Attention Founder CEOs of $1-5M consulting firms with teams of at least 5:

Are you “operationally overcommitted,” overworked, and on the verge of burnout?

It’s time to finally remove yourself from operations, create self-managing teams, and achieve both growth and freedom

As the visionary leader of your business, you imagined the freedom and possibilities of entrepreneurship.

But the reality is you’re working longer hours and earning less than if you’d gone to work for corporate.

If you’re like many of our clients, you’ve probably experienced…

  • Feeling as if the success of the business rests solely on your shoulders. Your amazing services are tough to deliver without your involvement – and you don’t know why.

  • Running from one dumpster fire to the next instead of working on exciting projects to grow your business. The urgent tasks outweigh the important tasks.

  • Frustration from unpredictable revenue and profit. You want to grow the business but you’re tapped out. You can’t work any more hours than you already are, so you back away from growth. You’re prioritizing the pay of the team over yourself

  • A lack of confidence in the ability to deliver client results. Your lack of confidence shows up in hard-to-close sales conversations.

  • So much overwhelm that you’re teetering on the edge of burnout. Your personal life, health and relationships are suffering.

Your dream of entrepreneurship has been replaced by a high-stress, demanding job that consumes your time and energy.

But that doesn’t need to be your reality. 

Your vision of entrepreneurial freedom and possibilities is within your reach.

It is possible to step back from the day-to-day details of managing your business once you recognize operations as a mindset, not a department. Making this transition is a three-pronged approach of mindset shifts, practical tools, and team development delivered through our Ops Flywheel™.

The flywheel concept is often used to describe a self-reinforcing loop where each part of the process feeds into the next, creating momentum that can lead to greater efficiency and success over time. 

In our model, the flywheel consists of four key components:

Let’s get started

Discover your FounderFreedom™ score with tangible action steps to improve.

1.

Purpose: The foundation of our organization and therefore, operations. Purpose is about the 'why' of an organization—its vision, core values and culture, and the goals we set out to achieve.

2.

People: The individuals within the organization are critical to fulfilling its purpose. Our focus on clarity and engagement in this area fuels the organization.

3.

Process: Refers to the systems and workflows that are put in place to ensure that the activities of the People are structured and efficient. This could include methodologies, standard operating procedures, and quality control measures.

4.

Profit: Finally, Profit is the result of a well-executed combination of Purpose, People, and Process. This represents the financial success that comes from effective operations.

At the center of the flywheel is Performance. Continuous improvement and performance measurement in these four areas are at the heart of the operational strategy. 

Your focus on the interdependence of these four P’s (Purpose, People, Process, and Profit) - with a focus on Performance - allows you to create a virtuous cycle that leads to sustained improvement and success.

With a focus on leadership and communication skills, we help build and coordinate your Ops Flywheel™ to create the entrepreneurial freedom that business owners like you are seeking.

Since 2008, we’ve helped more than 100 consulting agency owners run successful businesses AND be fully present for their lives by growing revenue 3x and reducing their personal work time by 40%.

We approach Operations as a mindset, not a department. And we help you leverage your time by working directly with and through your Ops Manager and team. We’ll train and mentor them so that YOU can focus on the impact and innovations that move the growth needle of your business.

We’re not just cheering you on from the shore - we’re in the boat with you, keeping cadence and ensuring progress.

We address the root of your challenges, transforming leadership styles and business cultures. We provide tailored strategies to overcome them, leading to a healthier, more balanced life for you and your team and a successful journey for the business.

Let’s do it together.
