Scaling Up for the Next Stage of Growth
Presented by Sam Frank Growth and Cultures That Work
July 22, 2026 | Troy, MI
Has Your Business Outgrown the Way It’s Running Today?
A hands-on workshop for founder-led companies that feel stretched by growth and want a clearer path forward.
As companies grow, the way they operate has to evolve. What worked at one stage can start creating strain in the next: unclear priorities, leadership gaps, cash pressure, or a structure that has not kept up with the business. This hands-on workshop will help you step back, see what needs to change, and leave with a clearer path forward.
Owners are welcome to attend on their own, but the workshop is best experienced with members of your leadership team.
With a focus on leadership readiness and cash to fuel growth.

- Strategy — Align your Business around a powerful strategy that clearly differentiates your offering and is viewed as unique in the marketplace.

- Execution — Build an accountability system that assures that things get done when they are supposed to get done.
- Cash — Generate cash reserves internally minimizing the need for outside financial resources.
Why work with us?
We’ve coached dozens of mid-market executive leaders and their teams that have scaled up with extraordinary results. A few results are here:
- Tag Birge and Andrew Held grew Birge & Held to be one of the largest multi-family apartment businesses in Indiana in 2022.
- Bill Dahm’s leadership team inspired Crew Carwash to become one of Glassdoor’s 2022 Best Places to Work.
- Doug Bowen and his leadership team at Bowen Engineering achieved their annual One Page Strategic Plan growth targets and celebrated with a trip to Key West for the entire company of 380 employees!
These business leaders have something in common. They confront brutal facts and retain unwavering faith that they can and will prevail. They are fanatic about disciplined thought, disciplined people, and disciplined action.
Scaling Up is challenging work. These leaders have achieved clarity, alignment and focus and have a team that is dedicated to the plan, and diligent in execution. This is essential to your success!
It all starts with an aligned leadership team who create a resilient, results-driven culture for your business to scale. We’ll guide you through the development of your differentiated plan, powered by a proven system using growth processes, tools, and techniques.
This workshop is especially helpful for those who have a growth mindset and who are determined to take the time needed to work on their business. Is growth an imperative for you and your team? If so, this workshop is for you!
The Scaling Up Methodology has been instrumental in helping our company scale up and work to achieve our BHAG!

Craig’s approach to “scaling up” has been instrumental in Birge and Held’s growth from a small apartment owner with $100M in assets to one of the largest multifamily apartment owners in the Midwest with over 1 Billion AUM.
While my team (I have a 4-member senior leadership team) and I thought we understood all the various things we were doing around marketing, sales, delivery, service, and follow-up, Dan has helped bring us to a new and more insightful level.
A huge piece of why we have been and continue to be successful is that Dan uses the Scaling Up model, as well as other useful tools from his deep and storied history.
He has an amazing way of delivering ideas, good news, bad news and suggestions that don't come across as the "paid consultant" telling you what to do.
who should attend?
This workshop is for Mid-Market, privately held and or family business leaders who are facing the complexity of rapid growth. We invite you to bring 3 leaders such as the Founder, Owner, CEO, COO, CFO, Executive Team Leaders, Director of HR, or Operations Managers, who will benefit substantially from this investment.
