FOR OWNER-LED BUSINESSES READY FOR THEIR NEXT STAGE OF GROWTH

Move faster. Grow further. Depend less on the owner.

You've built a successful business. Now it's time to build the clarity, focus, and operating discipline to take it further.

The 90-Day Growth Sprint helps you get clear on where you're going, identify what's most likely preventing progress, and focus your team on what matters most over the next 90 days.

$500 one-time. No ongoing commitment. Zero risk.

CURRENT REALITY

YOU BUILT A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.
SO WHY DOES IT STILL NEED SO MUCH OF YOU?

Early in a company's growth, a lot can run through the owner. Decisions happen quickly. Communication is informal. Problems get solved as they appear. For a while, that works.

Then the company grows.

More customers. More employees. More decisions. More moving parts. And the same habits that once created speed can start creating friction.

  • You work harder, but progress feels slower.

  • More decisions keep coming back to you.

  • Priorities compete for attention.

  • Problems you thought were solved keep resurfacing.

The business isn't necessarily broken. It may have simply outgrown the way you've been running it.

have you ever thought

“WE SHOULD BE FURTHER ALONG THAN THIS.”

Sometimes an outside perspective can help revile things that are otherwise hidden because you're so close to the business.

THE NEXT STAGE

THE BUSINESS THAT GOT YOU HERE
MAY NOT BE THE BUSINESS THAT GETS YOU THERE.

As a company grows, what it needs from the owner, the team, and the way work gets done changes.

The informal decisions, habits, and processes that worked at one stage can become the very things that slow down the next.

That doesn't mean you need to change everything.

It means you need to know what needs to change next.

90-DAY growth SPRINT

STOP running RANDOM ACTS OF IMPROVEMENT

There's no shortage of things you could improve. The hard part is knowing which one actually deserves your attention now.

The 90-Day Growth Sprint helps you figure out what matters most, what can wait, and what your team should focus on next.

GROWTH direction

Where are we going?

A clear definition of what meaningful progress looks like over the next 12 months.

PRIMARY CONSTRAINT

What's preventing progress?

The issue most likely limiting the company's ability to move forward.

CONSTRAINT MAP

What's really causing it?

See how the underlying issue connects to the problems showing up across the business.

COST OF THE CONSTRAINT

What is it costing us?

Where measurable, the impact in revenue, margin, capacity, owner time, or opportunity cost.

90-DAY PRIORITIES

What matters most now?

The few changes that deserve your team's attention over the next 90 days.

90-DAY GROWTH PLAN

What happens next?

A practical plan showing what needs to happen, who owns it, how you'll measure progress, and when it should happen.

“Doing the fifth-most-important thing extremely well still leaves the biggest problem untouched.”

SYMPTOM VS REAL PROBLEM

THE PROBLEM you see isn't always the problem you need to solve.

When growth gets harder, the natural reaction is to fix the most visible problem. But the problem demanding your attention may only be a symptom of what's actually holding the business back.

the obvious answer

"we need more leads."

Sales have slowed, so increasing marketing and lead volume seems like the obvious move.

but what if...

the leads aren't the problem?

The real issue may be slow follow-up, weak conversion, poor positioning, or a sales process that isn't making enough of the opportunities you already have.

the obvious answer

"We need more employees."

The team is overwhelmed, deadlines are slipping, and everyone seems to be at capacity.

but what if...

hiring isn't the answer?

A broken workflow, unclear responsibilities, rework, or poor handoffs may be consuming capacity the team already has.

the obvious answer

"we need another manager."

Too many decisions still come back to the owner, so adding another layer of management seems like the obvious answer.

but what if...

Another manager won't fix it?

The real issue may be unclear decision rights, weak accountability, or responsibilities that still ultimately flow back to the owner.

The obvious answer isn't always the right answer. Before you invest more money, people, or time, make sure you're solving the problem that matters most right now.

A Real Example

HER solution to a CASH-FLOW problem WAS MAKING THE BUSINESS HARDER TO GROW

Her business was highly seasonal. Every winter, revenue dropped and cash got tight.

So she did what seemed practical: take whatever work she could get to keep cash coming in. But much of that work produced little profit and required significant involvement from her personally.

She was working constantly without meaningfully improving the cash-flow problem, and the extra work was taking her away from what she actually needed to be doing to build the future of the business.

Take Whatever Work is Available

More Work, Little Cash Flow Improvement

Less Capacity to Build the
Future of the Business

The cash-flow problem was real. The way she was solving it was making the business harder to grow.

Once we understood the pattern, we could focus on the changes that actually mattered: pursuing better-fit projects, making targeted hires, improving the sales process, installing a CRM, and right-sizing the team.

The work isn't finished. But the business is in a much stronger position than when we started, with more of her time and resources going toward building the business she wants instead of simply keeping up with the work in front of her.

"I just got back from my first ever 2-week vacation, the business continued to run, new leads came in, and the team executed it seamlessly. I feel much more confident heading into this winter than I have before."

— Katherine, FOUNDER & CEO

WHY ENGINEERED PATH EXISTS

built from inside the business.

I spent more than two decades building and operating inside growing companies, not advising them from the sidelines.

