Ready to hire an Integrator...but don’t have time to build the needed systems for a smooth hand-off?
Ditch the
"Chicken or the Egg" Scenario When Hiring...
Get the Back-End of Your Business Ready So You Can Hire and Onboard Key Roles Without Taking Up More Time You Don't Have
Sure, you could try jumping straight into hiring a team member to clean up the chaos in your business.
But onboarding team members when you have no systems in place is never a good move for you – or for your business.
I totally get it! When you are exhausted, overworked, and have no time to spare, the task of onboarding, training, and supporting a brand new team member is nothing short of daunting.
Before you throw good money after bad, it’s important that you understand this:
.
Delegate that which is prepared to be delegated.
Do not delegate a mess.
Consultants can handle messes.
Employees and contractors should not.
~Julie Stoian~
The truth is...
- Asking your new hire to jump in, create structure for their own role while they are learning it, AND make sense of the mishmash of processes (or lack thereof) is a recipe for disaster.
- Business owners who hire too early for key roles in the company often end up in an endless cycle of hiring, frustration, and firing…
- Decisions made when your back is up against a wall are almost never a good strategic move for the long-term health of your business (or your sanity).
- Bandaid solutions are what led you to this chaotic place - you don't need more of them!
Building a sustainable, scalable business you actually enjoy is only possible when you ditch the quick fixes and get strategic.
There's a limit to how far you can muscle along your growth
... unless you first strategically deal with the basics of what makes your business run.
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…
It's time to liberate your time and your profits
(and wave goodbye to team & SOP overwhelm) with a...
Systems Kickstart Intensive
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.
By the end of the Intensive, you'll...
- Transform your schedule (so you don’t miss another important moment with your family & friends).
- Develop repeatable processes, allowing you to step out of fulfillment without sacrificing client experience.
- Conquer your fear of numbers (so you can stop avoiding your bank account and pay yourself what you deserve).
- Learn how to painlessly onboard new rockstar team members who can replicate your excellent results
- Reclaim 5-10 hours per week so you have time to work ON your business rather than IN your business
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.
I got into business because I am a visionary. I have big ideas and that’s where I am the greatest asset to my business. Things like systems & operations, although critically important, are not where I want to be spending my time and NOW I don’t have to spend more time than I need to on these things.
Since Kari and I have finished working together I have been able to start a podcast and a YouTube channel, I have had weekends off, I doubled my gross monthly revenue, I hired a team AND I got my time & my creativity back!
If you are feeling stuck in your business like I was and you know yourself well enough to know that the back end of your business will never get organized by you…I highly recommend hiring Kari. It was by FAR the best investment I made in 2020!

During your Intensive, we'll use my B.E.S.T. Ops Method to reinforce 4 pillars:
PILLAR ONE
Build Your Business Blueprint
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.
- Come away with a detailed understanding of where your time is currently being spent (and how to use it more productively!)
- Build out a clear vision for your company and the core values that will steer all of your business decisions
- Develop clear & sustainable boundaries that enable you to get your freedom back
PILLAR TWO
Evaluate with Ease
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.
- We’ll walk you through how to calculate how much you REALLY need to be charging each customer or client to ensure profitability
- Review our numbers checklist to ensure you have all your ducks in a row
- Build a KPI dashboard that will help you see what’s working (and what isn’t)
PILLAR THREE
Team Building & Communication
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.
- At the end of this session, you will have your current and future org chart mapped out, and identify who your next hire should be
- Streamline your team communication
- Swipe our best practices for managing your team
PILLAR FOUR
Sustainable Systems for Success
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:
- Learn how to turn your business into a well-oiled machine that doesn’t require you to run each and every part.
- Come away with a comprehensive list of processes for you to document in your business
- Swipe our PM templates for the main processes in your business, such as contractor onboarding & offboarding, client onboarding & offboarding, lead follow up, content creation, and content distribution
I'm committed to your success,
so I've built in extra support!
30 DAy VOXER ACCESS

EXTRA 02
50 Tasks to Outsource
Love the idea of outsourcing, but have no idea where to start? Delegating can be at a challenge at first, so here’s alist of 50 things you could hand over to an assistant (and get off your plate for good!).
My business was growing – FAST. It was super exciting but I realized if something didn’t change, my business was going to break.
I messaged Kari and after our sessions and her playbook, I felt like I was in control of my business again.
Everything is running smoothly, my team knows what systems to follow and we’re ready to scale again.
Thank you, Kari for all your help!!

