You’ve done all the “right things”<\/span><\/h2>\n

…but your business is still not growing the way you want it to.<\/span><\/h3>\n

You’ve found the right physical space to work from.<\/span><\/h3>\n

You’ve hired your employees.<\/span><\/h3>\n

You’ve built a high-quality product or service.<\/span><\/h3>\n

You’ve invested time, money & energy into becoming an expert at what you do.<\/span><\/h3>\n

You’ve worked so hard. You’re so close. <\/span><\/h2>\n

But it’s still not working.<\/span><\/h2>\n

You wish that your business was easier & you didn\u2019t have to spend your valuable time worrying about all the \u201cproblems\u201d that come with running a business. <\/p>\n

\n

The employee challenges weren\u2019t part of the plan. <\/p>\n

\n

You don\u2019t feel like you can rely on your team, even though they may feel like part of the family. You value your team, but they\u2019re not delivering the results that you need to cover your investment in them.<\/p>\n

\n

You\u2019re lying awake at night wondering why you can\u2019t get them to do their job, even if you\u2019ve given clear instructions a dozen times. <\/p>\n

\n

Mistakes are expensive, but they just keep happening no matter how hard you try to iron out your systems & processes. <\/p>\n

\n

Financial stress is draining your energy & your bank balance. You\u2019re always the last one to get paid\u2026 even though you\u2019re working so damn hard.<\/p>\n

\n

You have a bigger vision for your business. But you know you\u2019ve taken it as far as you can on your own.<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s time to get help. <\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why you\u2019re here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

come and meet us<\/p>\n

We are partners in your growth, so you don’t have to do it alone.<\/h2>\n

We see what\u2019s really going on in your business. <\/span><\/h2>\n

And we\u2019re not afraid to speak up.<\/span><\/h2>\n

We\u2019ll give you the bold truth to get your business from where you are today to where you want to be.<\/p>\n

\n

We use your day-to-day experiences to create changes that actually stoke your business growth. Everything you\u2019re learning along the way is just a bonus. It\u2019s the action that matters.<\/p>\n

\n

Everything we do starts creating change. It\u2019s a snowball effect. It builds clarity & momentum.<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019re not creating calm in your business. We\u2019re creating clarity in a fast paced environment so that when things get hard, you know which direction to go.<\/p>\n

\n

Because, truthfully, growing a business isn\u2019t always easy. Sometimes, it\u2019s freaking hard.<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019re going to give you everything you need to make strong, confident decisions that move your business forward\u2026 even if that feels challenging right now. We want you to be able to run your business more profitably and with less stress.<\/p>\n

\n

You don\u2019t need another \u201ca-ha moment.\u201d You need to know how to take good information & put it into practice.<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s your business. You\u2019re the boss. <\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find no one-size-fits-all approaches here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meet your coaches.<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve helped grow businesses<\/span> across 20+ industries<\/span> for over 15+ years.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Rich\"Rich<\/span><\/p>\n

Rich Grof<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>–<\/span> <\/strong>Co-Founder & Performance Coach<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Rich hosts a YouTube channel with 1,000,000+ views. He works with business owners, executives & sales people looking for the simple, honest truth about how to achieve their goals. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Rich does not believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. He looks at the real-life dynamics in your business, breaks down your barriers to success and elevates you to the next level of achievement. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

He has personally coached over 3,000 people<\/strong> to achieve their goals with greater ease. The genius is in the simplicity of the systems & programs he\u2019s developed. <\/p>\n

\"Phalan\"Phalan<\/span><\/p>\n

Phalan Grof<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>– Co-Founder & Performance Coach<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Phalan empowers small business owners to be better leaders within their organisation, so that together they can produce crazy results.<\/p>\n

\n

Her clients rave about her ability to uncover the \u201cbig picture\u201d, intuitively know when to push further, and are drawn to her authentic, no B.S. approach to business growth & sales. Ultimately, she believes in people-powered business growth & using the talented people you\u2019ve hired to drive your business forward. <\/p>\n

\n

Through working with her, Phalan\u2019s clients have experienced double digit growth<\/strong> consistently, year after year<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Our goal is for you to…<\/h3>\n

Get 5x back what you invest with us<\/span> <\/strong>even if it’s just 5x the time & energy.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here’s what our clients say…<\/span><\/h2>\n

“They see issues we didn’t know existed.”<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our business was growing very rapidly \u2013 we were on a runaway train and they helped us put it back on the tracks. Having a team of experts behind us has given us the confidence to run our business smoothly. They guide us and have opened our eyes to issues within our business that we didn\u2019t even know existed. We now see Stoke Growth as an integral part of our business and I look forward to every coaching session.<\/p>\n

“It works & it works well.”<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rich always has the best advice and best strategies. But most of all, when I use his advice or strategies, it works and it works well. It\u2019s as though he has worn my shoes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As a young entrepreneur, I\u2019ve faced many challenges and have often felt like giving up. After speaking with Rich, I always feel as though my fire and passion for my business has been reignited. I cannot recommend Rich enough. He\u2019s not like your typical sales coach, he\u2019s much more than that.<\/p>\n

Arianna Swietlinski<\/span><\/strong>\/\/ Sales<\/span><\/p>\n

“The results are phenomenal.”<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Phalan and Rich removed my overwhelm. Since working with Phalan and Rich, I\u2019ve built processes that support how my brain can grow my business. I am no trying to grow using skill sets that I don\u2019t have, but enhancing the ones that I do \u2013 and the results are phenomenal. I am running a business that\u2019s now growing the right way, for me. For anyone struggling to achieve different results, Stoke Growth can help you achieve them. Thank you!<\/p>\n
