it back
- No one knows which jobs make money, so pricing is a guess.
- Every quote and every schedule change goes through the owner.
- Supervisors carry responsibility without the authority or numbers to act on it.
A suggested first 90 days
- Job costing on every job over $5,000. Number: gross margin by job.
- Hand quoting under $20,000 to the workshop manager. Number: quotes the owner touches.
- A one-page plan and a weekly 30-minute supervisors’ meeting. Number: decisions escalated to the owner.
What working together would look like
A two-hour working session and a one-hour progress session each month, with short check-ins between. A Planning Session at the start of each 90-day sprint.
Questions
What owners ask first.
How much does Grow Mighty cost?
Grow Mighty’s fee is tailored to each business. The Growth Diagnostic is free, and after it Grow Mighty scopes what is needed and gives the owner a monthly figure.
How much time does Grow Mighty take for the owner?
About three hours a month in sessions, plus the agreed actions between them. The purpose of the work is to give the owner time back.
Is there a long contract with Grow Mighty?
No. Grow Mighty works sprint by sprint, one 90-day period at a time, with no 12-month lock-in. Most businesses continue because each sprint builds on the last.
Who is Grow Mighty for?
Grow Mighty is for owner-led New Zealand businesses with roughly $1M–$10M in revenue and 5–50 staff, where growth has slowed and the owner is still involved in most decisions. Typical signs are “busy but not moving forward” and “I can’t step away”.
Is the Growth Diagnostic a sales pitch?
No. The Growth Diagnostic is 45 minutes on your business. Grow Mighty sends a written Growth Snapshot within 48 hours, and it is yours to keep whether or not we work together.
Grow Mighty is a structured business growth system for owner-led New Zealand businesses with 5–50 staff, based in the central North Island.
