About Rick Mull & Solutions to Grow

---

For 40 years, I've been in the trenches helping business owners grow and achieve their goals. I know the feeling of a scaling company because I’ve lived it.

I can empathize with small and medium-sized business owners because I’ve experienced the sleepless nights, the operational frustration, the cash flow stress, and the weight of the founder trap. Throughout my career, I have led the creation, implementation, and execution of strategic plans to build systems, refine processes, and scale teams across diverse B2B industries.

The world is full of consultants who tell you what to do and leave you to figure out the "how." That is not how Solutions to Grow operates.

Our experience has taught us that most advice is cheap, but implementation is everything. We created Solutions to Grow to be the Operating Partner who doesn't just produce a PowerPoint; we actively work alongside you and your team to build, install, and optimize the systems needed to grow your business.

We are dedicated to one outcome: helping you build and grow a business that runs efficiently and profitably—without your constant intervention.

We don't offer generic templates or one-size-fits-all strategies. Our approach is hands-on and focused on delivering tangible results where they matter most: cash flow, operations, and leadership structure.

 ✔  40 Years of Wisdom: Our experience is battle-tested. We focus only on what works in the real world to solve the pain points that growing businesses face.

 ✔  The Operating Partner Model: We don't just advise and coach your leadership; we embed ourselves temporarily in your organization. We act as a fractional COO or Integrator to help you build the system, train your team, and establish clear KPIs.
