Haven't paid yourself properly in months and haven't said so out loud? You're far from alone, and the silence is doing more damage than the number itself.
Most owners do not have a strategy problem. They have a doing problem: the plan exists, the whiteboard is full, and the month still disappears into urgent work. Making It Happen is the Simple-Growth program built for that gap. It is a self-paced video masterclass, priced at $297 (one payment, instant access), with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Last updated 10 November 2026.
Disclosure. Simple-Growth sells this program. Everything about its contents and price below comes from the live sales page, read on 9 November 2026. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
The sales page lists six areas: beating procrastination, productivity systems, prioritizing, implementing strategy, building accountability, and getting things done. It includes pre-made templates, a key points summary, real-world examples and Kevin's tips. It is written for ambitious small-business owners in the United States and New Zealand.
Business owners now have more tools than ever. The US Census Bureau's Business Trends and Outlook Survey found that 19.8% of US firms reported using AI as of May 3, 2026, and that less than 20% of firms with four or fewer employees reported using it. The point is not about AI. It is that having access to something and building it into a weekly routine are different things. Implementation is a skill, and it can be learned.

| You run your business solo or with a small team and have no one holding you to account | You need a team-wide operating system with a coach on site |
| You want templates and a repeatable weekly routine | You want live, one-on-one feedback (book coaching instead) |
| You prefer to learn at your own pace for under $300 | You have already used a productivity method for 90 days and it works |
| Option | Typical shape | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| A productivity book | Low cost, self-directed | You are disciplined and need ideas |
| Making It Happen ($297) | Video masterclass, templates, summary, 30-day guarantee | You need a structure for execution |
