Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.

Can’t recommend them enough for any level of entrepreneur.

Patrick and his team do a phenomenal job! If I could make one change, it would be to have started with his team earlier.

They have helped our business in so many ways and I cannot wait to see the continued impact they will have in our business. Thank you Greenhouse!

Being introduced to the task of putting together our new building and developing company Mission Homes, Hannah was a huge resource and guiding light. With her understanding of operations, business structure, personal development and a go-getter attitude, she was a major help as Integrator. With her help, it allowed myself and our team to do over 10 million dollars in new construction in our first year.

– Gabe Ridgeway, Mission Homes

1. DIG

Discovery – Intentionality – Goals

Starting with our operations team, let’s narrow your focus and determine exactly what issues you need to solve, get intentional about the outcomes and what your next stage looks like. From there, we and/or our Strategic Partners will help you set your goals and establish a clear plan.

2. SOW

Standards – Onboarding – Work Begins

We’ll cover how the process and our relationship works, clear expectations for everyone involved and the importance of follow through on your growth journey. From here, you start executing and breaking through.

3. TEND

Track – Engage – Nurture – DIG

We’re all about the relationship with the clients we work with.

HOW WE WORK WITH BUSINESS OWNERS AND TEAMS

Your journey starts with our operations team. Upon contacting us, we’ll work with you to set up a call where we will take you through a thorough discovery intake to determine your organizational, team or individual needs.

Along your journey, we’ll be checking in and following up, making sure that you’re getting the value you want and making the progress you expect.

The most overlooked item before exit or succession planning in your business, is to make sure your business has the highest value possible. A valuable business is also a sought-after asset making it more likely that you get an unsolicited offer for your business. This gives you negotiating leverage when you decide to sell.
