📈 Module 43: Step-by-Step Growth Roadmap

Build a 90-day operating plan with clear targets, owners, and a weekly rhythm that consistently compounds growth.

⏱️ 60–90 minutes to set up, 30 min/week to run Difficulty: Intermediate
By the end of this module, you’ll have a focused 90-day plan, 3–5 leverage moves tied to measurable KPIs, team/owner assignments, a weekly meeting cadence, and a simple scorecard so you always know if you’re on track.

2. Why It Matters

Scale doesn’t come from working harder — it comes from focusing on the right few things, done on a repeatable rhythm. Your Growth Roadmap turns ambition into execution by clarifying what to achieve, who owns it, and how you’ll measure it.

With this system, health pros move from reactive tasks to proactive growth: more qualified leads, higher conversion, better delivery, and predictable revenue.

3. Step-by-Step Guide

1

Choose Your North Star + 3 KPIs

Pick one North Star Metric (e.g., Monthly Recurring Revenue) and 3 supporting KPIs (e.g., Qualified Leads, Consult Show Rate, Close Rate). These become your scoreboard.

Pro Tip: Use formulas — MRR = Consults × Close Rate × Avg. Package Price ÷ months — to see exactly where to focus.
2

Select 3–5 Leverage Moves

Decide on the smallest set of actions most likely to move your KPIs (e.g., weekly partner webinars, referral campaign, lead magnet + email nurture, productized offer).

Pro Tip: If an action doesn’t directly change a KPI, it’s not a leverage move — park it for later.
3

Turn Moves into 90-Day Projects

For each move, define an outcome, milestones, owner, and timeline. Keep scope “thin but complete” so value ships within 2–3 weeks.

Pro Tip: Write outcomes as “By [date], [result] measured by [metric].”
4

Install a Weekly Operating Rhythm

Run a 30-minute Monday meeting: review the scorecard, unblock projects, confirm weekly commitments, and capture issues in a backlog.

Pro Tip: Time-box to 30 minutes; anything not solved in 5 goes to an “issue solve” session after.
5

Build a Simple Scorecard

Track your 4 metrics weekly (North Star + 3 KPIs) with red/yellow/green thresholds. Everyone sees the same truth.

Pro Tip: Use conditional formatting (red < target, yellow ≈ target, green ≥ target) to make gaps obvious.
6

Allocate Capacity & Budget

Estimate hours and costs for each project. If you exceed capacity, cut scope or sequence work. Protect delivery quality.

Pro Tip: Reserve 20–30% of team capacity for support/ops to avoid overload.
7

Run Monthly Reviews & Reset

Every 30 days, review results, retire what’s done, and queue the next thin slice. Keep momentum without bloating the plan.

Pro Tip: Close the loop: what did we learn, what will we change, what will we keep?

5. Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Too many goals. Instead of 10, pick 1 North Star + 3 KPIs.
  • Projects without owners. Instead of “we,” assign a single owner with a due date.
  • No weekly rhythm. Instead of ad-hoc check-ins, run a standing 30-min meeting.
  • Measuring lagging metrics only. Instead of revenue alone, track leading indicators (leads, shows, closes).
  • Overstuffed sprints. Instead of “do everything now,” ship a thin slice in 2–3 weeks.

6. Quick Win Highlight

💡 Quick Win: Write your North Star + 3 KPIs and pick one leverage move to start this week. Book a 30-minute time block on your calendar to create the first milestone.

Template: “North Star = {{metric}}, KPIs = {{kpi1}}, {{kpi2}}, {{kpi3}}. First move = {{move}} → Milestone by {{date}}.”

💬 DM Prompt
