If you burn this business to the ground and start a new one, you will eventually run right back into the same wall you’re currently facing.
So many talented entrepreneurs reach a tipping point where their business starts to grow incredibly quickly. This tends to look like:
✔️ Amazing client results (and steady leads and referrals),
✔️ A never-ending list of fulfillment tasks to be completed (leading to knee-jerk hiring of bandaid contractors),
✔️ Too many balls in the air (burning the candle at both ends and stress that threatens to crush them), and
✔️ A business back-end that is ready to collapse like a house of cards
But what if it’s not your business model that’s the problem?
What if it’s the WAY you’re running your business?
Nearly every successful entrepreneur I have ever worked with has struggled with the day-to-day operations of their business.
These brilliant, hardworking business owners exhaust themselves delivering with excellence day in and day out….without realizing that their business can only grow so much without establishing a sustainable operational foundation.
They try to keep going on grit alone, and it’s never pretty.
Their days get longer,
They spend less and less time working IN their businesses rather than ON them, and
They start to genuinely resent the never-ending work that robs them of the freedom they were chasing when they started their businesses
At some point, they all have tried building a system or two, or hiring another random team member, or randomly increasing their prices with no idea if they were profitable.
But these were all like separate corners of a jigsaw puzzle...only a few pieces put together here and there makes it incredibly difficult to pull together the entire picture.
And I knew there was a better way to bring everything into focus…
Establish a solid operational foundation so you can build a team and systems with a 6-hour intensive (split over two consecutive days) that will transform your operations and set you on the path to sustainable team & business growth.
Fall head over heels in love with your business as you move from chaos to clarity and own your role as confident CEO.
Rediscover the joy and freedom of running a business (that doesn’t run you!) and go to bed at night without the weight of your to-do list threatening to crush you.
How to get the backend of your business in order, even when you’re already drowning.
We’ll dive into the secrets to identify your unique business framework that will guide your decision-making – and reduce the number of hours you spend in fulfillment each week.
How to get over your fear (or dislike!) of numbers and get them working FOR you!
A lack of clarity surrounding finances is one of the biggest hurdles entrepreneurs face. In this section, we’ll meet that head on and you’ll discover how much your product/service actually costs you to deliver, which key financial numbers you NEED to know, and the KPIs (key performance indicators) that will give you a bird’s eye view of the health of your business.
How to assemble a team that’s ready to pursue your vision.
Business owners have a bad habit of hiring haphazardly and then wondering why their team isn’t working. In this session, you’ll learn how to strategically build a team that moves you closer to your goals – all while building an amazing team culture.
How to build repeatable systems that are the key to long-term profitability and growth
Let’s go beyond thinking that discovering the perfect project management system will sort out all your systems woes!
In this session, we’ll walk through how to build a list of processes that is unique to you and your business, how to create an SOP bank (that you don’t need to build all by yourself), and more:
30 DAy VOXER ACCESS
The intensive days are, well, intense, and questions sometimes pop up once we're done! To ensure you're supported well as you implement everything we cover on our calls, you'll get 30 days of Voxer access to cover any and all issues that may arise!
1 HOur follow up call
Sometimes it helps to have a more in-depth conversation or be able to screenshare, so you'll have the option to book a 1 hour follow up call 3 weeks after your intensive. We can walk through any questions you have and iron out any wrinkles.
SYstems kickstart playbook
Along with the recordings from both days of the intensive, you'll receive a completely customized Playbook that recaps: where things currently stand, recommendations for getting you ready for next-level stability and growth, links to any reference materials, and links to all the resources you need for implementation. No more searching around for random files and documents - everything is linked directly from your Playbook to save you time and energy!
Templates & Swipe Files
Starting from scratch is never fun, so you'll walk away with everything you need to get your business running like a well-oiled machine! From spreadsheets (hello, KPI Dashboard and Systems Map!), to swipe files (here's looking at you, Google Drive Reorganization Structure and SOP Creation Guide), and SEVEN project management templates, you'll be able to hit the ground running!