That experience taught me that growth rarely comes down to one department, one tactic, or one obvious problem. Sales affects operations. Operations affects capacity. Capacity affects what you can sell. And as the business grows, the owner's role has to change with it.

That's why Engineered Path looks at the whole business before deciding what needs to change.

how the sprint works

THE SHIFT METHOD

The 90-Day Growth Sprint follows a five-step process to turn a complicated business into a clear set of priorities.

The process stays consistent. What we uncover, and what you should do about it, depends on YOUR business.

S
Set

Define where you're going.

Get clear on the outcomes that matter and what meaningful progress looks like.

H
Highlight

Find where progress is getting stuck.

Look across the business for the friction, bottlenecks, and dependencies getting in the way.

I
Isolate

Separate symptoms from causes.

Determine what's actually driving the problems you see, and which issues matter most.

F
Focus

Decide what to do next.


Turn what we've learned into a focused set of priorities and a practical 90-day plan.

T
Track

Know whether it's working.

Define the measures and milestones that tell you whether the business is actually moving forward.

WHERE DO WE START?

let's build your next 90 days.

The 90-Day Growth Sprint gives you a structured way to step back from the day-to-day, look at the business as a whole, and decide what deserves your attention next.

Together, we'll clarify where you're going, identify what's standing in the way, and turn what we uncover into a 90-day playbook you can execute with clarity.

No predetermined solution. No generic list of best practices. Just a focused plan built around what your business actually needs next.

improve your business

90-day growth SPRINT

$500 one-time

THE GOAL
Get clear on what matters most and where to focus your time, money, and attention over the next 90 days.

YOU'LL LEAVE WITH
A practical
90-Day Growth Playbook that defines your priorities, the actions to take, and the milestones that tell you whether you're making progress.

THE SPRINT PROCESS

FROM YOUR BUSINESS DATA TO A CLEAR
90-DAY PLAYBOOK

The Growth Sprint is designed to do most of the heavy lifting before we ever meet.

You give us the essentials. We research and diagnose the business. Then we spend 60–90 focused minutes together turning that work into your plan for the next 90 days.

STEP 01 | before we meet

SHARE THE ESSENTIALS

You'll give us a focused snapshot of the business: your website, recent financials, how customers find you, where you want the business to go, and what you believe is standing in the way.

We keep the intake intentionally lean and research the rest ourselves.

STEP 02 | WE DO THE HOMEWORK

DIAGNOSE THE BUSINESS

Before we meet, we look across the business: your market, offer, sales, financials, team, capacity, and customer economics, to understand where growth may actually be getting stuck.

We come into the session with a point of view, not a blank sheet of paper.

STEP 03 | 60–90 MINUTES TOGETHER

BUILD YOUR 90-DAY PLAYBOOK

We'll validate what we've found, fill in what the numbers can't tell us, and identify what matters most right now.

Then we'll turn that diagnosis into a focused 90-Day Growth Playbook with approximately three major priorities, the actions to take, who owns them, and how you'll measure progress.

You leave knowing what to focus on for the next 90 days, and why.

why the sprint pays off

$500 IS small.
90 days on the wrong priority ISN'T.

The expensive part isn't the Sprint. It's spending another quarter putting your time, money, and attention in the wrong places.

We do the homework, pressure-test what's happening in the business, and turn what we find into a focused 90-Day Growth Playbook.

You're not paying for 60–90 minutes of my time. You're paying to make the next 90 days of yours count.

WHAT ONE WRONG PRIORITY
CAN COST

THE WRONG HIRE

Payroll added without fixing the underlying problem.

THE WRONG INVESTMENT

More money committed before fixing what's limiting the return.

THE WRONG FOCUS

Looking back next quarter and realizing you're at the same place.

Avoid one unnecessary hire, investment, or wasted quarter, and $500 becomes a very small number.

THE 90-day CLARITY GUARANTEE

IF WE CAN'T GIVE YOU A CLEAR PATH FOR THE NEXT 90 DAYS, YOU DON'T PAY.

The Sprint should leave you with decisions you can act on, not another document to think about.

  • Clear priorities for the next 90 days

  • Specific actions for each priority

  • Clear ownership and measures of progress

  • The reasoning behind what comes first, and why

If, after we've completed the Sprint, we can't give you a 90-Day Growth Playbook with clear, actionable priorities for moving the business forward, we'll refund the $500 in full.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

Question 1: What happens after the 90-Day Growth Sprint?

You leave with your 90-Day Growth Playbook and can execute it independently. If the work we uncover would benefit from continued support, we'll discuss the appropriate next step with you after the Sprint. There is no obligation to continue.

Question 2: What do I need to provide before the Sprint?

After you purchase, you'll complete a short intake and provide the key information we need to understand the business. We'll review everything before we meet so your session can focus on the decisions that matter—not gathering basic information.

Question 3: How much time will this take from me?

Most of your involvement is the upfront intake plus one 60–90 minute working session. We do the analysis beforehand, then use the session to pressure-test what we're seeing, establish priorities, and shape your 90-Day Growth Playbook.

Question 4: Is this just advice, or will I leave with an actual plan?

You'll leave with a prioritized 90-Day Growth Playbook built around what deserves attention first, what needs to happen next, and how you'll know you're making progress. It's designed to be something you and your team can execute, not a report that sits on a shelf.
