Most founders and CEOs reach an inflection point where the stakes rise but the resources don’t. You’re expected to lead teams, scale operations, fix what’s broken, and grow the top line – sometimes all in the same week. What you really need is seasoned leadership to help make the right calls – but that kind of experience isn’t something you can download, delegate, or shortcut. True leadership, the kind that’s earned through years of failure, recovery, exits, and wins, is both rare and expensive. Most small businesses can’t afford it full-time, and hiring the wrong person wastes time you don’t have.

The result? Companies spin their wheels – hiring task-takers instead of outcome-drivers, consultants instead of builders. Internal teams burn out trying to solve strategic problems with operational tools. Growth stalls not because of lack of effort, but because of lack of experience. What you’re missing isn’t another contractor or a quick fix – it’s someone who’s been through the fire and knows how to get through it again, faster and cheaper. That’s the leadership gap. And it’s exactly where Sketch To Growth™ steps in.
