Growth Requires Your Time
Statistics as high as 97% of small businesses struggle or find themselves stuck not because of lack of effort or an inadequate product or service, but rather the absence of a capable partner to work alongside them to allow for sustainable growth.
While most owners and leaders understand the importance of delegation, few are able to find an affordable solution to manage operations so they can focus on acquiring new clients and increasing revenue. Since the reality of running a small business pulls you in multiple directions with seemingly endless things to do, you often find yourself in a reactionary state even when you know this is not the best way to function.
The result is weeks and months that go by wishing you had the time to grow but can’t because you're constantly sidetracked by tasks and disruptions that steal your attention.
The frustration that comes with working too hard for the money you are bringing in without a clear way out often feels incarcerating. Unfortunately, without the right person to properly reduce your workload in daily operations, all of us default to doing too many things. And, if you’re like most, nearly every day you wake up strongly believing you have something of true value to offer with a ton of potential but irritated that you never have the time to grow your business to the level you really want.
Make That Leap
If this sounds like you, you’re certainly not alone which is why we work with small business entrepreneurs to address two of the most common challenges that hold you back:
The first common challenge is a business that is great at what they do, but have not consistently met revenue and profit targets because they lack the necessary time to do it.
The second challenge is a business that is growing quite well and ready to expand or scale, but the business still relies on you far too much to have the time and energy to make that leap.
No matter where you are on the challenge spectrum, the amount of confidence you will feel when you have someone right by your side to relentlessly protect your time so you can focus on growing your business is energizing. The freedom to concentrate on the actions needed to acquire new clients and increase revenue knowing the “day-to-day” is taken care of is almost indescribable. Forward progress becomes attainable without the chaos of non-stop distractions and interruptions.
We Understand
Our company was founded on real life experiences with these exact challenges. Owning and running a small business can be a constant struggle of working too hard and coming up short of expectations. Yet, when you’re free to focus on growing your business knowing that much of the workload from operations is covered, positive progression becomes a reality.
The worst of times as an entrepreneur is when growth and scale seems out of reach or far too difficult to achieve given the amount of things you do on a daily basis. On the other hand, the best of times was knowing everyday your primary objective is to grow your company with a team that can support your efforts. Our mission is to work alongside other entrepreneurs to manage operations so you can concentrate on growth. The way to do that is to offload that operational role so you can move forward.

How It Works
While each business we work alongside differs in the specifics they need, all want the same general result: an affordable way to offload operations so they can grow and scale. To make the most out of every engagement we have developed a 4-phase process to drive the highest impact in the shortest amount of time.
Prepare
The first thing we will do together is a quick but thorough assessment of your company to get a clear picture of where you are and how you got here. This is followed by clarifying exactly what you want over the next 12 to 18 months and then formulating a strategic plan to make that happen.

Pricing
How Much Will This Cost?
No matter how much we believe working together could bring value it still must make financial sense. Therefore, since we made a commitment to work with the small business community, we had to construct a pricing model that is accessible for nearly anyone.
Base Price
The base price is the fixed monthly investment that covers our resources to provide the strategic and tactical support necessary to reach our agreed upon goals. For most small businesses that typically falls between $1,000 and $6,000 with a few below or above that range.
Performance Price
The performance price is the variable monthly adjustment that is only added when specific growth milestones are achieved. The performance price is directly correlated with agreed upon growth targets such as revenue or profit goals established prior to any agreement.
If we enter a discussion under the simple concept that there is an inverse relationship between the base and performance price (the higher the fixed, the lower the variable and vice versa) then we have nearly unlimited ways to co-create a pricing structure that works for everyone involved.
