Growth isn’t random.

It follows laws.

Most business advice is guesswork dressed up as strategy. It works... until it doesn’t.

My name is Nigel Elkan, and I’m a growth strategist and executive coach who’s tired of watching entrepreneurs rely on bloated, static plans that never work. I've replaced that “snapshot” thinking with a dynamic system built on the real physics of business growth.

The truth is real growth is driven by forces that don’t change. The Physics of Growth makes those forces visible. Across four books, I show how businesses actually move; from idea, to traction, to scale...so you can stop reacting and start building with intent.

Most entrepreneurs don’t fail from lack of effort. They fail from being in the wrong place and not knowing it.

Every business moves through predictable stages. Each one has different priorities, different risks, and different decisions that actually move things forward. This quick assessment shows you exactly where you are—and what to focus on next.
