YOUR Local Business Eco-System

We've been doing business support programmes for over 15 years and have realised that the two biggest challenges for business owners are:

1: Lack of consistent sales

2: Feeling alone and unsure what to do.

It doesn't matter at what stage, you probably see yourself in this.

My growth Pod is set up to deal with these two issues first. It is also there to bring people up to speed on running a business. Our experience is people are very good at their product/service, however have less knowledge when if comes to running a business. It doesn't have to be complicated or hard. Our elearning library and Fast Track courses are built to deal with those challenges. Once you have a better idea of how to run your business, it becomes far easier, less stressful and you'll feel in more control of it all.

Yes you can. There is a complete messaging system where you can contact people directly. Our system will email the person you contacted to let them know they have a message.

You will have access to everyone in your local area. If you want a wider area that is possible for a small fee.

This is a business forum. So you can post what is happening in your business, good news stories etc.

You can also ask for help, post your job or projects that you need help on.

You can start a conversation on a business related topic. You can also include photos and videos.

As an added bonus, you can link your facebook page to your account and then anything you post on the forum will also go up on facebook automatically. Just a little extra added bonus!

We have a full suite of webinars and workshops that you can utilise. We also have programmes for start up business, retail, food and a fast track programme for bigger businesses that want to scale.

You can see an example of what is available on our eLibrary by clicking here. Please note we add to this collection on a regular basis.

If you want to know more about our more in-depth programmes please scroll up to the mail menu and click on the products tab and then chose the programme that interest.

Yes you can for a small monthly fee. We are adding more regions every month so if we haven't got your's check back regularly. You can see the basic pricing we have here.

There could be an unlimited number of Pods. It really depends on your region and the business population. If you are in a more rural area your region will be bigger so that you have the same access as someone in say London. Remember, each pod can have up to 25 members so in a population area of 50,000 businesses there is potential for lots of pods.

If you are not enjoying your pod then please contact your Growth Pod Manager who will be able to swap you to a different pod.

A lot of our services are free. However, depending on your business size and the services you want the pricing will be different. Very much like a plug and play type of system. To make it as easy as possible for you, we have a comparison chart that you can access here.

Yes we do have a guarantee for every service that we offer.

The eLibrary membership has a 24 hour free trial.

The Growth Plan Membership has a 48 hour free trial.

All of our online training programmes have a 7 day guarantee.

The Growth Pod Membership has a full 14 day free trial guarantee.

We do not charge your card until your trial ends. 

Your local Growth Pod is about learning and growing together. It is important for each pod that there is stability and you get to know your pod members. That takes time and group participation.

We also have a number of steps for you to take with your business. For instance a completely new start up would not join a pod immediately. We want you to get the foundations of your business right first, which is why we have the StartUp Accelerator.  It takes time to go through this stage. Then once ready you will be invited to join your most suitable Pod.

Further, we have themes for each pod meeting which change over the year. Therefore, if you are only in the pod for a short period of time, then you lose the benefit of learning about the other themes.

Growing a business is a long term plan. It takes time to get it right. It takes time for you to build up your skills. It takes time to build up the right connections. A year is a good starting point, though we do expect that you will be so delighted with My Growth Pod that you'll be happy to stay with us much longer than that!

You do not have to join a local pod, even though that's where people often get the best results. If you prefer to just have platform access that's fine. To help you decide here is our pricing comparison table.

There are lots of very good business support programmes out there. We would like to stress that they are not actually free. They are paid for by either the government, local council or large corporation. They pay for you.

While there can be great benefit from them (and we recommend you participate in everything you can) we find that they tend to be very generic and very much geared towards light touch support, rather than in-depth one to tone personal support.

The very in-depth programmes are only open to a small number of businesses and so difficult to get onto.

My Growth Pod aims to solve that challenge. We are able to bring a large number of businesses up to speed quickly and are also able to provide the one to one support that can last you for years, not just a few sessions. Its a win:win for you.

We also have an online platform that connects everyone, we have an extensive library of webinars and workshops AND we have the growth plans. Currently we are the only platform that provides these. That Growth Plan is very powerful and gives you exactly what you need based on the challenges you have. All of this available 24/7.

You must decide whether this is a good idea for you. You're probably a person that is ambitious and wants to earn a stable income from your business. You also want control over your life and the freedom to chose what you do and when.

My Growth Pod has been designed to provide just that.

Everything you need to grow a business in one place.

Online-mini series that fast track your growth.

Access to a community allowing you to learn and grow your sales.

An opportunity to become known locally, Support the local economy and really be seen by potential customers.

Saving your month (even years) of trying to get your business right.

You will worry and stress less once you have the right tools in your bag.

You get to be part of a group of other business owners who will support and help you. You'll never feel alone.

The start up accelerator can take you anywhere from 1 - 3 months depending on what you have in place and how quickly you implement the steps.

We have created an accelerator that gives you a simple structure that anybody can follow. You have online tutorials and cheat sheets, you have growth plans and you have the support of your Growth Manager who will make sure you overcome any challenges you face.

Not surprisingly, we have a programme for our Growth Manager and Our Growth Pod Leaders, to ensure they have the skills and experience that you need.

The Growth Pod Managers are mostly all consultants already. It is their day job to help businesses grow. They all own their own business and so also know what it is like to be in your shoes.

When they come on board, they go through a 3-month training programme ensuring they are up to speed on everything and they understand how to best serve your needs. Your Growth Manager is also the person that will be quickly able to connect you to the contacts you need to get your business moving.

The Growth Pod Leaders are all business owners like you. They too go through a specially designed training programme and also have the skills to lead and manage the pod and the sessions to ensure everyone has a voice and is supported.

Once you have been in a Growth Pod for a minimum of 6 months and understand how it works, then you can contact your local Growth Pod Manager do discuss you starting your own Pod.

You will need to complete the training and will need to attend the regular update meetings with us so you understand the new themes and how to best support your Pod.

You can invite new members into your Pod, though our marketing is quite extensive and often time we can direct new people to you (through Your Growth Manager).

Being a Growth Pod Manager is a business opportunity where you can grow and earn a stable income year on year.

Please note that each Growth Manager is responsible for a particular geographical region and we will only have one Growth Manager for each region.
