• Inexperience (planning, management, utilization)
• Undercapitalization (lack of access to funding sources)
• Landscape (lack of sales, not competitive, location)

These startling statistics strongly indicate the need for purposeful planning for success. In fact, 79% of small business owners attribute measurable financial improvement and marked business success to “purposeful planning.”

The mission and goal of the Grow & Win System is to solve this critical challenge. The system is a set of digital planning tools to help business owners and leaders develop integrated plans (a strategic plan, a sales plan and a marketing plan) at a self-directed pace.

“As a small business owner myself, I fully understand the challenges that stem from figuring out how best to grow and succeed. Having strong connections with business owners and business leaders and witnessing first hand their frustration and overwhelm with this critical component of their business is one of the key reasons I created the Grow & Win System. Until now there has not been a simple way to capture their dreams and goals on paper that shortens the learning curve and accelerates this process,” Njenga explains.

The Grow & Win System includes the three critical plans business owners and business leaders need to achieve results, with easy-to-use planning worksheets and templates that allow business owners and leaders to complete plans in days, not months.

Following three rounds of beta-group testing that identified ways to make the product even more robust and easy to use and a soft launch in January, the product is now available for purchase. The Grow & Win product line includes four editions: Small Business, Small Business in Spanish, Non-profit and Start-ups.

Detailed information about this new product is available online here, with a preview of the Grow & Win process and components provided on this page.
