Every Business Has a Summit

We guide business owners to build the leadership, systems and financial discipline required to reach it.

What's Slowing Your Climb?

Most business owners struggle in or more of these four critical areas.

No Long-Term Direction

Complete lack of or confusing business mission that doesn't inspire or motivate anyone.

Little or Poor Financial Reporting

Failure to create or even understand vital reports that tell you what is going wrong and when.

Lack of Business Processes

Confusing or ill-communicated operational processes that amount to barely organized chaos.

Lack of Employee Accountability

Having the wrong people in the wrong seats and not being able to hold them accountable.

Lead From The Summit, Not The Base Camp

Reaching the summit in your business isn’t about working harder. It’s about building the leadership, systems, accountability and financial discipline that allows your business to grow without depending on you for every decision.

Turn Operational Chaos Into Clear Systems

As a leader, your top priority is the long-term direction of your company. Your employees need you to have a clearly defined vision. We'll help you with the structure, training and resources to develop and communicate exactly that.

Fix Accountability Problems in Your Company

Once you can communicate your vision for the future, we'll partner with you to strengthen the internal infrastructure your company requires, like processes, leadership and employee development and more.

While each of these 10 steps can significantly impact multiple aspects of any small business, their collective implementation can fortify a business’s foundation, leading to a stronger, healthier, and more enduring enterprise.

Frequently Asked Questions

The length of any business coaching program depends on your unique goals, current business challenges and desired level of service. A typical program can run anywhere from 90 days to 18 months.

Similar to the length of a program, the investment for business coaching varies. However, in each and every company we've worked with, we've found ways to increase existing profits to more than cover the investment in coaching.

To that end, we offer packages for every budget including by the hour, by the month or by the project.

No. My experience as a business owner has taught me how bad we hate long-term contracts. While some of my engagements have lasted years, most last between 6 and 18 months. All an engagement requires is a 30 day notice of intent to end and the agreement is done.

No. Not legally. I don't take any stock ownership. When I engage with a client, I'm immersed into the company like a partner, but you’re in charge. You make all the decisions. I won’t do your work for you, but with you. I will definitely help with your strategies and I might recommend some good people to outsource some of the accounting, legal and marketing tasks too, all in an effort help build a team around you.
