Everything You Need To Clarify Which Growth Opportunities Are Worth Pursuing
The complete system to evaluate, prioritize, and plan your business growth — even if you feel overwhelmed, unfocused, or unsure what to do next.
I know why you’re here. . .
I’ve worked with dozens of founders and business owners. Like you, they’re smart, resourceful individuals pouring everything they’ve got into growing their business.
But growing a business is like trying to fly a plane while you’re building it. Every decision feels like a tradeoff between creating momentum and keeping the whole thing from falling apart.
Your inner dialogue probably sounds similar to what I’ve heard from all of my clients:
🔄 Frustration & Overwhelm
“Everyone’s giving advice but none of it seems to apply to my business.”
“I’m growing, just not fast enough.”
“Just keeping the business running consumes all of my time.”
⁉️ Decision Paralysis
“I have several growth opportunities, but I’m not sure where I should focus.”
“How do I sequence my growth opportunities so they are sustainable?”
“When is it time to hire? Increase marketing spend? Raise prices? Change direction?”
📈 Desire for Growth & Clarity
“How do I know if this is a distraction or a real opportunity?”
“I want to be confident in saying this is the plan, and here’s why.”
“I wish someone could help me understand how everything fits together.”
. . .and I know how to help you!
I created Growth Mode to help business owners like you gain the clarity, focus and planning they need to grow their companies. In just four weeks, you will have a growth plan you can confidently execute with a clear vision toward the future.
What is Growth Mode?
Introducing a 4-week training program that teaches business owners how to make clear, confident growth decisions by evaluating opportunities through a proven framework and building a plan they can measure and trust.
Through weekly live sessions, simple frameworks, and practical templates, you’ll learn how to:
Evaluate your growth opportunities with clarity
Prioritize the ones that actually align with your long term vision and goals
Build a plan you can act on and measure over time
✅ High quality videos packed with real-world examples and guided walkthroughs of the Growth Mode system
✅ Build your personalized growth plan using proven templates designed by a fractional CFO
✅ Get direct feedback on your weekly assignments to ensure you’re applying the framework to your business correctly
✅ Receive personalized coaching with one 30-minute 1:1 session per week — plus asynchronous support as you need it
✅ Plug into a private founder community where others in Growth Mode share ideas, ask questions, and support each other
This Is Not a Passive Course — It’s a Strategic 4-Week Sprint
Growth Mode isn’t about theory. It’s a focused, action-driven program designed to help you make real progress in your business — right now.
Over four weeks, you’ll use the Growth Mode Framework to define, evaluate, and prioritize the opportunities that will move your business forward — with direct support from Les Blake (founder, CFO, and creator of Growth Mode) and a cohort of fellow builders.
During the four weeks you will:
🔍 Clarify Your Business Goals
Define what growth means for you and your business
🧭 Map Opportunities to Growth Archetypes
Understand the strategy, timeline, and metrics that match each growth path
📈 Evaluate Growth Opportunities
Evaluate each opportunity’s potential with a clear lens for ROI, risk, and resource demands
✅ Prioritize and Plan Confidently
Choose what to focus on and build a plan you can trust
By the end you will have an actionable roadmap to scale your business.
What Happens If I Don’t Enroll?
You’ll still be busy — but not necessarily growing in the direction or speed you want.
Without a clear framework, growth decisions are made haphazardly if at all.
You second-guess. You start and stop. You chase what’s urgent instead of what’s strategic.
And a year from now?
You’ll have worked just as hard but will your business be where you want it to be?
Growth Mode is how you break that cycle.
It’s a chance to step back, get clear, and move forward with confidence not chaos.
4 weeks are going to pass either way.
What you do with them is up to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this for?
Business owners of all types (small to medium size business owners, startup founders, solopreneurs and more) who are tired of guessing their way through growth decisions and want a proven system to evaluate opportunities, reduce overwhelm, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
What kind of business is this best suited for?
Growth Mode is designed to work across industries and business types. Whether you run a service business, product company, SaaS startup, or brick-and-mortar shop or any combination. The core frameworks apply to all because the system focuses on how to think about growth: by defining your real opportunities, evaluating tradeoffs, and building a clear plan.
Will I get personalized feedback on my business?
Yes. You’ll get direct 1:1 feedback during weekly coaching sessions, plus asynchronous support between sessions to help you apply the framework to your specific business and challenges.
What’s the time commitment?
3-4 hours per week total. You’ll need 1-2 hours for the video sessions and 1:1 time. Expect an additional 1-2 hours to complete the assignments.
How long do I have access to the course material?
You’ll have permanent access to the course materials.
How technical do I need to be? Formulas and spreadsheets are not my thing.
No worries — you don’t need to be a spreadsheet wizard. You’ll get easy-to-use templates and clear guidance to help you focus on strategic thinking, not complex math. The system is designed to support real business owners, not Excel pros.
What software or platform access will I need?
All you need is access to Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides) and Slack. Everything else is provided — no fancy tools or subscriptions required.
What is the refund policy?
You’re covered by a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee starting from the course start date. To protect the value of the materials and IP, a 10% refund fee applies. If it’s not the right fit, you can walk away with no questions asked.
Can I order multiple seats for my team or co-founder?
Yes! Growth Mode works even better when key decision-makers go through it together. If you’d like to enroll your co-founder or team members reach out to [email protected] for discounted pricing.
Can this really work for me?
Absolutely — if you’re willing to do the work. Growth Mode isn’t theory. It’s a practical system built from real-world experience helping business owners clarify their goals, evaluate opportunities, and take action. Whether you’re overwhelmed by too many ideas or stuck with too few, this framework will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Is there a payment plan?
No, we do not currently offer a payment plan due to the already discounted, early cohort pricing.
No — sharing is always optional. You can apply the framework privately without disclosing sensitive details. However, please note that expert help (1:1 coaching and async support) and community feedback will be limited if you choose not to share specifics. Anything you do share directly with me in coaching calls or async direct messages will be kept fully confidential.
What makes this different from other growth or strategy courses?
Most courses give you generic tactics or overwhelming playbooks. Growth Mode gives you a decision-making system. Instead of chasing every shiny idea, you’ll learn how to evaluate growth opportunities through a clear framework, prioritize what actually moves the needle, and build a plan that fits your unique business.
What if I have more questions?
Reach out to [email protected] if you have any other questions.
