I help founders of $1M–$5M service businesses stop being the bottleneck in their own companies. Not with theory — with structured operational change that makes the business run without you at the center of every decision.
I've built and scaled three businesses. I've been the founder who couldn't take a vacation. I've been the one who hired people and ended up with more work, not less. I know what it looks like from the inside — and I know the specific structural changes that fix it.
My approach isn't coaching. It's operational advisory. We look at how decisions flow, where you're the single point of failure, and we redesign the system so your team can operate independently. Most founders see results within the first month.