Have we met?
I'm Kari.
There is just something about entrepreneurs! They tend to be hard-working, tenacious, adaptable, and passionate about self-development.
And most importantly? They are freedom-seekers with a huge desire to positively impact their clients and/or customers.
As a Certified Director of Operations, I am passionate about serving online entrepreneurs just like you. Helping to optimize businesses and get talented business owners out of the weeds completely lights me up!
I have worked with dozens of 6 and 7-figure business owners to help identify how to make their companies more simple, run more efficiently, and ready to grow and scale.
With extensive experience as a project manager, Director of Operations/Integrator, and coach, I love to come alongside talented entrepreneurs and support them as they aim (and reach!) their big goals.
As a mom of 3 amazing kids (and wife to a very handsome engineer!), I understand the drive needed to build a business while also prioritizing family. It can be challenging, but it’s absolutely worth it. And I’d love to help you!
Are you a perfect fit?
- You have a consistent flow of leads and referrals coming in and have hit your first $15k month, but are quickly running out of capacity to take on new clients/customers.
- You have achieved success due to talent in your field of expertise, but you're exhausted from doing all the things for all the people.
- You're ready to step into your role as CEO by leading a strong, capable team and building a business that is built on more than just what you can do on your own.
What are the next steps?
Investigate
Let's chat! Book your Systems Clarity Call and we'll dive into what's working, what isn't, and your goals - and see if we're a good fit to work together for a VIP Day!
Intensive
During two three-hour sessions over Zoom, you'll get my expert eyes on the details of your business. We'll workshop through the 4 pillars in your business, and you'll walk away with a clear path forward and customized recommendations.
Implement
It's time to hit the ground running! With your custom playbook to guide you and all the tools you need for success, you're ready to start checking off your list of next steps! You'll be supported with 30 days of Voxer access and a follow-up call for any questions that arise!
You could keep going the way you currently are...
but for how long?
The Systems Kickstart Intensive was specifically designed to meet the unique needs of extraordinarily talented entrepreneurs whose businesses have grown faster than they ever could have dreamed. I know you’re short on time!
Get my eyes on your business, and I’ll help you save hours each week, gain the clarity and tools you need to put out all the fires in your business, and lead with confidence as the CEO you are meant to be.
You may be asking yourself...
You bet we can! This intensive has been carefully prepared and structured to purposefully guide you through everything you need to start building a solid operational foundation for your business.
Building a consistent, scalable business requires dealing with many layers of your operations – much like peeling an onion.
It’s incredibly important to consider each of the pillars we discuss during the intensive to ensure we’re building the right systems to move you closer to the right goals – and that those systems are truly sustainable!
You already have lots of workflows you use every day in your business, so we won’t be starting from scratch. You’ll learn how to document and optimize your systems, and then use this knowledge to better serve your people and quickly get new team members up to speed.
This is probably one of the most common things I hear from visionary entrepreneurs! I’m all about finding ways to structure your business’ back-end so it works with your personality and goals, so even if you don’t love systems, we can still bring about significant change in your business!
The short answer? Yes! Frustration with numbers typically comes from not understanding what they mean and how they can work for you. The exercise we do will empower you and give you the ability to make data-based decisions!
I think the real question is – do have time not to? Picture what your business will look like in 6 months if you don’t get a handle on things now. A small time investment now will pay massive dividends in the future.
