ABOUT SCALE UP GROWTH PARTNERS

Our Purpose / Our Mission

Our purpose and passion is to “GROW REMARKABLE – Companies and Leaders”. We help entrepreneurial CEOs & business owners achieve their personal, professional, and financial goals as fast and impactfully as they can.

What Makes Us Who We Are …Our Values

These are the values that guide our business, and our brand. They guide what we do, and who we hire.

THERE IS NO TRY! ONLY DO.

At Scale Up Growth Partners we don’t make excuses—we make progress. We look at each challenge as a new level of growth that only makes each of us better. Nothing is left undone here; we finish what we start and we do what we say—we don’t try.

WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK – WE CARE AND GO THE SECOND MILE.

Our clients are part of our family, and we care deeply about their success. Whether it is a late night call to help them with an urgent matter or offering to spend additional time with a team member that is struggling, we go the 2nd mile because it is who we are.

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW – WE TELL IT LIKE IT IS!

We will guide you to define a clear and measurable set of priorities (the most important thing to focus on during a given time period). We will guide you to will implement a system to ensure these priorities get done! And we guide you to build a culture of Purpose, Alignment and Accountability, and have fun doing it!

BE CURIOUS: ASK “WHY” AND IMPROVE. FOREVER LEARNING!

We never feel like we know everything and have arrived. We never accept things as they are. We are forever learning! We seek constant improvement in ourselves, in those around us, in our process, in everything. We ask, “Why does it need to be done this way?” and seek ways to improve. This helps us give our clients a consistent flow of ideas and patterns to grow their business.

LIFE IS SHORT – ENJOY THE JOURNEY – BALANCE IS KEY.

Along with the joy of making our business successful, our team is passionate about their family and friends, and making new friends. As a team, we work together to make sure that work is covered so people can be there for the special moments – the important rugby game or ballet concert, a graduation, a family reunion or a sick child that needs you.

LIKE WHAT WE STAND FOR? MAKE THIS YOUR EVERYDAY.

Our team’s great, but we’ve got room for one more if you’re interested.

Do I or my company need a Mentor/Coach/Growth Advisor? - “Everybody Needs a Coach”

Everybody needs a coach
– Eric Schmidt, Chairman of Alphabet and former CEO of Google.

“Great coaches lie awake at night thinking about how to make you better. They relish creating an environment where you get more out of yourself. Coaches are like great artists getting the stroke exactly right on a painting. They are painting relationships. Most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how they are going to make someone else better. But that’s what coaches do.” – Ronnie Lott describing Bill Campbell, Coach to Apple and Google leadership teams, amongst many others.
