Making It Happen is a self-paced productivity and implementation masterclass for owners. Here is what is in it, what it costs, who it suits and who should skip it.

The short answer: start with Quick Wins (US$97) if you need sales ideas this month, Making It Happen (US$297) if you keep planning and not finishing, and Know Your Future (US$497) if you are not sure where the business is heading. Each page lists a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a free 30-minute call is available if you cannot decide.

A disclosure first: Simple-Growth publishes this guide and sells these programs, so read it with that in mind. Prices and guarantees below come from the live sales pages, opened and checked on 13 November 2026. Market: United States. Last updated 13 November 2026.

Why Owners Pick The Wrong Starting Point

In the Federal Reserve Banks' 2026 survey of employer firms, 77% reported rising costs and/or tariff-related costs as a financial challenge, and 56% of firms that sought financing did so to cover operating expenses (Federal Reserve Banks, 2026 Report on Employer Firms; 6,525 responses, fielded 3 September to 14 November 2025; a nationwide convenience sample, not a random one). When costs press, the instinct is to spend on something new. The better first move is to work out which one problem is costing you most, then pick the smallest tool that fixes it.

Four Questions To Pick Your Starting Point

  • Is the problem sales this quarter? Start with Quick Wins.

  • Are you unsure which direction to commit to? Start with Know Your Future.
  • Is it more than one of these? Book the free call and name the one constraint to fix first.

How They Compare With The Alternatives

A self-paced program suits an owner who wants to move at their own speed and spend little to test the approach. It does not replace someone looking at your numbers one to one. If you want a peer room or a longer engagement, compare Vistage, EO or YPO, Strategic Coach or one-to-one coaching costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which program should I buy first?
