Grow Your Company

Growth Changes What

Your Business Needs From You.

What does your business need now that it didn’t need before?

The Idea That Shaped the Work

Growth Requires More Than

Doing What Worked Before

Growth brings opportunity, but it also brings challenges that change as a business develops. What made a company successful at one stage may not be enough to carry it through the next. Understanding where your business stands, recognizing what needs to change, and strengthening the capabilities required for the next stage are essential to building a company that can continue to grow, compete, and create lasting value.

Growing With Intention

Understand Where Your Company Is.

Build What It Needs Next.

As a company grows, what once made it successful may no longer be enough. Leadership, structure, processes and priorities must evolve with the business—or growth can create greater complexity, increased dependence on the owner and friction across the organization.


Lane Sloan’s work with business owners led to the 4-Stage Growth Model, a framework for understanding where a company is in its development, the challenges that emerge as it grows and what must change to move forward. The Get Ready 4 Sale Academy puts that framework into practice, helping business owners strengthen their companies for the next stage of growth—and ultimately build a business that is more valuable, more transferable and less dependent on them.

The Academy

Build a Stronger Company. Create More Choices.

Understanding where your company is today is only the beginning. The next question is what needs to change to move it forward. The Get Ready 4 Sale Academy turns that understanding into action, helping owners strengthen their businesses, expand their opportunities for growth and build greater value and choice for the future.

Four Stage Growth Model

Know Your Stage. Understand What Comes Next.

A proprietary framework developed by Lane Sloan, the 4-Stage Growth Model provides the structural spine for the GetReady4Sale Academy. It identifies four distinct stages of development and the shifts in leadership, marketing, organization and processes each one requires, focusing on building the capabilities a business needs to keep evolving.
