We're here to empower small businesses whose livelihoods are on the line every day with the essential knowledge & systems to launch, scale effectively, & exit.
Entrepreneurs often find that the journey of running a business is more complex than the vision that inspired its inception. Turning passion into a thriving, scalable enterprise demands more than grit—it requires clarity, systems, and the right team to bring it all together.
At Vision to Life, we specialize in guiding businesses past common growth roadblocks to build organizations that don’t just survive but thrive. Here’s what we often see:
Lack of Strategic Direction
In the hustle of daily operations, many companies neglect the crucial practice of strategic planning. Without clear annual and quarterly goals, businesses operate like ships without a compass, drifting further from their true potential. We help leaders carve out the time and framework to work on their business—not just in it—ensuring every effort aligns with long-term success.
Misaligned Teams
Your business is only as strong as the people behind it. But hiring mistakes—whether due to unclear processes or cultural mismatches—can disrupt momentum and morale. Our proven strategies help you attract, evaluate, and retain talent that drives your mission forward.
Broken or Missing Systems
Without streamlined systems to manage workflows and track accountability, even the best teams can fall short. The result? Missed deadlines, confused priorities, and customer dissatisfaction. We empower organizations to implement tools and processes that foster clarity, efficiency, and trust.
Poor Performance Metrics
Growth without measurement is a guessing game. Companies that fail to consistently track performance often miss opportunities or repeat costly mistakes. By embedding real-time, actionable KPIs into every department, we ensure businesses stay on course—accelerating toward their goals with purpose.
At Vision to Life, we believe that scaling a business shouldn’t feel like climbing a mountain without a map. With the right strategies, tools, and guidance, you can turn challenges into stepping stones toward lasting success.
SCOTT GRUBB
Founder
After a fulfilling 5-year stint in the corporate world with giants like Dell and Apple, I had an epiphany—I didn't belong in the massive corporate machinery. In 2008, I took the leap and ventured into the exhilarating startup arena.
However, 2018 marked a pivotal moment when I made the tough call to exit an angel-backed tech startup I co-founded. It wasn't an easy decision, and it came on the heels of some hard-earned lessons. I had missed crucial warning signs, and it nearly led to financial catastrophe for my family. As a founder, I stumbled through every pitfall imaginable, enduring almost two years without a regular paycheck, and at times, using my life savings to keep the company afloat. The commitment to supporting my family of five eventually led to my departure.
But, I mounted a comeback. I assumed the role of Chief Operating Officer in some remarkable organizations at the forefront of innovation. These experiences included steering an Education SaaS company to multiple acquisitions and rapidly developing a high-volume COVID testing company tailored for local governments and higher education institutions during the pandemic. Remarkably, we took this concept from an idea to a market-ready solution in under a month.
Today, my journey has evolved into running a dynamic management-consulting firm. My mission is to guide fellow founders in executing their visions and, importantly, helping them avoid the same pitfalls I once encountered. Simultaneously, I channel my energies into creating digital products for Vision to Life, all with the shared mission of empowering entrepreneurs with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to build and operate successful ventures.
When I'm not immersed in the world of advising founders or crafting content for Vision to Life, you'll find me spending time with my family: my wife, Laura, our daughter, Sawyer, and our two boys, Sagan and Sullivan.
Beyond my family life, I find joy in a competitive game of golf, learning musical instruments, and constantly seeking ways to optimize my health.
