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.

What Is Slowing You Down Right Now?

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.

The Three Programs At A Glance

  • Quick Wins, $97. The problem: sales are flat and you want something you can try this week. You get 15 sales strategies as self-paced video, a workbook, pre-made templates and a key points summary. After it, you are the owner with a short list of changes already running. See Quick Wins.
  • Making It Happen, $297. The problem: the plan exists and nothing moves. Six modules cover beating procrastination, productivity systems, prioritizing, implementing strategy, building accountability and getting it done, with templates and a key points summary. After it, you are the owner whose plans turn into results. See Making It Happen.
  • Know Your Future, $497. The problem: you are busy, and you cannot say where the business is heading. Six modules take you from your destination, to your ideal business, to what makes you unique, your why and your milestones, with a workbook to complete as you go. After it, you are the owner who can say where you are going and why. See Know Your Future.

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.

Who Should Skip Each One?

  • Skip Quick Wins if your sales are fine and the real problem is that the team or the owner cannot get things done. Start with Making It Happen.
  • Skip Making It Happen if you do not yet have a plan worth executing. Execution on the wrong plan is just faster waste. Start with Know Your Future.
  • Skip Know Your Future if you need cash in the door within weeks. A destination matters, but start with Quick Wins and come back to it.
  • Skip all three if you want someone to work with you one-on-one on your numbers, or you run a team that needs a shared operating system. A coach, or a system such as EOS, may fit better. Here is how to choose between coaching and an operating system.

What Does An Owner Say About Working With Kevin?

"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."

Abeille (a one-on-one coaching client, quoted word for word)

Five Questions To Ask Before You Buy Any Program

  • What is the one problem this fixes, and how will I know it worked?
  • Who built it, and what have they run, sold or coached themselves?
  • What is the total price, what is the refund policy, and what are the terms?
  • How long does it take to see a first result?
  • What happens if I get stuck?

Frequently Asked Questions

Which program should I start with?

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.

Are the programs made for US owners?

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.

Is there a refund?

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.

How is this different from a coach or a peer group?

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.

Do I need to buy all three?

No. Each one stands alone. Many owners start with one and add another later.

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.
