Running a Business is Easy, Growing a Business is Hard.
This is because to grow, you must either take market share from others or create new markets.
Simply put, you must do hundreds of things well to grow a business, including:
1. Have a strong strategic plan with a long-term (3-5 years) vision to build towards
2. Attract and keep top people in your senior staff and employees
3. Develop excellence in execution, operations, and customer service (process and systemization)
4. Find strong product-market fit, marketing, messaging and branding
5. Select the best markets and customers for you to target and expand into more markets

Meet Bob Norton: Your Expert Business Growth Partner
Bob Norton has coached hundreds of CEOs and executives and trained thousands more. He has built and sold two nine-figure companies, achieving four exits that returned over $1 billion in profits to investors. As a seasoned CEO and serial entrepreneur, he offers firsthand experience and proven success.
Before becoming a CEO and Business and Executive Coach, Mr. Norton managed over 40 product launches. As VP of Engineering and CTO at Thomson-Reuters, he ran all product development and launched five major, successful products in a row. Then he founded and grew three other companies.
Mr. Norton has worked with hundreds of clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to startups to improve CEO, executive, and manager performance. He specializes in implementing high-performance cultures, growth and scaling and better innovation and marketing.
As a CEO since 1989, he has the “Been There, Done That” experience to guide any CEO, executive, or business to success. Unlike most coaches and mentors, Mr. Norton has actually run and grown six companies for decades as a CEO. He also raised over $40 million in early-stage capital for his own startups and helped clients raise nearly $1 billion for their ventures. With over another $1 billion in M & A exits for clients just while he was there helping – not later.
Mr. Norton shares success strategies few people know. Bringing strong life experience, wisdom, creativity, and intellectual horsepower to every engagement is the key to results. Unlike a psychologist, a good adviser provides strong input and point of view from their real-world experience and expertise. – not just questions (the “Socratic Method”). Why would anyone take advice from a business coach that never ran and grew their size business?
You need a coach, or mentor, who has done exactly what you want to achieve before. If you want to grow a significant business, you need someone who actually did that. Someone who has already been where you want to be in the future.
“Modeling” is leveraging other’s experience. Would you hire a football coach who has never played football? A brain surgeon who just graduated without any experience? Not on your life! Yet many people do exactly this today due to widespread coaching “certification programs.” These cannot ever give anyone the experiential learning needed in arts (not skills) like management, leadership, strategy, finance, operations, marketing, innovation, and more.
These “arts” are learned only via 10,000+ hours of experience doing them. This is neuroplasticity (“Blink”). Why humans have had 5-year apprenticeships for thousands of years for most professions. This is not just memorizing some facts. Boilerplate coaching processes and software platforms will never cut it for advising high-growth business opportunity CEOs.
Mr. Norton has appeared on major business shows, national TV networks, and hundreds of podcasts as an expert in scaling, entrepreneurship, and management science, and has given lectures at top universities like Babson too.

You Have Just Started Your Climb Up That Mountain
Often CEOs think they “have it made” when they close a round of institutional capital. However, the odds are still more than 80% against them, with only 1 in 6,300 companies ever reaching $100M in sales for a large exit.
Most VCs play the “Home Run Game” meaning if you are not rapidly successful, they walk away without further funding (risk). Statistically, all their profits come from the 10% that are massively successful. Yet real innovation (and disruption) usually requires iteration, pivots, and learning in the marketplace. And that means time and money.
Look at the statistics on the right, showing that on average only 48% of venture-backed companies will get a second round of financing, and 30% of those (14.4%). Ones that exit early rarely have strong exits, as you need to grow the company for 2-3 years to reach a 9-figure exit.
Real sustainable competitive advantage comes from building teams, proprietary IP, processes, and lots of hard work by smart, dedicated people.
We can even find some of your growth limiters in a single call. With immediate, actionable solutions.
