Business coach and operator

I've run the day‑to‑day myself. Now I help you stop being the bottleneck.

I help owners scale, put systems and process in place, and raise profit margins. I coach you, and I build it with you.

I've run sales, marketing, operations and tech in my own companies

Built for owner-operators in the trades and construction, insurance, real estate and investing, from about $500K a year in revenue and up. The call is free, 30 minutes on Google Meet.

Sound familiar?

Which of these is you?

Pick the one that hurts most. Each one points to where we start.

“I’m doing everything.”

Every decision runs through you.

“I don’t know my real numbers.”

You learn how the month went after it is over.

“My team doesn’t follow through.”

Tasks slip and you end up chasing.

“Sales are up and down.”

Some months are full, some are quiet.

“My team doesn’t know where to start with AI.”

Everyone talks about it. Nobody owns it.

Four ways to work with me

Start small. Go as deep as you want.

Every one starts with a free call, and we pick the right one together.

Know your numbers

Start here

A working session where we find where the business leaks money, time and people. You leave with a short list of what to fix first.

Fix how it runs

Done with you

We set it up together: who does what, written procedures, a weekly meeting, and one page of numbers you can read.

Put AI to work

Done with your team

We help your team put AI to work: pick the tools that pay, set them up, and teach your people to use them, so your team saves hours each week.

Have me in your corner

Ongoing

Regular coaching for you and your leaders. We check in every week on hiring, follow-through and people problems, and fix them early.

Not sure where to start? We will pick it together on the call.

The change

What changes when it runs without you

Most owners sit in the middle of every decision. We build the structure that takes you out of the middle.

Today: it all runs through you.

Sales, marketing, money, hiring, customers and delivery all point arrows at the owner in the middle

After: every area has a person in charge.

An org chart: the owner on top, and sales, marketing, money, hiring, customers and delivery all connected to the owner, each with a person in charge, plus written procedures and a weekly meeting

    Questions

    Straight answers.

    Is this for my industry? +
    Most of my work is with owner-operators in the trades and construction, insurance, real estate and investing, from about $500K a year in revenue. Outside that, book a call and I will tell you straight whether I can help.
    I have tried coaches before. Nothing stuck. +
    That usually happens when advice is not tied to your numbers. We start with where the business is, fix the biggest leak first and keep it simple enough to run every week.
    Is this another guru selling a course? +
    Fair question. I do not sell a get-rich plan or a course. I have built and run businesses since 2014, and what I teach is how they are built to run. The Scorecard costs nothing, and in about two minutes you will know whether I see your business clearly.
    I do not have time for this. +
    That is the problem we fix first. The Scorecard takes about two minutes and the call takes thirty. The first changes usually free up time quickly.
    What does it cost? +
    The Scorecard and the first call are free. Pricing depends on which way of working together fits you, and I'll go over it on the call once we both know what you need. There's no pressure to say yes.
    What happens on the call? +
    Thirty minutes on Google Meet. We look at where the business is, what breaks first and what to fix in what order. If working together makes sense, we talk about it. If not, you still know your next step.
    What do you do with my email? +
    It goes to my team so we can reach you about your Scorecard. Your phone number is optional, and we only text you if you tick the box.
