You've run the numbers four times and still haven't decided. It's not the decision that's the problem — it's that you're making it with no one to pressure-test your thinking.
Pick Quick Wins ($97) if you need more sales this month. Pick Making It Happen ($297) if you have a plan and it keeps stalling. Pick Know Your Future ($497) if you are busy every day and cannot say where the business is heading. If you are not sure which one is yours, book a free call first.
A disclosure first: Simple-Growth publishes this guide and sells these programs, so you are reading a seller. That is why it also tells you who should skip each one and when a different kind of help fits better. Checked 3 November 2026. Market: United States. Prices are in US dollars, one payment, as shown on each sales page today.
Most owners do not lack ideas. You are busy, the plan sits in a drawer, and another quarter goes by. A Bank of America Small Business Owner Spotlight, reported by Allwork.Space on 18 November 2025, found 74% of US owners forecast revenue growth, while three in five were affected by labor shortages and several were working more hours to cover the gaps (the article does not state the sample size or survey dates). Wanting growth is easy. Finding the hours and the focus to act on it is the hard part.
If you leave that gap open, another year goes by of being the busiest person in the building and still not knowing whether the business is moving toward the life you want. The old rule says more effort fixes it. It rarely does. Finding the one thing that is actually holding you back, then fixing that first, usually does.
Each one is self-paced, comes with instant access, and carries a 30-day money-back guarantee: if it isn't useful, you ask for a refund.
"Kevin has been a game changer for us. I had tried a couple of high-profile US entrepreneur programs but found these just talked about 'mindset', whereas Kevin gives practical advice to grow your business that you can implement immediately."
Brett
Abeille (a one-on-one coaching client, quoted word for word)
Start with the problem you feel this week. Sales flat: Quick Wins. Plans stalling: Making It Happen. No clear direction: Know Your Future. If two feel true, pick the one that costs you the most each month.
The sales pages are written for ambitious owners in New Zealand and the United States, and prices are in US dollars. Kevin D'Ambros-Smith is based in Auckland and works with US owners online.
Each sales page states a 30-day money-back guarantee: if it isn't useful, you ask for a refund. Read the terms on the page before you buy.
These are self-paced and fixed-price, so you work at your speed without a monthly commitment. A coach works with you one-on-one on your numbers. A peer group, such as Vistage, meets monthly and requires an application; its site lists no public price.
No. Each one stands alone. Many owners start with one and add another later.
Be the owner who picks the right first step and gets it moving this week.
Not sure which fits? Book a free 30-minute conversation and you will leave knowing which one to start with, or whether to start with none of them.
