Three Ways to Grow - TGO

Are you looking for a Third Growth Option ℠ ?
The growth strategy you’ve trusted for years might be the very thing keeping your business stuck.
Most companies default to a binary choice:
- Organic growth (get better, faster, cheaper with what you’ve got), or
- Acquisition (buy your way to scale, and hope the integration sticks).
But both come with real headaches—breaking down internal silos, aligning teams, post-merger chaos... Sound familiar?
There’s a Third Growth Option—and it’s driving results that traditional methods miss. I’ve seen it add $26M in revenue by expanding a lighting company into furniture, and double a factory’s revenue just by fixing how they go to market.
This approach focuses on three high-impact levers:
- Expanding into adjacent product categories
- Tapping new distribution channels
- Sharpening your go-to-market execution
The beauty? You can build this engine without burning out your core team—because it runs alongside your day-to-day ops, not instead of them.
If your business is plateauing—or if growth feels like pushing a boulder uphill—this might be the framework you’ve been missing. Let’s talk about what’s getting in your way and how this Third Growth Option could unlock your next leap.
Always growing.
