On his episode of the 'Lead. Grow. Live.' Podcast, John Hitter of Pelican State Running talks about his methodology in the context of giving individual attention to each of his runners.

Jeff's approach to coaching at Company Growth Academy is similar because it doesn't stop at the owner/leadership level, but permeates the entire team to ensure everyone shares the same vision and is alignment with the company's mission.

This has proven to be a more effective coaching method and after listening to John's episode, certainly appears to have applications outside the world of business, too.

Business leaders have the tall task of meeting their individual team members where they are.

That means leading individuals the way they need to be lead, which is oftentimes the most effective leadership method.

One of the major components of how we help companies build value is by developing their people.

And so without an alignment of the company's purpose with each of the members of company's team, there's a major disconnect that holds both the person and the company back.

If you're an entrepreneur and want to develop both your team and your company in alignment with each other, then we can help!

Entrepreneurs who build a service business often find themselves navigating three roles:
☑️ Leader
☑️ Manager
☑️ Technician

This means that a lot of times, the entrepreneur IS the service. As in the business revolves around the owner for major decisions and operational productivity.

Building a company that can operate independent of the owner's direct involvement creates massive opportunities for the entrepreneur - not only in terms of freedom and availability to focus on more meaningful tasks, but in terms of building an attractive company that provides a healthy, wealthy exit.

That's exactly what Company Growth Academy helps entrepreneurs build: a company that gives provides meaningful value and honors the years they spent working toward this goal.

If you own a business and you're looking to build value that creates efficiency and opportunity for growth, then send us a DM.

If you acquired an account that tripled your annual revenue, would you be ready to embrace that much growth?

As Cherie Hebert of BBR Creative mentions in her episode, it creates a 'forced growth' where things need to change in order to level up.

That could mean hiring more people, expanding your offerings, or getting creative with how you operate.

Jeff Martin, CEPA recently sat down with Joshua Wilson and Jude David of The Deal Podcast to talk about how to exit a company successfully.

Oftentimes, 'exit' doesn't have to mean leaving the company, but simply exiting the role.

The conversation unveiled a major truth that all entrepreneurs need to be aware of: a company that is dependent on one person (you) will suffer a tremendously lower valuation compared to companies who have independent, skilled, and empowered teams.
